I think it's just you. If you knew what an 05 rubicon came stock with
you would shut your mouth; FYI, it came stock with 31's and 4.10. It
now has 33's with the same gearing. You sir are a real ---- sucker,

I´m going to start paying attention to my RPMs when I'm on the
highway. Right now I'm running 30 inch tires with 4.56 gears (up from
the original 4.10) and like it a lot. I plan to put 32 inch tires on
it next year. It will be interesting to see how it runs then.
