Stu,
Your comments are spot on and probably thats why the Rubicon ended up as a smattering of stuff rather than a dedicated trail ready Jeep.

Aron, thats really my point, they could have put a HP Reverse cut 30 in there just as easily but went for perceived brute strength instead which results in compromises. The HP D30 to me is way more elegant as you get the same strength without any ground clearance penalty plus an added benefit of the DS being up higher out of the rocks....... and all of this goes back to the original point of this whole thread - that the 30 (HP or even in my case, LP) will live quite nicely behind and Atlas or any 4:1 and in extreme wheeling environments There is a ton of "real world" engineering and trail experience on this board that says so.

No personal affront taken on this exchange - opinions are meant to be shared here.
