Love my TJ sport. I almost bought a Rubi but didn't think they were worth the extra for the 44 front axle, lockers, and 4:1. I don't get to wheel nearly as much as i want so those options would have given me a ROI and i've never needed them(yet). Not sure when i'll get lockers now as i walk though/over obstacles with half the problems many Rubi's have. A lot of the Jeeps capabilities is due to drivers skill, many Rubi owners around here are city types that can't drive and just assume that little button is all they need to gt over something. i normally suggest 1st time TJ owners get a sport or X so they can get used to driving without lockers so they pick their lines better.
BTW Rubi's are great as any Jeep they just have more so they cost more....i won't buy a JK just because of the engine.... :mad:
