Default Best upgrades for Rubicon???

Funkdafied...when starting, it also helps to turn the key on for a minute or two before trying to start it. There is a heater on the carb. that will help it fire a little better. In warmer weather, you shouldn't have any trouble. Might have to use the choke once in a while.

Does anyone know how long it takes to install the Warn 424 kit on a Rubicon? Are any special tools needed?

i cant say about the 424 kit but the highlifter kit took about 2 hours. it was installed as a package deal that included the locker so it was out for longer than that. you have to take your front diff. loose and slide it as far forward as possible so the stock driveshaft will clear the output shaft from the tranny. its pretty time consuming and the bolts in the front diff are locktited from the factory so there pretty well in there. good luck

Thanks Rubidude!! I didn't know about the carb heater. I do use the choke, because it wouldn't start without it. Well I'm leaving to go pick up my filter and warn disconnect. Thanks again for everything guys. This is trully a good site! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

The Warn 424 takes about two hours to install by an average mechanic like me. It works great. Best option to add to the Rubicon, I think.
