and what are the "lockers" for?- yes im a newb.but im willing to learn!
just wondering...since the jeep is geared for torque, can you take off on 2-3rd gear?
Does any1 have any numbers or Gears and Speeds? or does it go by rpm? ...i should find a "Standard for dummies book" lol
Example:
Gears
1 1-5 mph
2 1-10
3 10-25
4 25-45
5 45- 60
6 60-80

Hey man...I have never owned a standard before I bought my JK less than 3 weeks ago. I have driven a friend of mines honda accord 5 speed twice cause I had too and my x-girlfriends like 93 mazda 3 a couple of times years back...other than that the only time I have driven a standard was when I test drove jeeps. Though I havent driven many...I will go ahead and say that it is one of the easiest I have ever driven. Like I said first one I have ever owned...I have no problem taking off from second, I have not tried third. As for when to shift. That is prefrence I go by RPMs usually around 2500 or 3000 I shift up. If you have to stop and then accelerate immedeatly(ie rounding corners, traffic) a good rule of thumb is if you are right around 20 mph hit second to take back of, Id say 25 to about 32 or so hit 3rd. just pay attention to your RPMs. When you go from 5th to 6th it is easy to hit 4th...just go to an empty parking lot and driver her around find some not so busy streets and practice taking off from hills. You will get the hang of it quick...I did! Hope that helped you a little?

I never say go with the Auto, but in this case ,go with the Auto. Me and many others are having problems with the 6 speeds, and I wish I could just turn back the clock and get the Auto now. So do it right the first time. Besides, it's easier and more controlled offroad with the Auto, even though the 6 speed isn't too bad either with the Rubicon package.
WEll i have a couple of Questions
Standard or Automatic?
Normally this would be a question of MPG, but thats not the matter on this one
I'd like to know how the Standard and Automatic Handle with 35" tires, and which one do you guys reccomend for 3" lifted unlimited and 35"s
im going to stay with 4.10 gears so ill want wahts best for my control/mpg etc etc over all mpg & power
---------------------
Color, i have 3 Colors im stuck with and obiously i cant have em all
RedRock - White - And Black
I havent heard much about the RedRock but just on white, i keep hearing that you cant keep white or black clean for more than 10 minutes, not that i dont plant to get it nice and muddy but if im going somewhere nice or i just wanna show off my colors i'd like it to be clean
so what can you guys tell me about them?
One sure thing i Do know about black is...Heat....
ooh, an does any1 have pictures of the interior
Dark Slate Gray/Medium Slate Gray And Dark Khaki/Medium Khaki Seats - What color would the Dashboard be?
