Default Atlas 2 vs Re-gear

I haven't seen a comparison between the two. I'd like to keep my mpgs of the 3.21 gear but have low crawl ability. Is this a good option?

What size tires and what are future plans? I swapped a 4:1 rubicon case for $450 and couldn't be happier

If your ok with your vehicles performance Id say its a good option. There is also the Rubicrawler that you might want to consider.

Is an Atlas ever a bad option?

Atlas told me that the one glitch is that for some reason you can not recalibrate your speedo when doing this mod. They said they had a one of their company 2012 wranglers with 3.21 running this set up and it worked well except for the speedo issue

where did you find a tc for $450? I have been looking with no luck. I have a 2013 auto and unfortunately 12-13 autos can only use tc from the 12-13 rubicons with autos. guys with sticks can use earlier years but not guys with autos.

Yes that is correct. RPM Offroad in Bristol was doing LS swap for customer. Wanted a 2:72 t case for the transmission they were using. I have a 2012 with 28K, his was a 2010 mall crawler with 15K miles and a brand new looking tcase compared to mine lol. So it was $450 plus my case

I know someone who had 3.21 gears in a 2012 and put in a Rubicon transfer case and was extremely happy with it before he re-geared for 37's. Got good mileage too.
