Default 2014 JKU build

Okay. This will be my first post. Bought a 2014 JKU sport and the modding is about to begin. Waiting about 2 weeks for all parts to come in. I'll post pic's of stock now and then a follow up when all the mods are on.

Got a few things done finally. Emptied the wallet for now. Will need a regear next as my 5th and 6th gear basically disappeared. Any suggestions on best all around gear so I can still cruise 70 mph and occasionally off-road too?

This is pretty much what I've noticed most people go by:



From what I understand:

- Yellow is for mostly city/highway driving but struggles a bit with hills at highways speeds.
- Green is a middle ground for both on road and casual off road driving (optimizing both MPG and low-end torque but not necessarily crawling).
- Blue is for a mostly off-road driven vehicle with emphasis on low-end torque and crawl ratio.

I'm still new to this but this is pretty much the best description from I understand, but I may still be off.

That's awesome. Appreciate the explanation. Most likely going to go with 4.88 but I'm considering 4.56. We will see.
