Rubicon owners get real triggered when you put decals on your hood. They paid an extra $15,000 for those hood stickers and if you ain't rockin a Rubicon at the mall you ain't special like them. lol in all seriousness it's your Jeep you do whatever the hell you want with it.
I tried the Rubi springs for about 2 weeks and then swapped out the stock Max Tow rear springs and have been on those for a couple of weeks. The max tow springs do feel a bit stiffer, but when I had them out side by side they were the exact same height unsprung next to each other. My guess is...
You weren't routinely getting a wheel in the air either. These LSD systems have clutch pads and they do wear out. Once they do you basically have a open diff.
You're doing the build through the Jeep web page. That's all MSRP. You have to go to a dealer and negotiate with them. There's a trade in if you have one, cash rebates, etc. When I built one through the Jeep page it came out to $46000. I found a Sport S at a dealer for $42 and got it down to...
Truth is if someone wants to buy a Rubicon and slap 22in wheels on it and a bunch of lights just to be a show Jeep then by all means they should go for it. Everybody has their own likes and dislikes and nobody should ever tell someone else they are wrong for what they like. Now we all have...
Honestly man it's your Jeep and you can do whatever the hell you want to do with it. It's none of my business or anyone ele's. If you can afford Dana 60s and 40s then good for you man go for it!
As far as getting a Rubicon vs a Max Tow I will say this. I have the Max Tow because I couldn't...
Another update. Swapped the rear Rubicon Springs for the Max Tow springs over the weekend. Nothing changed on the front. I can notice a difference in the ride quality with the max tow springs back in the rear. The "Floaty" feel is gone. When I compared both springs side by side I could not...
Just wanted to update with a couple of photos. I went ahead and put the Rubicon springs on all the way around. Did some lite wheeling this weekend and it did fine, but I do notice a "Squishy" feel when going over dips or general driving around town. I am thinking about swapping back in the rear...
The Max Tow is now coming with the Tru Trac or whatever it is, but it's just something you have to service every 30k miles. I've never felt under equipped not having lockers on the JK or my new JT. The BLD system does a pretty decent job when you get a wheel in the air and even friends of mine...
My opinion, Take your Jeep off road and see what it can do before you through things like lockers at it. A modest lift and good tires will get you through 99% of the situations you get into. Your driving ability and the line you take factor in as well. I had a friend who had a Rubicon JK and I...
I always laugh a little when people complain about vehicles being made out of aluminum. As an aircraft mechanic aluminum and composites are pretty much all you ever see. It's pretty strong when build right. It has it's drawbacks for sure, but saving weight is a good thing. Of course the first...
I don't like mixing politics with my Jeep stuff because it turns people who would normally be friends into enemies. All I will say is we need term limits BAD! These people like McConnel and Pelosi that hold these positions of power for 30+ years making millions off of special interest groups...
