Thoroughly Confused
Sup fellas, I've been doing my research on which JK will be the best match for me and I fully believe the Rubi would be the best fit. That said, the Rubi may not be the best for my budget when it comes time to make a purchase.
So here is my dilemma as well as the source of my confusion. I was under the impression that all 4 door JK models that were automatic 4x4's were equipped with a limited slip diffs and 3.73 axle ratios and the same model Rubis are equipped with limited slip diffs with eLockers and 4.10 axle ratio gearing.
In my search for the best deal for me I have come across a new 2011 4x4 Sport equipped with a few creature comforts that I want at a bangin price. BUT, the dealers ad states that it has 3.21 axles.... Is this correct?
I didn't even think that this was an option... If so, I guess I can now see why the price is so good.
Any help on the rundown and specs of the various models would be GREATLY appreciated.

Crud.. Now I'm even more confused.
Wait, it has open diffs, but Electronic Traction Control correct? Which basically acts the same as a limited slip except it uses the ABS system to apply the stoppage to one side, right?
