So I bought one, and now I have some $dollarbucks.

Its the "sport" version, 6 speed manual, hardtop, everything stock.

What mods to do first?

also, anyplace near raleigh where I can get some mud on it?

take it back and get something different. my best fried bought a 2010 with manual tranny and that thing is in the shop every other month. he's already replaced the tranny once. he's filing a lawsuit right now under the lemon law. evidently the problematic ones or the ones with the 6 speed gear box, the slushboxes are pretty solid.

it amazes me that a company can manage to make a manual transmission that's a POS

2/24/2011 8:35:30 AM

i know...he was having problems from the time he drove it off the lot. on the way home from the dealership cruising down the hwy it would pop out of gear. the dealership rebuilt it 3 times then he was like fuck it give me a new one. has the same problems with the new one. now he's filing a law suit.

^^ its mercedes for god's sake....

how many mercedes manual transmissions do you see on the road??

i think the little c230 has one as an option but thats pretty much it.

2/24/2011 12:52:23 PM

... in this country

2/24/2011 1:26:47 PM

this is a mercedes transmission is what i'm saying...


also the old Peugeot jeep transmission blew a fat one too.

2/24/2011 2:30:03 PM

Mickey Thompson All Terrains and a leveling kit would be a good place to start. It would look amazing!

After that I would get tinted windows and flows too.

I am not sure if you would want to do anything else to it..

don't forget the ax-5 craptastic manual.

2/24/2011 3:06:06 PM

ax-15 wasn't much better... i had one that dropped a synchro and broke both shafts

i replaced mine with a 3550 and all was better.

2/24/2011 3:30:19 PM

Thanks, this was helpful.

2/24/2011 3:33:24 PM

anyone have any side mount mirrors?

3/25/2011 10:05:15 AM

how much money do you have...

i can give you any array of mods for your jeep given what you want to use it for, what you want it to look like you use it for, and how much you want to spend on it.

3/25/2011 10:17:07 AM

what was I wanting to do to start off, I've done.


but thanks anyway.

3/25/2011 11:21:48 AM

Looks good mang... if you're going to do any offroading

get rocker skids so you don't bang up the pretty metal and powertrax lockers (best bang for the buck and they don't make street driving suck a fat one) before a lift. I always liked being the guy with 31"s going places where the open 35" tire guys couldn't get to.

3/25/2011 2:51:00 PM

thanks, I've got some more items on my list to buy before I start hitting Uwharrie, but I think it looks damn good compared to the stock look

Plus, I bought a BestTop SoftTop for it, so when it's consistently warmer, I'll be putting that on.

3/25/2011 3:54:40 PM

No reason at all you cant go to uwharrie with that jeep just as it sits now.

3/25/2011 5:19:20 PM

^!

i went with a 94 yj with nothing but shackles 31"s and stock limited slips.

you can drive around the really hard crap.

3/25/2011 6:41:05 PM

then I might have to hit it up a few times. Since it's only about 1.5 months old, I don't wanna get it all scratched up yet

Hell if IGOR and I can flex a prelude at Uwharrie you sure the hell can do it with that jeep!

3/26/2011 1:08:34 PM

lol you took a prelude there? Please tell me there's vids or pics of this, I find this hilarious.

3/27/2011 8:33:57 AM

Hell yeah! Igor will chip in with pics.

3/27/2011 4:28:26 PM

it didn't get very far obviously, just far enough to do the rear brakes Joel was walking all over that shit though, it was a muddy ass ride that night.

3/27/2011 5:26:24 PM

LOL @ the prelude (no offense).

So when's a good time to go put some mud on the tires?

3/27/2011 8:44:37 PM

^^I like that first pic because i remember selling you those rims

3/28/2011 11:27:49 PM

Haha I do remember i got some sort of a great tdub deal on them. They held up really well, actually. My little sis is still hopping the curbs around UNC-C with those things. That prelude must be going on 280-300K right now.

3/28/2011 11:35:09 PM

DAMN that's a lot of miles.

4/1/2011 4:45:36 PM

this looks goooood....

here's hoping it has a v8 option like the original.

4/1/2011 6:25:51 PM

yeah that is pretty pimp

4/1/2011 7:45:00 PM

anyone have any hand grips and/or stainless steel hood latches?

6/27/2011 10:40:01 PM

JEEP BRAHHHH

6/28/2011 3:50:28 PM

i have some OME (Old Man Emu) shocks w/ appox. 20K miles on them that I'll get rid of cheap if you're interested in a great set of shocks. they were originally installed on an '08 Rubicon and i don't know if they'll work on an '11.

preference for intake kits?

9/27/2011 2:02:17 PM

no homo before hand.

but damn its hard to find an automatic jeep from the 90s.

Stock? [/hate]

^ Agree. Just put in a replacement filter every once in a while.

Most people who want to waste their money seem to do so on the K&N FIPK.

if you drive on dirt you want a paper filter

Was that an attempt at humor? I'm not really sure.
