looking for any info on swapping in a automatic tranny in my ruby, has anyone done it and what did it take to do it? will my transfer case work? computer? interior trim? any info would be appreciated.

 

Definitely would need a flash, and a console because the shifters are different. If you switch to Auto get a rubicrawler thrown in on that deal as well

 

maybe I am having a blonde moment but what is a rubicrawler?

 

The rubicrawler allows you to toggle between an additional hi and low range gear selector (you have an extra shifter located next to the 4wd shifter). You can run hi or low in 2 wheel drive, in 4 hi put the rubicrawler in low to have a 2:72 1 low range, in 4 low put the rubicrawler in low for a 7:40 1 low range. I really like the versatility and the quality of the gear box. Anyone familiar with Advanced Adapters knows they make nice stuff. I installed one in my 07 last year and have never looked back, Just my opinion......

Just an opinion, but I'd rather spend 2k on an Atlas than $1600 on an add-on that stuffs in the back of the stock t-case.

 

Here are a few pics of my rubicrawler install

 

One of the bennifits of a rubicrawler is no need to have a drive shaft made because the rear housing of the tranny that is removed is exactly the same length of the rubicrawler. Dont get me wrong an Atlas is a nice set up as well.....for me this was a good choice.
