Thanks!
Yea I'm really loving this color.
The 6 speed with the new engine is fine. I traded in my 2011 which also had the 6 speed, and I can tell the difference. I will have no complaints running 35s on the 4.10 gearing.
I never had any issues with my 2011 though, I made sure I got the 6 speed because I knew the automatics paired with the 3.8 were a horrible choice. I ran 35s on that also, and it was good but I think a re-gear to 4.88 would have been optimal for that setup.
You'll like it. It's not my daily driver, but I will occasionally drive it to work. And besides, Jeeps should have manual transmissions anyway.
Ha. Well I have all the stuff I took off my 2011. I think the first thing is to put the front stubby on and the powerplant. Oh, and the skid plates. Have to get a different engine skid though, but the gas and transfer case should bolt right on.
Then, have to decide on lift and tires. Ran a 2" BB and 1" BL on my 2011, with 35 KM2s. I really liked that setup, except for the BL. Think I'll do something similar.

So I found one, got a great deal (2% below invoice) and picked it up today after work.
Here it is!

Ok, dealer really messed up and told me they could add an option after the fact, and now they can't.
End result, they took the Crush back and got me a Dozer that was optioned exactly the way I wanted.
2012 Dozer JKUR 6 speed with Soft top, Nav and Connectivity.
Everything turned out great. I still got this one for an AWESOME price. It was actually cheaper than the Crush because of the way it was optioned out.
