Just ask @cosine he knows!
How does it sound with the muffler delete?
I like it a lot, not obtrusive when just cruising around but wakes up when you get on it, nice to hear the motor when you want to hear it :)

Here's a good youtube of the product and some good sound clips, best $100 spent on it so far, and got rid of that beer keg under the JL :)


I to wish I had gotten the LSD when I order mine. I love just the same.
I just added a Rubicon take-off suspension from a JLU with hardtop and steel bumper. It netted me 2.25" in lift.
I also added Smittybilt XRC bumper.

That looks great! Did you notice any affect w/ the steering after adding the Rubi springs? I figured I'd get the slightly longer Mopar Control Arms if the caster goes too low.

I have only been driving it for 2 days now since I added Rubi suspension, I have not noticed anything other than the ride is a little stiffer.

Absolutely not, I love it! Part of me is perfectly happy with the Rubicon takeoffs, it sits just high enough where it's still easy to get in and out but taller than stock. The other part of me want to say screw it and jump into a 2.5" RK lift and 35's.
Im just never happy. Ya im on the side of its a little big to jump into now. Alot higher then stock. Id say the bulging soft top is like 6’4 now with 35s

I wanted more performance, a better ride and to be able to support the weight i put in it when camping and i got all those things. Just higher than i wanted

Now ive thought of all the different racks/storage ideas i can make with this now..

Picked up my sport about 6 weeks ago.
Loving it.
I had a dawn of justice renegade before.
This thing is sooooo fun.
I got the turbo.
So far i added quake led heads and fogs.
Slush mats, body armor sliders, draw tite hitch,
Alien sunshade, and also fitted some side shades as well even though they are for a jk.

Next up hertz factory speaker upgrades and onboard air.

Looking over the window sticker, I see mention among the options of a Dana M220 rear axle and anti-slip differential. Anyone know if these go automatically with the automatic tranny?

Unless things have changed, the Limited Slip Differential , D44 ,is an option, extra $595 or so..
Worth it, in my opinion

yeah, it shows the charge for that. The A/T tires are listed under that, so I assume they go together. The Dana axle is listed without a price under the option for the automatic tranny, so guessing that's part of that package.

Wrangler JL Sport 2dr Sting Gray manual
Yes , I drive the 6 speed stick , I always enjoyed driving manual cars even though I live in a city. I wish there was a place next to the clutch pedal to rest my foot but I am getting used to the Wrangler set up. And yes the 1st gear is very but really very short for regular road driving. I just throw in the first and even without fully releasing the clutch a depress the clutch pedal again and quickly throw it in to the 2nd. The clutch has as well deep bottom inactive range I think but I guess it's a matter of design and maybe Jeeps always have had that type of clutch play. My color is sting grey, tinted hard top and so far the only modification I did is the Mopar locking gas cap 25 $ and yes I opted for the all terrain wheels which for 500$ extra got me as well the locking rear differential. I think the stock black steel rims look fine and I may not even change them but in the future I may get slightly bigger tire.I like the General Tire Grabber with white wall. I think General Tire products are underrated and offer a great value and quality.

Unless one is doing serious off roading I do not see any reason for a lift. The way your blue Jeep looks right now is really great.

nice, very nice , the wheels look fantastic
Thanks! About the gears, I regeared my differentials to 4.56. I can barely use 1st gear now haha. But ya, a sport base model is the way to go for a jeep! Manual trans, doors, locks.


Most annoying thing is keyed entry then push to start.......
