I've been told a Rubicon won't shift into overdrive (7&8) in low range. What's the fastest a JL Rubicon will go in low range? A crawler I talked to said it's a PITA to stop and shift into high range after you crawl over an obstacle and you've got half a mile or more of 2 WD type dirt road and want to go 35 MPH.
In the good old days of manual hubs and xfer cases, the year was 1977. I was poor and my friend was poor. His parents divorced and his mom bought him a new dodge 4x4 truck with a V8 and automatic. The rich kid in the school had a new CJ with a stick. Rich kid was constantly making fun of the Dodge, so I challenged him to a light to light drag race. The entire school came out expecting to CJ to blow away the truck, but the opposite happened. I had my friend put it in low range and the fast shifting automatic combined with low gears blew away the CJ.
