Congrats! Despite other comments, the new motor alone is worth it, it's not just a gearing issue. Look forward to seeing the pics, mine is still about 4 weeks out.

Do a quick Google search and you'll see all the issues with the 3.8, spend the money and get a 12'+

congrats on the new purchase!! With the current prices of the used ones you can get a new one with the added peace of mind.

Google anything and you will find issues with it. With the numbers of JK's out there, the 3.8 engine problems are minimal. My '07 has been great even with 35's. I may not be able to pass a car, but I can climb up a mountain.:wings:

OP, I was parked right next to you on day one in a green Taco.

Your rig is at 1:35 in my video.

Unfortunately the 2011 model year is kind of the bastard child of the JKs. New interior, new ECU coding, old engine. The new ECU coding means that all the programmers that work on the 07-10 model years will not work, so you're stuck with the crappy 3.8 that you can't tune.

Personally I'd either get a 2010, or a 2012+.

Bought a 2013

Looks good! What's the white decal you have on the rear passenger side?

Nice!

I think you'll be a lot happier with the 13 than a pre 12. The 3.6L is a great motor, get decent mileage, and the 5 speed auto is a perfect match.

Congrats!! Looks good and I think you made a wise decision.
