Are they not standard on the Hard Rock?

I am not sure. I know that for the regular Rubicons they started putting in the 3.73 gears in 2012 and that ordering it from the factory is the only way to get them. It is a nice thing to have if you are planning on going straight to 35in tires. If i were you i would juat look into it. What do you plan in doing with your jeep?

I think if you get the auto you have the option to pick between 4.1 or 3.73....

But awesome choice for your first wrangler and congrats!!

Unless this changed from the 2013 models, 4.10 is not standard on Rubi's. Just ask my friend who custom ordered a 10A Rubi and how Chrysler had to stop the Jeep on the production line to put in the 4.10s

I found out the hard way on 2012 Ruibicons. It was the first year 3.73 were used. I didn't even think about it but noticed it on the sticker after purchase...

Well no shit, I ordered my 2012. I don't discussion on gearing, but I do have a 6 speed.

Congrats on the jeep. I had the dealership double check mine had 4.10s before going to look at it. Double checked with jeep as well.

Ask for the Mopar half doors instead of the full. You'll thank me later.

(And just in case you end up hating them, you can always trade them with someone who has full doors and probably get some cash out of it too)

Waiting on a call back from dealer, but I'm pretty sure I got the 4.10. Since this is my first Wrangler, I'd like to weekend warrior some off-road trails in Illinois and Indiana. With a goal of taking on the Rubicon Trail one day...

I'm not entirely sold on the halfies...how are they with wind/road noise? Was thinking maybe for the warmer months I'd get the Aries Tubular Doors.

As others have said, the 4:10 gears are an upgrade with the auto trans (~$500) on the Rubicon, Stock with the Manual.
