You can probably tell mine, front doors off, rear doors on, 2 car seats in the back, & netting over the roll bar.

I went with the MOPAR one after checking out a few others mentioned.

If you can't buy it for cheap here on the forum, maybe check with the dealer to see about their "best" price, plus that will save you paying shipping.

how do you know if your jeep came with a tranny cooler? what does it look like?

All JKs with auto have a transmission cooler in front of the engine cooling radiator. I hope britjk was referring to an additional cooler.
An additional transmission cooler is a good idea. Lots of threads about adding one.

X2 on the Hidde Hitch. It is too long and looks strange.

MAKE SURE, you decide on your bumpers and add-on before installing a receiver.
IF not, it may cost you double!

Does anyone have a photo of the Smittybilt receiver on their jeep? I would like to see if it sticks out like the hidden hitch or if it more like the Mopar one. Thanks!
