I am looking for a clean, lifted (icon, toytec or equivalent) , loaded trail edition with under 30,000 miles. I am willing to go out of state (I reside in CO) so if you have something, feel free to PM me. Thanks!

I am very interested to see if anyone has installed some sort of leather seating in their TE and what their impressions of the product is or suggestions of nice aftermarket leather kits. Also, has anyone had seat heaters installed on the TE? If so, how much was the kit and which kit was it...

We must really be misunderstanding one another. That said, I would truly like to hear your thoughts on going from my JKU to a TE.

Well spent most of my Saturday morning at a dealership driving and negotiating on an SR5 and a TE. I must say that I am really impressed as to how the stock suspension on each handled on the road, washboard and on the dealers "rock crawling area" (if you call it that). I really liked the TE...

Ha, it has turned into that hasn't it. I guess that is waht happens when you get two guys in a room that are fans of two different vehicles. Hopefully, sometime soon I will see what all the fuss is about. I am looking forward to driving my neighbors TE. I'll keep everyone posted. Who has...

Why dont you go start a new thread instead of clogging up mine with information that has nothing to do with my post? Also, do not put words in my mouth as I never stated that I was a better driver than most I simply stated factual information on the way my JK is equipped. Move on That said, I...

And I am sure if I Google searched I could find a pic of a 4runner with a broken axle as well. The fact is that my vehicle that is on 37's is on the factory Dana 30 with only a Sleeve and C Gussett and I have been on every trail on Moab without any issues. The factory D30 is more than capable...

As previously stated my neighbor who has a TE and I have gone out together and wheeled several different times. There really isn't an area that the TE run equally with the JK simply because of cog, tire size and overall ground clearance. That said, the TE is an extremely capable vehicle and is...

There is actually rumors of a diesel motor in '15. You should see what Bruiser Conversions is doing with the 4BT diesel, on 37" tires and 4.10 gearing you can have 400HP (on idle) and 650 Ft Lbs and 32 MPG hwy/25 City plus blowing a huge cloud of black smoke........Only in my dreams could I...

So, just got off the phone with Icon and I am very impressed with the time they took to properly address all of my questions. Their kits are VERY nice and if I go that way it will most likely be Stage 2 with an upgraded 2.5" rear shock and then continue to upgrade throughout time to their...

Well, just spoke with Toytec via email and they recommended their Ultimate Lift which runs 5100's. I am a little concerned with this since 5100's tend to ride a little firmer than say a King or I'm sure Icon. That said can anyone chime in with their reports as to ride quality?

Ha! Didn't think of that, looking forward to it.

Where do you get your information from? A D30 can more than handle 33's but in heavy wheeling would need to be sleeved and C Gusseted in orde rto handle anything larger.

My neighbor has a 2012 TE with the Ultimate lift and we have wheeled several times together. The TE is a very capable vehicle and in most cases will be more than enough, even in stock form for most "users". The area where my JK is significantly better was in articulation and ground clearance...

based on the 2013's you are correct but before the new motor came out you had the ability to option to lockers. That said, even with out lockers a Jeep will out perform a 4 runner TE, SR5, etc in terms of off road without an issue. Just think in terms of ground clearance and axles alone. Dana...
