Thank you! Sprintex is also making a Stage 2 upgrade for the system, I'm not sure what the details are but I expect it'll give the system even more power.

My .2. Take it as you will.
Is this a forum for Off-roading men and women, or a bunch of sissy teenagers who need to change their tampons?! Seriously, there are too many babies. RIPP is just one of many COMPETITORS. They have every right to jab. Doesn't Chevrolet and Ford mother fk each other? Everything from what vehicle is better to what toilet paper company wont fall apart when wiping your ass! Seriously.

I think that answers your question.

... So maybe a Sprintex with 35" tires and 3.21 gears on a 6 speed 2 door will be a better investment than 4.56's and a stock motor! It reminds me of Racing my old big block Buicks with 2.88's!

I have been driving my 2010 JKUR with 4:88 gears with the addition of the Sprintex SC for about a month now. It still surprises me. The low end power is simply instantaneous. It is so nice to climb steep grades in the mountains without flogging it to death.

I was going to order a 2013 but decided to give the SC a try. I have quite a few mods, and now I can really enjoy this rig for more years. It is giving me what I want for my purposes. From my seat-of-pants comparison and from others who have driven both, it pulls at least as good as the 3.6, and i really think better.

On the other hand, i enjoyed building out my rig so much, I know I will want to do another build in the not to distant future. In the meantime, the SC has removed my only nagging complaint about this Jeep. MORE POWER.

I have only tried the cruise control momentarily and it was fine. I will be putting a few hundred miles on it in the mountains this w/e. I will more fully test CC then.

I have had no issues, no codes, no problems at all. I am truly enjoying it.

At first the whistling at idle bothered me a bit, but the SC whine more that makes up for that!

Here are a few snaps for you.

Thanks for the pictures. Very clean install, I need more power and for the money that looks very promising. Please keep me (us) updated after this weekend I am very interested in your thoughts and feelings on the s/c.
