Anyone drive a 2012 JK 2 Door with 6 speed MANUAL and 4.11
Curious how it handles. Seems most of the review on 2012 I have seen are for the JKUs and/or ones with the 5 speed Auto.
Thanks.
Thinking about ordering a Stock '12 JK Rubicon with no options.

Well, I have the 2012 JKU, but it's a manual with 4.1's, and it has got quite a bit of pep. The 2 door should be a blast to drive in that setup. I actually might swing back by the dealer once they get some of their regular stock in to give one a whirl.

Yes, I test drove a 2012 2 door rubicon with a 6 speed last weekend. I drive a 2010 2 door sport with 3.73s and a 6 speed for comparison. The difference was quite noticable. I drove it on a 6 mile hilly loop with stop and go traffic and speeds up to 50 mph. I could really feel the difference in low end grunt. Sounded good too.

I drove a 2dr manual sport 2012 and it felt amazing!! I currently have a 2010 unlimited auto and that may be the reason I thought it was bad ass but either way it felt awesome. I love the comfort of the auto cause I have drive manual all my life but man that 2dr set up makes me want to trade mine in
