Could call it the JT"I wanted the 4:10 but would rather put the money I saved from the Rubicon into buying a lift kit, steel bumper, winch, rock rails, M/Ts, tube doors, decked out overland rack, murder spork, insane amounts of light bars, and a metric shit ton of stickers." ?

The Rubicon trim level is named for the trail in California, not after a river in Italy. I don’t care if the name originated somewhere else. Pretty much every word originated somewhere else.
But the point of the Rubicon name, is indicating "no turning back", which applied first to Julius Caesar, then a challenging trail in California, and finally to a maximum off-road-equipped Jeep, capable of taking on that trail.

You couldn't expect us not to turn a perfectly innocent topic into an argument, could you? It wouldn't be the internet.
While we are arguing, may I point out the the Overland name comes, not from the practise of "overlanding", but from the Willys-Overland Motor Company, the original builder of the WWII Jeep.

If FCA didn't give it a 'model' name we shouldn't either. Nonsense.? There is only one model, the JT, that's it. Everything else is simply an option package. Let's avoid the 'award everyone a medal' mentality here......
Then Mojave is one hell of an option package! I wonder if the dealer would sell me the frame, etc........
