My Rubicon is my daily and I'm more then happy.
It's quieter then my WH
Smoother then my WH
Uses about the same fuel (13.5) around town on the stock 32" BFG's (had 32's on the WH)
Running ULP (no e10)

I use mine as daily, no big problem that i can think of. The KM2 are abit
noisy on the highway. Handling is mostly fine as stock. Steering gets a bit wondering when speed goes above 90. I recently swap out the front lower control arms with the ones that are slightly longer to help with the caster angle.

1" spacer lift with fox 2.5, mopar lower control arm, stock tyre and rim

Ive got a new Gladiator Rubicon with 2" lift and 33" low profile Yokahama muddies on it.

I find it jumps around a bit on the highway when depressions and potholes are encountered, its easy to end up with a side to side porpose and one needs to ensure that elbows are resting on centre console and door to help overcome the tendency to overcorrect with steering inputs...failure to do this can result in a dramatic increase in the swaying such that it would be fairly easy to lose control of the car at high speed.

To illustrate, on my first 3000km trip away, I hit a raised section on the side of a pothole at 110km/hr (it was nighttime and I didn't have time to avoid it completely)...the car jumped sideways about 1m into the lane next to me before I could do anything to stop it. I was lucky no vehicle was there at the time, I would have sideswiped them with a big hit for sure.

It drives very differently and with a very different skillset to any other 4wd's I've owned (Brumby, Hilux, 105 and 200 series Cruisers)

What lift do you have? Something isn’t right with it, my JL has 3” lift and
drives brilliantly on all roads.
If you have ever driven in central QLD you will understand how rough
my local roads are. On the stock suspension I was hitting the bumpstops
on the highway.

I daily commute with it. Since its a leased company car, I can't do anything except than swapping on more aggressive tire threads.
Total waste of money and capabilities.
