Title: Major differences......
Post by: So-Bad-Im-Good on February 11, 2009, 08:57:07 PM
Can someone please tell me the major differences between a Rubi and a Wrangler? I have a guy interested in my Wrangler so I have been looking at Rubi the same year but is about 2 grand higher.Just curious as to why such a difference?                                                                      Thank You
                                                                                         Jon

Thanks Jimmy,so I guess the 2 grand difference is worth it.The Rubi I am looking at has 325/70x16 tires and 1.5 spacers and a small body lift.Pro comp shocks,for a price of $12,500.

Post some photos dude.

I would jump on this in a heart beat.  You will be $$$$ ahead to go with  the Rubicon and that price is unbelievably low....

speaking from experience.......

YOU AINT OUT WHEELED SH*T!!! Its hard to make this claim when you don't need lockers on BYPASSES!!! You got me on "1" obstacle and you think you X out wheels?  {ehm} Ok, Tellico it is! We will see how you out wheel you pole smoker!!LOL!!! {toast} I will bring the spirits and food and won't charge you, I will even cover your trail fee for 2 days. What you got to wager? I am thinking Late April, early May. So if thats the case, get off the TIT and lets test this "out Wheeled sh*t"!!!! Ben, chime in!!!

All the locker jokes aside if you get Rubicon you won't believe the change. I went from an 07 X on 35's that did quite a bit already and traded it for the Rubicon. I 100% believe with 35's on the Rubi I could well outwheel my X any day. Lockers and the 4:1 make a huge difference

Just got home from going to look at Rubi.After driving 4 1/2 hours to Brewton Al.to look at so called "rubi in A1  shape" I found a very ragged Wrangler with Rubi decals,broken windshield,Tranny that slipped when put in gear,Pics used in ad were not of the Jeep being sold.It was a 2005 with 45,000 plus miles,4 banger,no lockers,and no mods that I could find.So I will just spend some $$ on my Wrangler to up grade it.

PS... It was hard not to slap the guy who placed this piece of shit up for sale.
