[QUOTE="Steve@TF, post: 16422571, member: 40308"] most of my offroading has been in big bear area. i love cleghorn! hit up Rob at Coastline Jeep in San Juan Capistrano. people on JL forum seem to have received great deals with him. stay away from 18/19 turbos. they have the hybrid system. it still comes on the Saharas for 20 but the sports and rubis they dropped the hybrid system. way too much crap going on under the jeep. cooling lines etc.. the turbo sounds great for the wrangler. id just be concerned about long term as i plan to keep mine (unless i get a rubi, but it will be a v6). i have a muffler delete on my v6, it sounds great! not sure how good a 4 banger would sound lol. surprisingly, everyone local i know who has bought a JL and/or met on the trails, all have V6s. which is weird because the dealers are really pushing the 2.0. they have few V6s in inventory usually. the gearing isnt bad due to the awesome 8spd trans. we test drove a 3.73 JK back to back with a JL sport with 3.45s. both autos. night and day difference. the JK felt like a dog compared to the JL. even though it was a few thousand more, my wife said "we're getting the new one". lol. the manual trans struggles with bigger tires. even the 4.10 rubis. the sport with manual trans on 35s is a dog, so people say. with the 8spd its barely noticeable difference. i had my sport on rubi suspension on rubi 33s for about a year. rode and drove awesome. but not high enough to clear obstacles as much as id like. and if you raise the jeep even more, the 33s look too small lol. 35s are the sweet spot on the JLs.
