I have earned 0 out of 5 stars in off-roading, so i'll probably end up with a Rubicon after a short lease. I like the "most stuff is already done" for the build.I would run trails in 4 low and just run in 4th on my sport JK when we were on the 2 track and slow down to 1st or second when there was some technical stuff or hills and I didnt have any problems. I am going with a rubicon for my JT because a lot that I would want to change is already done. I'm still building my off-roading skills (track days and drifting dont translate well when going over logs and rocks) and slow and steady works great for me. Bring on that 4 to 1, I have no problem using the "select speed" button or bumping it up a few gears to drive down the trails.
I with @homerun I also recall reading that the RockTrac is beefed up compared to the command track, though I dont remember what exactly the changes are.
At the end of the day, it depends on what kind of off-roading you want to do and how good you are at it. Mel is a pretty good driver from what ive watched him do in videos and KOH, carrying more speed is probably just fine for him. I think there is no problem with using the 4.1 to do the same stuff.
As always, thanks for the help @Malarkey21 and @homerun
