Say goodbye to my JK
« on: July 09, 2008, 10:21:20 PM »
Yep, been looking for a little while now. Tonight I traded in the JK as is (they are going to give me back the CB). It was a hard decision especially since I owed more than Blue Book but they managed to get within $2k of payoff.

What did I get?


























A 2007 4dr Rubicon with half doors, manual windows/locks, manual transmission, 4,600 miles, never been off road (and trust me after a good look over it hasn’t) and a great shape interior/exterior.  As much as I want to mod there was a strict agreement with megan… No mods for a LONG time unless I get them damn near free.

Sweet. What's funny is that you wanted some better 32" tires and a front locker and you got it plus more.

You're going to love that disconnect system and those lockers.  It's just so freaking convenient.  I guess congratulations are in order although I'm disappointed you're out of the two-door gang.  (I still have some extra parts if you break something offroad too.)

Mine is in the shop right now getting 5.13s.  On a related note they're having a little bit of problem getting the locker back in.  Apparently it has to be setup just so.  There's a little plunger that has to be set.  It's way above my head.  I'm a little worried, but they have to get it soon, right?

2 doors no more. I like the room, sure I will hate it first time I get hung up though... Lets us know how the Locker thing goes, I am really curious as to what is wrong.


On a side note, anyone care to break down for me how the E-locker and E-disco work? I know with the lockers you have to be in 4Lo but what else? Can I engage just 1? only both? and Disco not sure on it either. I got to whip out that fancy owners manual today and read!

And future plans... once the CC is paid off and Megan has her bedroom furniture then the plans are obvious... 37's  ;D

Nice Rubi.


I guess all your mods are going to be "free" from now on.

Nice ride!  (I'm jealous)  If it's like the 06 Rubi, push once to lock rear, twice to lock the front too.

Read the manual.  ;D  The switch for the lockers actually has a top and a bottom. Push the bottom once, you get rear. Push the bottom again, you get front and rear. Push the bottom again to go back to just rear. To disengage completely push the top and point it straight.

Unless you do the locker mod to fool the computer, lockers and e disco only work in 4 low under 18 mph.
