    HPA VW TDI Swap Kit Now Available for YJ

    I got this in my mailbox today. Looks like they have finalized stage 1. I was hoping the "kit" would come in a bit cheaper. Anyway, thought I would pass it on. Not affiliated with HPA at all. HPA VW TDI into YJ Swap Kit

    Armored J8

    Ahh, but some of us would prefer a fixed top that didn't constantly leak and yes I am refering to the jk HARDTOP, could carry a load without having to buy a gobi, baja, etc.

    Armored J8

    Love the barn doors... notice no hard top seem. Clearly with this new shell, it is one integrated complete unit that is not removable. Now THAT is what I wish was in production. Screw the liberty. Standardize your fixed top and removable top on one production platform, the JK. Lowers development...

    J8 Expedition Project:

    I've asked the same question and the answer appears to be no... which I can understand for hauling any kind of load, but for those of us who take kayaks and canoes it poses a bit of a problem.

    J8 Expedition Project:

    AEV hasn't shipped any yet Moose, at least to my knowledge, even though some people have had deposits out there for over a year. I guess with the bankruptcy proceedings and the post shakeup with the Fiat merger, AEV has sort of hit a brick wall, at least that was my understanding. If Dave from...

    Jeep Patriot Extreme???

    Dave, I too was just doing the same thing, lol! Like Scott said, cool little rigs if you understand their limitations. I was just looking at one as a DD because of the decent gas mileage and the capability. However, I decided to back off from it for a few reasons. Biggest gripe owners have is...

    2011 Wrangler rollout this summer

    Totally agree... the plastics in the current interior are garbage. They scratch incredibly easy. Hopefully they also took this opportunity to address the faults with the defroster.

    2011 Wrangler rollout this summer

    I too like the sahara tan, although a bit tough to see just how much gloss is present in the paint. I do think it is a bit short sighted to not offer the color matched hard top as an option on the rubicon. I want the sahara tan color on a rubicon with a color matched hard top straight from the...

    That "super sauce" is urea and it is one of two ways to clean up diesel emissions. The other is called a NOx trap, think more along the lines of a catalytic converter on steroids. From what I have read, this is not Ford trying to be a pain in your ******** and shut you down, far from civilization...

    Not sure if anybody noticed this on the fleet release stuff that hit a few days ago, but in addition to white, they are offering sahara tan... that might just suck me in!! 2011 Fleet Brochure

    VW Diesel in a TJ

    Lot of misinformation here... CRD sales were actually double what Chrysler expected to sell in it's first year of introduction. The real reason it was cut, at least according to corporate was because of tighter emissions regs and the fact that it was illegal to sell in certain states at the time...

    2011 Jeep Wrangler(s)

    Search is your friend... that being said, most indications from "insiders" on other boards like jkforum and jkowners seems to indicate no pentastar v6 for 2011 MY. There will however, be an updated interior, 70th Anniversary Package, and certain colors will have color matched tops available as...

    once again, rumors of new Jeep pickup

    Glad somebody "gets" it. It always pisses me off when people look at what LR did in the NA market as some kind of hallmark of the success of the brand... had they done it properly and marketed appropriately, LR would have sold more defenders than they could have counted. Perhaps they assumed...

    Well according to this article Jeep Axle Ratings in Jp Magazine the 8.25 is a substantially weaker axle than the next gen D44 found in the JK. I have no experience with this axle personally...
