Default Any opinions on RubiCrawler product (or reduction kits in general)

I used to have a reduction kit on my previous rig (Toyota Hilux, in Europe) and the feel of super slow crawling was awesome. You could literally throw it in first gear, step out of the car and it will crawl up by itself, inch by inch... Is it worth installing on an automatic Rubicon ? Anyone has it and can share experience ?

Thank God. For a second I thought this was another question about lowering springs.

This is an option for 2007 thru 2011 JKs or JKUs. There is no option for 2012 JKs or JKUs. I don't have one but have done a fair bit of research and talked to several folks that do have them.

As a quick summary, most people love them who have them. Some question the need for a final crawl ratio that is that low. One guy with D60s noted that he is shearing lug nuts when climbing some ledges and the tire binds. Some say just go for an Atlas 4 Speed.
