Looking at the photo you have attached.... Man... I just do not think your going to love a Rubicon T-Case. The picture shows you on a steep rock climb, lots of moisture and slick looking rock, judicial application of gross horsepower and plenty of resulting tire speed to churn and burn your way onto that rock. Go re-do that with your Rubicon case and your going to drop a ton of tire speed and maybe not make that climb nearly as easily. My vote is hang with the sport case you have until you can swing for an Atlas that has gearing similar to both the low range you have now as well as another option for the 4 or 5 to one gearing. THat photo right there would have me skeered to heck of a Rubicon case.

F that. The way your wheeling, you need rubber burning and your balls fully out on display. I would be filling my JK seat with little shit balls if I was on that rock. There would be some clean up needed on isle 5!

 

I've been wheeling a 2012 3.6L Auto since I bought it in 12 with the non-Rubi case. I did a swap late last year to a Rubicon case, and won't refute what everyone has said thus far. One of the benefits not listed that I expect to find the most appealing post swap is not having to do the gas to brake quick foot dance as often when coming off large rocks, downhills, or off ledges.

When I ordered the case, I planned on keeping my PR44 front, and had no desire to do a front dig. Economically the Rubi case made the most sense. Now that I've ordered a 60 FR, I wonder if I made the right decision. The Atlas may have been a better choice.

Before you do the install, get yourself a flex head ratchet wrench. You will hate life if you don't. Ask my knuckles how I know!

 

Not sure why going to a 60 front will make a difference.

 

I'd have more confidence in pulling a front dig with an ATLAS if the need / occasion arose. It's not something I would have tried in my PR44.

 

Its also been my experience that the Rubi TC is geared too low for the average wheeler. There is a reason it is called the Rok-Trac.. Designed for very slow maneuvers while rock crawling.. If you wheel in mud and snow the Rubi TC is just geared too low to get the required wheel speed..

 

Can you start it in 4-lo without the clutch like the Rubi now??
