I’ve heard those first gen Mazda Miata’s are a hoot and can auto-x with the best of them....more agile/peppy and fun to drive around city...
Can anyone share some suggestions.

Re-gear.Everyone, I have this six speed manual transmission TJ Rubicon and I am trying to figure out what should I do make it more agile/peppy and fun to drive around city and see me freeway as in daily driver.
For some reason I am finding it's not up to the task and I am not sure what is wrong.
Whether it's the 6 gear or the rubicon gear ratio or the lift and wider tire are the issue?
Prior to this I had a 5 speed manual TJ Sahara mostly stock but it was much much more fun and enjoyable but sold it due to lots of issues with it's rust.
Can anyone share some experience and suggestions.
It's running on 33x12.5 Falken wildpeak with some Pro Comp wheel. Bilstein shocks and some Red color springs brand unknown to me. It has 3-4 inch lift not sure exactly how much.
It has an ARB tire carrier gate and heavy duty rear bumper and also some very good quality front bumper. It also has a winch and center mounted pod lights. Any suggestions for how to make it agile without breaking bank.

Careful. I’ve seen that in-depth journalistic review how Jeep’s can roll... if you really try hard enough!I'd like to take my TJ out on one just for fun.
I would like to keep it stock. For sale every damn accessory other than Ridgid light pods.Re-gear.
or
Put it back to stock and remove the heavy rear bumper and winch. Sell parts. Profit.
Put up a wanted thread on this site asking for stock coil springs and shocks. Just gather all the stock suspension components and put it back when you have them all. Then switch down to a 31, maybe even on those current wheels and sell the parts.I would like to keep it stock. For sale every damn accessory other than Ridgid light pods.
Love at first sightSometimes less is more! If off roading mods are not for off roading then it becomes just for looks/styling preference.
"All fur coat and no knickers" if you will.
Already thought about it but I kinda want to stock with SUV given that everyone is putting lights in eyes and it becomes hard to drive in a low to the ground car. Just personal opinion.Sell it and buy a Miata.
I’ve got some Rubicon LJ, err UnLimited, springs.Put up a wanted thread on this site asking for stock coil springs and shocks. Just gather all the stock suspension components and put it back when you have them all. Then switch down to a 31, maybe even on those current wheels and sell the parts.
It will take time and effort, but you may end up making some money back.

That's what I'm saying. If he asked around here he would have some stock components for cheap or free if he pays shipping. Then he would have no excuse not to return to stock height. It will drive the way he wants, it just won't LOOK like it currently does.I’ve got some Rubicon LJ, err UnLimited, springs.
Someone told me it's 400lbs not sure if he meant with tire on or just bumper and tire carrierTake it from someone who has been down this path before, weight makes a massive difference on these things. That rear bumper looks unnecessarily heavy
Ya I don't want to go around town and show off hey I'm riding higher.That's what I'm saying. If he asked around here he would have some stock components for cheap or free if he pays shipping.

But who cares, he wants it to drive like his other Jeep he said that was stock.
