Anyone know how the 2012's do with stock gearing and 35"'s? I'm thinking about buying a 3.73 sport because I don't want to spend the extra ~$4.5K for a Rubicon........ but if a 4.1 geared Rubicon would save me the expense of having to re-gear later on, I could probably talk myself into it

or will any of them still be inadequate with 35's?

 

Im pretty sure you could re-gear the sport for less than $4,500

 

Right, but the net marginal cost different would only be ~$3k at that point with all of the Rubicon gear. Future resale value would also be greater..... maybe i'm just trying to talk myself into one?

 

Isn't the delta in price more like $8K - MSRP vs MSRP?

 

I was comparing the base Rubicon to how I would order the sport. So I added in the cost of the S package, LSD, and 3.73 gears.

 

I have a 2012 rubicon 6 speed with the max tow package, I have 315 70r 17's I have no power problems at all. no need to re-gear in my opinion.
