Re: New Jeep
So to be safe, should one stick to 1st, 2nd and 3rd when in 4LO?

Re: New Jeep
Love my rubi,
i have to concur with the others about the gearing for this neck of the
north woods (WI)...more mud than rocks which renders the 4LO sometimes
useless, which i learned early the difference of a 4:1.
I love the high back seats, but i am 6'2", so they work great for me. i am
mechanically impaired, so i like some of the items the rubicon has to offer
that would not be on my to do list. i did however put a lift on and all
went relatively well. i use mine as a daily driver and with a 4" lift and
33's it rides well (one good thing about the gearing for me).
