    Default TJ AWD vs AWD Sport Differences

    Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, but I've searched for about two weeks, and can't seem to find what I was looking for. If it is, then excuse my noobiness and feel free to point me in the right direction.

    From what I can understand, there are only a few differences between the models, but I'm sure I must be wrong?

    Anyways, differences I've managed to discover between AWD Exec and AWD Sport (this list has been updated as other differences have been proven)..

    Different rear muffler (responsible for extra power).
    White faced dials on Sports
    Different Rims (same size)
    Different Tyres - Turanzas on Exec, GII's on Sports
    8 (vs 6) speaker stereo - (According to redbook)
    Sports Wing
    Sports interior trim.
    Climate Control Aircon on Sports (redbook photo)
    Fog Lamps on Sports

    The sports would also have the sports suspension I would assume.

    I think they both got the same springs/ shocks, actually.

    The TJ AWD springs sit ~10mm lower than normal & are firmer than stock too. I doubt Mitsu went to the trouble of manufacturing 3 springs; Exec, AWD Exec + Sports.

    ..yeah, the sports sit lower in the other ranges. If you look on redbook, etc you'll see the height of the AWD/AWD sports is no different.

    Different tyres as standard.

    Base AWD had Turanzas
    Sports had GII's

    Different seat trim.

    Actually a bit lower as a friend bought a TJII base AWD at the same time as I did.

    I would have thought MMAL would have only made 2 springs, the normal one and one for the sports varients. Easy explanation to why the AWD sits lower, its because it has added weight. Same concept as throwing a back of cement into the car...
