Yep it's shameful that motor ever made it into a 2 ton vehicle.

Has anyone ever dealt with the dealership Papa's in New Britain CT? My local dealer (In Western Mass) is mostly concerned with telling me how I'm wrong for what I want/don't want in my JK and the 2012's wont be available until October/November. Just looking for some better dealerships near me that will actually listen and Papa's seems to be the largest.

If the new COD package is going to come with the Mopar front bumper, any chance the front springs will be more heavy duty to compensate for the bumper? If so, that might be a decent/cheap upgrade.

Default 3.21 vs. 3.73 Axle Ratio

I'm a newbie to these axle ratios. I thought I was getting 3.73 by ordering a Sahara Unlimited Automatic and the regular tow package but now it looks like that's not the case.

What differences would I see or feel between the 3.21 and 3.73 Sahara Unlimited Automatic on the highway and off-road?

Should I change my order to make it the 3.73 axle?

Slightly worse fuel efficiency, better acceleration, and better offroad. It'll be an all around more enjoyable gear ratio.
