Gearing should be easy if you're looking for a 6 speed maunal Rubicon. You're limited to 4.10:1, the highest stock gearing available. You can get higher gearing aftermarket of course. And thats what being a Jeeper is all about, making it your own.

My humble opinion is just get a 12', the prices on good used JK's are high, almost as high as a new one.
I have an 11' Unl. Rubi and I love it but I should have waited for the 12's; a much better motor and trans.
If you join tread lightly (TL) you can find a dealership willing to go with the TL 2% below invoice price I think it is; that's what I did.
You can search all the dealerships inventory online; it's very easy. Most dealerships I called wouldn't honor the TL price; no problem; I just moved on. I don't reccomend visiting the dealerships in person; just search online and then call to see if they'll honor the TL pricing, the whole deal can be done over the phone. Once you have a deal then visit the dealership to make sure you like what you're getting. Some on this forum claim they did even better than the TL discount so maybe there's even some more room to negotiate there.
And thank you for your service to our country; be careful and come back safely.

Wow! I'll keep that in mind. If you got yours for that price I will defiantly talk them down on a JKU Rubi. Not Manu 6spd manual in my area.
