Obviously didn't have 4.10 gears then because mine gets going just fine, off the light, or on an interstate acceleration ramp. I can run in traffic or on the highway with anyone in my 2012 Rubicon. Made my 2011 Rubicon feel like it was pulling trailer all the time compared to the 2012.

Yes, Hoyte is top notch. There's a Jeep dealer here in Waco (20 miles away from me) that I drive by to get to Hoyte (200 miles away from me).

Around 16 to 16.5 mpg. But then these tires I use easilly cost 2 mpg by themselves. For comparison, same tires/wheels on the 2011 Rubicon... I only got around 14.5 mpg average. So clearly 2 mpg better. I also hear that the 3.6L needs about 5,000 miles to get broken in also, so perhaps better to come. I have a habit of driving 80+ mph on the roads, so my driving habits do not help.

I would rather see other significant changes to wranglers. a small increase in hp doesn't get it for me..
try...way better shocks, ball joints, an up graded front axle that dosent need gussets/sleeves and adj track bars...
the hp is just not enough. !!!

Confirmed. Rugged Ridge XHD front and rear bumpers do fit the 2012. I'm at the dealer now and they just completed transferring the bumpers over from my '08 Sport. I was told there were no problems but the front took them longer than expected. Don't know what they did, if anything to get the front bumper to fit but it's on and getting lots of attention around the shop right now. Waiting for the protection package to be installed and will be out of here! Woohoo!
