Re: Rubicon question
I've heard that before too but I can't imagine how it would do that unless
there is some kind of sensor, I'd guess a GPS module.

Re: Rubicon question
No, the Rubicon has no way to self-calibrate its own speedometer. The
dealer must reflash the computer but I don't think they have a way to
reflash for any tire as large as 35".
And the Rubicon's performance with its 4.10 axle ratio with 35" tires
and the 5-speed or 6-speed tranny would absolutely suck big-time.
Performance would not be so bad with that combination if it had an
automatic though.
