JT testing on the RUBICON

[jeepncrowd]

Looking at the first and second pictures. I think they may be two different mules. Possibly different engines or one Rubicon version? The tires are different and the camo wrap looks much dirtier and looser fitting around the bed on the first than the second one. The driver front door wrap has some sort of white pattern as well on the second one that's not on the first.

Well, one has a DOT number on the side and the other doesn't.

The bumper does appear like it was caught on a rock.

Or someone tried to stop it by grabbing the bumper.

They used it to tow out a Hummer

JK interior still.

I've gotta say those images are disheartening...especially the tub and rear overhang/departure.
That "appears" terrible, I would go so far to say if it came to market like that in Aust, it would probably rank worst in class for that spec....which would go 100% against the market they would be trying to attain here!

This is not going to be a crawler in my opinion. That’s what the unlimited is for. This is a run around town do it all work truck in my opinion. But, has a little more off-road capability’s than most. It’s not desert runner or anything.

Exactly. More for overlanding and driving easy to moderate off road trails be it open desert or mountain passes. No need for an off road trailer as it can hold a lot of gear.

This is not a hard core rock crawler.

By the very nature of what it is, the JT is not meant to be excellent at any one thing but likely will be good at almost everything.

Accept it for what it is or you are probably not looking at the right vehicle for your needs.

Yep this is more for the Overland market. Hell most of us on this forum are looking for something for Overlanding and not rock crawling. If I wanted a crawler I would be looking at 2 door JLs. Even the 4 door Unlimited is a little too large.

I took this picture of the trucks just coming off of the Rubicon Trail. This was in Tahoe City on Aug 8th.

I just love that military look they give of already. I believe this is the first time I've seen a photo of three of them together also

Ok time for everyone with good eyes to start picking them apart I can see #1 far left has the same rims as #3 and to me it looks like there front fenders are wider then #2 it looks like #1 & #2 have hitches on the back I see something on #4 but can't till if it's a hitch or not it looks to me as if all 3 of them are hard tops just by looking at the back glass

Where they in a group with any other vehicles? Like a TRD Tacoma or ZR2? I'm curious if they are cross testing them with competitive pickups.
