et2, you have made a good choice. We have a '13 that both of us absolutely enjoy driving and riding in. Drives great and tows great. The only 'problem' that I have had is on a trip to Cody Wy. I noticed some cupping on the front tires one morning as I was hooking up. I later found out that this may have been due to the power steering not being active as it was rolling down the road. I don't really know for sure.
A stop and Big Horn tire and $400 took care oof the problem and we continued the trip. I am sure I would have been fine to towed back home to N Georgia, but then I wanted to be sure and the new tires matched the stocks.
I paid a tech at our shop a $100 to install the Blue Ox and I did the wiring for the brakes and lights myself.
Did you get the hard top? Ours came with both (no idea why!) and I sold the soft top for a grand. Much quieter and dryer than the soft.
Enjoy the Jeep, they hold their value really well but I am sure you won't ever want to get rid of it except to maybe buy another.
