They are Rubicon take offs. I wanted the KO2 BFGs, so I traded the stock Willys wheels and tires for the take offs.
Love your Willys, I have one just like it including the 6 speed on the way. Only difference is I got the hardtop.Just joined the Willys club last night. 2 door, 6 cyl, 6 speed manual and the premium soft top. I'm hoping the soft top works well for me during the cold North Dakota winters. This is the Jeep I wanted to order, but the practical side of me said to get the Gladiator and an automatic trans. After 3 weeks of second guessing myself, I decided to sell my Mustang convertible and side by side and ordered my Jeep toy - The Deuce (the Jeep Jeep). Looking forward to some fun in this thing!!
The soft top has a bit more wind noise than I expected as it has a rather large gap without any velcro where it opens up for the sun rider top function, but I usually drive with the windows down (and now will have the top open) so wind noise doesn't really matter - at least in the non-winter months. I'm loving the 6 speed.
I was curious about the new soft tops. I have the dual tops on my 2012 Rubicon but decided to just do the hardtop this time. Summers are pretty short here so the hardtop made sense.
Where did you put the wire, great idea!Jumped a wire from the halo light to the fender light and changed the fender lights to oracle switchbacks. Now they turn on when the halo turns on.
Will probably look better in the evening
I used this thread. My post 142 helped answer some details.
First congratulations. May I ask, why the cold weather group when living in Fla.?! What is a 'Toad'?New to the site. This will be my first Wrangler I’ve ever owned. As a kid/teen we had Jeep Cherokees when I lived in Vermont. This was back in the 80s. I have very fond memories of those cars—I was a big downhill skier at the time and I don’t remember ever having any issues getting to the slopes on a snow day!
Anyway, I ordered a Jeep Wrangler Willy 4dr on 11/16. Opted for:
White—my daughter really wanted this color
V6
Sun and sound
Tech group
Safety group
Cold weather group.
I asked my dealer for the vin today and supposedly my Jeep is scheduled to ship tomorrow! I was not expecting it until mid January.
Fingers crossed. We will primarily use it as a Toad. I opted for the auto for my wife’s convenience and my son is about to get his permit. Keeping it simple—for them.
This site has been awesome so far. Thank you!
A Toad is a vehicle one uses to flat tow behind their RV.
Certainly makes sense. I'm the same way but with heat. My Jeep Liberty had heated seats and I think I used them once, when the heat wasn't working!A Toad is a vehicle one uses to flat tow behind their RV.
I got the Cold weather package for two reasons:
1. I love heated seats on my back after a long day, after working out, or after golfing. I use heated seats on a very regular basis—even in the summer
2. I live in N Florida and it can get in the 30s periodically. I know that is nothing compared to other areas, but having purposely moved away from Vermont, I cannot stand the cold anymore.
