Now that the first group buy has reached 50+ paid and we are just waiting to receive them, I figured we could start to get the ball rolling on the next group buy.
So.....what does everyone want next?
If you want something not in the poll originally, please share it below, and if it receives support it can become one of the placeholders.
I would appreciate a primer on CAI from a seasoned JG'er. I did a quick search on the fora but mostly see chatter among already educated CAI folks, or pleas for someone to develop one for our WK2s. I get the basic principle involved but would be interested in hearing pros/cons, expected performance gains, costs, warranty issues (doubtful since it looks like Mopar will be offering this at some point), etc. Even a few bullet points would be helpful and appreciated. Armed with a bit of knowledge I might just go for it.
How about some nerf bars (chrome or black, maybe both), rock gaurds rails (or whatever you call them). I would also be down for a CAI if the price is right, but they typically come with a need for a tune, so that is something else.
Or lets get crazy and get a supercharger group buy so we can keep up with the SRT8 boys
Curious, wouldn't potential "group buy" items need to from an outside source, e.g., not MOPAR?
I voted for the Tow Hooks (assumed OEM and I would love a discount on OEM rock rails) but do you think we have the ability to get a discount from MOPAR? Or is the plan to target a specific dealer, have them order a large volume and sell them to us at dealer price? Or are we talking no MOPAR parts all together?
Aside from the MOPAR parts that many people want we may be limited in our group buy options; at this point. The only current items that come quickly to mind from a 3rd party vendor (like the Shark Fin) would be for HiD Fogs & LED lights (interior & exterior). Other items, such as Weather-Tec or Husky slush mats or a K&N Drop-in Air Filter would have to come through a wholesaler.
Again, all assumptions and I hope I am wrong. I am not trying to be a naysayer I just want to put it out there as something to consider before 80+ people chime in on what they would like.
Regarding the CAI... I've been trying to get a hold of Michael at BWoody. If I get out of work at a decent hour tonight I will drop in. No weekend hours for them makes it very tough. Perhaps if I can tell him that I have -x- amount of people interested they'd be more receptive.
Wasn't there a thread showing off some fairly decent third party rock rails? The Mopar ones are a touch pricey. I'd vote for quality third party rock rails.
Well........I thought I saw where the Summit came with them but could never see it in ink when I went looking again so I'm unsure. It would be nice though!
I am all for the Tow Hooks, Mopar Tow hooks that is. I am not opposed to others; I just haven't seen any.
Question on the Slush Mats (Mopar or other) was the consensus to buy the Front/Rear set or the Front/Rear/Cargo set?
Food for thought... if it is decided to go with the Mopar Slush mats then, in an effort to satisfy most, perhaps we could try to get 25+ interested for each item - Mopar Tow Hooks & Mopar Slush Mats. Then, we can present our even larger group buy to a dealership. If we are ordering a Mopar part from a dealer anyway, why not take care of both and try for a better discount based on pure volume.
Did I just jam this post and make it more complicated? If so, I am sorry. I am just concerned that whichever item the group goes with, Tow Hooks or Slush Mats, Mopar or 3rd Party, then we have less than 25 people interested - based on the polling.
I have the Mopar mats (front/rear) and they fit and look great. I have another thread on here that shows pics of my install (along with the bright pedals).
Why not to include some other people like in pool and not just you? Personally I do have floor mats already and don't care much about hooks. Hood wind deflector would be good since expensive.
That is a great question and I am glad you asked. Yes. I plan on making a thread (exactly like this one) to allow the members to vote on what item(s) they want in a group buy. The item(s) with the highest interest, wins. If I don't want the item(s) being offered in the group buy, I won't buy into it, but will still set it up. Simple as that.

OK......? The point of this thread was to have people vote for the next group buy off items already mentioned or suggested in other threads or PMs to me. Slush Mats and Tow Hooks clearly won this one with a large enough interest to do a group buy.

There ya go! That is the whole point of this thread! Now that you have suggested 'hood wind deflector', is there anyone else interested in this item to be offered in a group buy?
Sorry, but is this voting’s for items YOU like or PEOPLE on forum might like? All I suggested is to add item to the VOTE, I did last time too and your ignored. Don't setup anything if you are going this way, I don't care and I could pay $10 more for anything on this list.

Start a thread yourself and see what people want. See how that goes. And, here is a little tip: I wouldn't suggest a Group Buy for MOPAR items way too much stress.
Now, this thread showed a lot of interest in getting LED kits for the new Wk2, not sure what type of LED light kits though. Perhaps that would be a good candidate for a group buy. The bug deflector (assuming it isn't MOPAR) may also be something to consider.
Next step, find a vendor willing to offer such a product, at a good price and put it out there. But, be sure to check the vendor section and if there is an LED light vendor or bug deflector vendor listed contact them first and allow them ample time to answer your request before looking elsewhere. then, start the thread and have fun.
Let me know how it goes...
