I am looking at purchasing my first Wrangler Unlimited, probably will have the dealer order it. I pull a small Uhaul trailer once a year and thinking of maybe buying a small pop up trailer in a couple years (maybe).
I can't decide if I really need the 3.73 rear axle or can stay with the standard axle. Does the 3.73 rear axle doing anything more than provide more low end torque and increase tow capacity to 3500lbs? Does it provide any benefit when four wheeling and does the MPG drop?
Also does the Anti-Spin differential keep the wheels from spinning only in four wheel drive mode or also in two wheel drive for the rear wheels? Is the anti-spin something I should get, I go to Colorado twice a year for a week in the summer and winter. I four wheel over some rocks about a foot high by a foot wide.
I can't seem to get a real good answer from the dealers in my area as to whether I need the 3.73 and anti-spin, but they order all there Jeeps with these two options.
Thanks for the help
