My first 2011 was a 6-speed, and while it was still slow to pass people, it could at least hold speed in 5th on the highway on inclines and against the wind.

Congrats... You won't regret the 4.10s if you go up to 35s. I also traded an 11 for 12 (back in January) and never regretted it.

I traded an 2011 4 door Rubicon for a 2012 2 door Rubicon one month ago. I went to a Jeep that weighs a thousand pounds less and has 80 more horesepower, so the difference in performance is huge. I had a choice between a 2012 and a 2013 that were sitting side by side on the dealer's lot. They were both the same color, and similarly equipped. I chose the 2012 because I didn't want to have to change wheels first thing, and because I liked the seat fabric better on the 2012. The 2013 fabric is really fine grain and looked to me like it would be a lot harder to keep clean, and less durable.

good choice on the color!!!

I was hesitant at first with the color matched top and fenders.. but now I love it..

Well written (yes, I read the whole thing). I'm normally a make-the-decision-and-run-with-it kinda guy, but for my 2012 JKUR I had no choice but to order one to my spec (both dealers near me didn't have anything close to what I wanted). Good luck with the new one!

Tough choice, I agree going with the 4.10's over the 3.73's, great job on that option! My brother made the mistake of the 3.73's and is now looking into a regear after he upgraded his Jeep with everything under the sun. Another $1500 gone! The black 13 does look good though, but I imagine it'd be extremely hot in Texas!

The 2 door must really be fun to drive. Wish I could have both.

Looks great. I might get a set of black flares for mine. I saw one in person with that combo and liked it a lot.

Good to get it exactly as you'd want it. I'm never really sure what I want until my grubby paws are on the steering wheel.

Yeah, the 4:10 is a no-brainer, especially since it's a no-charge option. I thought, well maybe if I went to 37s I'd re-gear anyway; but, realistically I'm more likely to do 33-35. I just don't want a tire so big and heavy I can't easily change a flat by myself.

At least you got the benefit of moving to 4:10s after totalling the first one – saw your sig and remembered reading the thread you posted about it. That must have sucked.

I made it but took two beer breaks! As a 2011 driver I'm jealous but hey my relationship with my Jeep is love hate and I'm cool with it.
I dig the triple silver congrats!
