FInd me a manual transmission shifter that doesn't have some play in it. Again, my brother's ZL1 has it too, but when left alone, the JL has no vibration whatsoever, at any speed. Can't say that for his ZL1. My Jk's shifter shakes like a chihuahua with a nervous system disorder.
Sorry, I didn't read about the ZL1 in a magazine. I've driven it plenty. I did stall it once, though, unlike the JL. Where the ZL1's clutch comes into it's own is when you unleash the beast and put the power down. Then, I'd agree with you . In normal relaxed every day driving, however, it has no better feel than the JL. In fact I found itbharder to modulate on gentle acceleration from a dead stop. Why normal driving in a ZL1, you may ask? Because every cop in our town is watching and they know who it is.
Wrong. Not with the Rubi, anyway, with 4.10 diffs. and an 84:1 crawl ratio in low range. It is nearly effortless.
Sean, Bridgestone dueler a/t tires on these Jeeps are all season tires, even says so on the Bridgestone website for this model tire. Just because the sidewall says "a/t" doesn't mean it's an all terrain tire.
I'll agree with @DanW. I took my Rubi on a cross country wheeling tour last year; nearly 5 months long. I wheeled Colorado, MOAB, Big Bear, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota. I did this all stock and my 6-speed was phenomenal. The control you have is great and you'll grow to appreciate an easy clutch and cable shifter when you're sitting at a 30-40 degree incline or decline. For those who really do wheel their machines will greatly appreciate the feel, especially when you're pushing the clutch in 100 times over 3 miles on the trail. (arbitrary, obviously)
There are two different Dueler tires offered on the wrangler, the HT and the AT. It is all season due to the siping on the tread. Pretty much all of your all terrain tires will also be listed as All Season, as they are in fact all season tires and suitable for year round driving.Sean, Bridgestone dueler a/t tires on these Jeeps are all season tires, even says so on the Bridgestone website for this model tire.

I really think Jeep falsely advertised these as "all terrain" on the online build tool.
And yes I was expecting ko2 tires because that's what you got on the jk when you selected the all terrain tire upgrade.
They list all of their Dueler tires as off road tires. What specific option did you get, the upgraded wheels or the limited slip diff? I'm not even sure based off of your description that we're even talking about the same tire now...
