2010 JK vs. 2012 JK
I own a '12 JK 4dr rubicon with 3" lift, 35's and 4:10 with auto tranny. My buddy lent me his '10 JK Sahara, no lift, bigger tires (285-75-18), gearing? auto tranny. His is a pig. I was amazed at how much less power his has over mine. And, the GY duratracs....... He just had his tires rebalanced, says he does about once a year and they still felt uneven. They are definitely louder than and ride worse than the Nitto Trail Grapplers I am running. Just thought I would post a quick head to head comparison (as close as can be anyway).

I have a 2010 sport 6spd riding on 285/70R17 GY duratracs. Jeep is very slow, tires are very quiet. As for your friend he has to keep rebalancing his tires 
hate to bust your bubble but somebody somewhere does not know what they are doing. Tires or tire are probably warped or the person who is doing the balancing doesn't know how either way somebody should have figured something out.

I actually don't mind the 3.8 to bad. It's not fast. Or ultra powerful. But for daily driving its great and I'm getting close to 20 mpg consistently. But I'm also bone stock when it comes to tires an suspension. So I assume once I go bigger that'll change. But for now I'm enjoying the $50 fill from the gas light.

Envious, but bookmarking this thread for the day we hear about his warranty just expiring and the head decides to take a dump on the very same day on the 3.6.
