So, I've been looking at getting some kind of JK Rubicant. Probably all 100k+ miles because less costs too much.

The ones that are cheap have the NSG370 but they all come with 4.10s as far as I can tell.

I've driven a couple. The little 3.6L seems snappy until you get to 4th gear, even in a 4 door.

Getting into 6th is a slapstick comedy/riot, but doable.

It seems kind of clunky but still better than most "truck" transmissions.

All of them with the manual, 2 door or 4 door, seem to get cheap at the 150k mark. Is that an indicator that their life is doomed?

How well do they hold up?
