JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Automatic rubicon, any regrets?

Well I test drove a black ops edition rubi with auto and that seals the deal. I'm ordering my rubi in auto.

It's very smooth on the road and despite what ppl say about it being sluggish I was quite surprised. It's not a race car so you can't expect it to go from 0-60 in 4 seconds

I hammered down on the hwy on ramp and didn't think it was slow.

Also the drivability of an auto is a lot smoother. City driving was a breeze.

They are talking about it being sluggish in high winds, and steep/long hills at Hyw speeds. It's has no problems with power when your wheeling even on hills.

I have a 2.5 lift and my buddy just did a zones 3". Neither of us have had to swap any drive shafts. Both automatic.

If you must get an auto at least hold out until chrysler comes out with a more powerful engine and better transmission. If you cant wait get a manual.
