Just a quick question what is the difference between the the two ? Is it just the spoiler ?

Spoiler, wheels, Sports trim, foglights, engine, exhaust, climate control (?), etc
TJ AWD Sports also gets 4 x body-coloured mudflaps from the factory and coloured side rubbing strips too :)
And does the standard TJ AWD not have tweeters up front?
N.B. As has been discussed in many threads here, the AWD Sports/VRX with the sporty muffler is even louder/droanier than a FWD Sports/VRX. This is due to the piping being different in the AWD, hence more drone.
If you like the car loud, then great. But a fair few AWD Sports owners have commented about the drone & noise levels in-cabin.

Solve it with a set of extractors. Gives you back the lost power + a tiny bit more + a lot more lot to mid torque.

Engine is the same, exhaust is different.

Don't forget the white "sports" instruments. I think there is a link somewhere to the TJ AWD brochure somewhere. If not PM me and I can email you a copy.

as mostly above.
its spoiler (with brake light), wheels (16x6), fog lights, seats, exhaust (2.5"), dials, climate control, leather steering wheel.
Exhaust takes it from 155kw to 163kw if i remember (169 in the 2wd varieties).
And no drone here.

Yeap, the TW VR-X AWD was the only model to get 16x7 rims, according to all the spec sheets I have looked at.

Can I point you in the direction of a thread I started a while ago (when I was trying to mainly solve the argument about suspension being different to see if it was worthwhile buying a set of sports struts to upgrade my std one, but noone could give me a definitive answer but also started a list of the differences as I couldn't find one anywhere)..

Ah nothing like some alliteration in the morning.
Care must be taken when reading the feature summaries on car sales and information sites even if sourced from manufacturers as it is quite easy to have 2 similar/same vehicles sound completely different depending how detailed the SAME features are described. As is the case of the rear suspension descriptions included for the AWD here: Post #14 http://www.aussiemagna.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=61111
I believe both are identical just described with diffferent levels of detail.
