I'm guessing you'll wheel this one like your last jeep and if thats the case, then its exactly what you want. It's already locked front and rear, fully selectable and its geared great.
We took a bone stock one to Gilmer when I had my taco and it went almost everywhere we did. Only problem it had was dragging pumpkin, but if you're planning on 35's that won't be an issue.
That 4:1 t-case is awesome, and the thing is a beast.
If you buy a cj, you know you're gonna have to regear it, lockers, protection and all that good ****, might as well get a good jump start on it and have a warranty on the drivetrain.

Those trips to gilmer were great and it was fun not having to worry about potholes, speedbumps and curbs.
And people dinging your doors.

I loved not worrying about door dings in the Jeeps I owned, you couldn't ding em unless you were offroading hardcore.

well got my new Rubicon, pretty damn sweet deal too, came with sat radio and a list of extra goodies. Didn't go with the orange color, it was non-metaillic and looked like a crayon/pumpkin, ugly up close. Got the khaki instead, will post some pics later this evening.
