Exactly!!! For my use I can make my Max Tow so much better than a Rubicon for the same price. I do understand the ease of pulling the trigger at the dealer for the most capable off the shelf off-roader pickup IMOP, the Rubicon. I donāt want to ācopyā a Rubicon, I want something better for my use, for me. Now if only they put that Mojave reinforced frame on the Max Tow.
Itās amazing, thanks for starting this crazy thread.its become more than i could have possibly imagined
I swear, I donāt get people who say these Jeeps, ANY of them, have āno powerā. Do you have any experience at all actually driving high performance vehicles? And when I say driving, I mean DRIVING. Getting the maximum yield out of what they were designed to do. It is most assuredly NOT just about the power specs of the engine, but letās talk about the engine. The Pentastar 6 has 285 hp. Not that many years ago that kind of power would have been restricted to the highest performance models in any car line. The Mojave, the Rubicon, the Sport all have PLENTY of power to do what theyāre designed to, and then some. I live on a good old fashioned dirt road that I can see a long way on, and can safely blast the Mojave down every day coming from work, and Iām here to tell you, itās got more than enough power to get you in a boatload of trouble if you canāt drive, or if you donāt know how to catch it when that fun as hell drift is about to turn into swapping ends. Yes. This thing can drift and itās a frickin blast. I learned to drive in a ā68 Dodge Coronet 440 on a dirt road, and I lived to drift that barge. This Jeep? Itās every bit as good as that old Dodge was at drifting, and itāll climb rocks like a champ too. Would it be better with the 392? Probably not. Itād be different, but not better. Iāve got a Subaru BRZ, and am fortunate enough also to be able to drive a Scat Pack 392 Challenger whenever I want. That little 205 hp BRZ will eat the 485 hp Challenger alive on a tight road course, despite the Challenger also having the Dynamics package. In the 1/4 mile, well the outcome is more obvious. So, the point of this book here I reckon is, right tool for the right job, and these Jeeps have all the power they need and more, Mojave included. Itās more about the driver, and the right driver can make a Mojave dance like Gene Kelly when itās rainin.
Well my point is pretty much the fact that I donāt want a Rubicon. Many of us on here can afford a Rubicon, we just donāt want the Rubicon for our particular needs and use. I do like the Rubicon, Iāve owned one. I just want to build something better suited for my needs that IMOP is stronger and more reliable after the warranty is gone. Towing is one of those needs. You bring up a valid point and there are some very valid arguments as those pertain to your original post.
Oh yes, Iāve thrown those myself and the first time I wanted to remain standing to see if I was close to target.I mean this was just pot stirring at its best. Pull pin....release spoon....throw and watch.
Rubicon, no being a Troll on a Jeep Gladiator Forum when you own a Jeep Gladiator, well yes there is something wrong with that. IMOP of course.
