You should have a crying towel handy, those JK's will surprise you. Are you seeing who can drag who across the parking lot?

4 low, low gear, you should get him since the torque curve will have you pulling harder sooner

What transfercase do you have? Do you know what your gearing is? Are you stock? All important things to know.

That engine is rated 210 hp 235 ft. lbs torque. Your engine is rated at 190 hp 225 ft. lbs of torque.

So that I understand you correctly, you and your manager are going to do a head to head pushing contest?

Another thing to consider, you push too hard you might just make your air bags go off.

If he has a rubi keep in mind he has 4.10s, lockers front and rear and a 4.1 t-case. Good luck you'll need it. Hope you didn't put any money on it.

Either way he is out gunned and if he uses his 4lo he stands a really good chance of blowing up his transfercase.
