Default Rubicrawler or Rubi T-case?

Thinking about upgrading the t-case in my Sahara. (2.72 now...)
Rubicrawler or junk-yard Rocktrac?

I wheel rocks, no mud here...

I'd lean toward the 'Crawler for the added versatility.

I looked seriously at both options and ended up going with the t-case. The deciding factor for me was the install time. The Rubi case went in the Jeep in about an hour. The rubicrawler takes about eight hours from what I have been told.

Teraflex installed my AA Rubicrawler in 6 hours. This was right after they came out and was the first one they installed. More ranges are better.

Sure an atlas would be fine, but I'd only be in a 2-speed at that price range.

I'd be installing this myself, so labor is free.

Love to hear from somebody who put the rubicrawler on a Rocktrac??? Is there that big of a difference... I got the numbers, but I mean on the trail.

An atlas would let me do front digs... But I'll probably never get bigger than 35's on this rig, so I doubt that would be of much value
