All they need to do is offer the HEMI. We can handle the rest, because they probably won't do it right anyway.

Engine options
more gear options
waterproof EVERYTHING!
relocate the OD off button so it does'nt fill up with crud and stick
make the seats in the 2 dr. raise and fold forward for easier access.
better auto trans
better roll cage
stronger D44 tubes
put in a "vent" so when storming and muggy, but too chilly for the ac, you can open a vent and get fresh air
relocate/shield evap. canister
better stock bumpers

Pre-drill the water weep holes in the mirror bases...

Oh, and add the Hemi option.

Making the Wrangler available for the same pricing, discount, and promotions would be nice too.

i would love a better auto transmission/TC... mine shifts rough even after the TC fix. For a smooth shift, I have to completely let of the gas, allow it to shift, and then slowly accelerate.

Something simple in addition to all the great ones above-mirrors attached to the windshield (ala Cj) with long enough arms to allow the passenger one to be useful with and without doors.

5 speed auto tranny
Fold forward seats for the 2 door
More options available "a la carte" instead of having to get packages (never happen I know, because of cost of manufacturing)
Another green color or bring back one of the old ones
Better stock bumpers
Better quality plastic on the interior bits. I don't mind that is plastic, but its a Jeep, stuff is gonna get scratched, so make it a little more durable at least.

But overall, I am happy with mine and would buy another in a heartbeat so anything Chrysler does is gravy for me!

A better auto tranny/TC that is not constantly hunting for gears and fails to downshift when you need it.

A steering shaft that does not clunk/look like its made by fisher price.

Beefier tie rod and suspension components with GREASE fittings.

Better welded/beefier trackbar brackets that don't snap off when driving down the street.

Lose the carpet and put in a rubber floor from the factory like the FJ.

To heck with more gadgets. They have a full boat just tweaking what they currently have.

My 2 cents:

X1,000,000 on the tranny drain plug. What a total design failure to require a special tool to remove a simple drain plug and then you get tranny fluid EVERYWHERE when it hits the exhuast pipe instead of a drain pan.

GET THE MIRRORS OFF THE DOORS. I mean do they really think we don't take the doors off??? The Mopar relo bracket looks like a 2nd grader designed it with a crayon and a piece of construction paper. A monumental case of "afterthought" .


PAINT THE WHOLE VEHICLE. The paint on the JK is garbage. Not only is the whole Jeep not painted (ever pull your sport bar padding??) , it's sprayed AFTER assembly so the doors, swing gate and hood are all going to rust off the hinges in 10 years because there's no paint under the hinges. (I guess it's too much to ask that a vehicle last more than 10 years these days)

Reiteration on the TB brackets and rubber floor. BTW, the Mopar rubber floor "liner" I've seen, is junk. It's very thin and quite expensive.

All the above are great.

If not the Hemi, a V6 with balls, or even a 4.7L V8.

Radio, the Uconnect feature is there, it should work. I still don't understand why they put it in there on the buttons, but it doesn't work?
