refer to my signature.

not that the OP should be bothered, coming from a landrover and all. he will be acutely aware of premature aging haha

Seriously though there are a few things which improve the driver experience in a 2015 JK compared to a 2007. Increased sound deadening, improved stereo, softer steering wheel, improved interior ergonomics (softer plastic materials and raised centre console height) and most importantly improved front seats.

Give the 2015 a few years of use and it'll feel like the worn out old whore the 2007 would be.

None of which is of any consequence to someone who uses a JK for what it is intended

Aftermarket stereo turned to 11 fixes sound issues.
I'd take a Sparco bucket over the 2015 seat any day of the week. My problem isn't sore arse or back, it's sore abs from getting bounced side to side while wheeling!

Well I did it. Proud owner of a brand new billet silver JK Rubicon manual. One of the last available in the country. Mods on order are the following.
ARB front and rear bars, rear with wheel carrier, Aux tank, Safari snorkel, Uneek dual battery tray. Caloffroad suspension and 285/70 R17 rubber on factory alloys.
Love to hear your comments good and bad.

Have a look at the AEV snorkel, a straighter more direct air path with a lot less work for the installation.

Yep. Go AEV snorkel.
I wouldn't even bother pricing anything else.
