I sold the 95 YJ back in January. I missed off-roading and the forum... the worst was the 4th of July. So, I found an awesome deal on a Rubicon.  whistle

I have some small plans for the future, but for now, this thing rocks.





Happy to be back.

Congrats.  Honestly, if I was going to do it all over again, I'd probably get a Rubicon then just lift it and throw on some 33's and call it good.  Looks like the PO got a decent start.

great looking Rubi, tube fenders, heavy-duty bumpers, tires/wheels, lifted - what more can you ask for - good find, congrats.

only downside it has a 6 cyl with too much power rather than the reliable i4  wall - i vote for an engine swap immediately

Thanks for the comments!

I'd say it's 5 speed with 4.88's on 35's, its 10-12% lower speed has mopeds passing me. I vote for a moped swap.  blbl

Got bored and wanted to see the Rubi's flex. Found a bolder and I'm pretty happy. The front 3" bump stops are perfect; just need the right length rear bump stops (3"), coils, and shocks. Right now, the rear was hanging on the shocks from a TeraFlex bolt-on shock relocation bracket - contemplating ripping them off when I get new coils (or maybe sooner.)
