2WD Rubicon?!?!??!

I passed the most beautiful yj today and i was so awestricken i forgot to wave. Man i sure was beating myself up over that one. I go out of my way to be courteous to any jeep wrangler or xj(as long as it's not sitting on 20 inch rims) whether that courtesy be shown in a wave or letting them out in a parking lot. Don't know where i stand on waving to the new tk's yet though. Think i'm gonna mosey on over to the dealership and check one out for myself.
 

OK, drove by a Jeep dealer in Baton Rouge on my way to have a "lid" put on the back of my company Ranger.......had to stop in on the way back.....

Not bad with the top down and doors off!!...

Are these pictures of two different jeeps,because in the 2nd pic I swear I see a transfer case shifter.
 
Is it just me, or do those tires look like regular street tires? The sticker says Off Road Tires, but I wouldn't take them down a dirt road!

Why not have street tires, with 2WD it's a street Jeep anyhow.

Good point....but dang! You could at least try to fake it!

A guy at work has a YJ with about 2 1/2 to 3" of lift and what looks like 31x12.50 tires....and they are straight street tires, even more so than what's in these pics. It just makes me sick everytime I see that poor YJ.........:cry:
 
$22,000 for a non-4wd? WTF? I am in sticker shock. I'd hate to see the price of a decent 4WD model. They lost their ever lovin minds. Guys I hate to say it, but I think Jeep may go under for this one. First they screwed up by getting rid of the XJ for the Liberty (trying to cover their mistake by taking away the better option) and now this. I think this is going to be the Pinto of the Jeep.

Couldn't agree with you more! Mind you, the pics are of a 4WD (albeit, automatic) 4-door unlimited......(sticker pic was of the 2WD model)......but there was lots and lots of plastic - pretty sick. And the 4WD model was in the neighborhood of $27K. Guy told me they've got the SWB's coming, but I had a hard time getting excited...........wound up walking around the lot checking out the '06 Rubicons :twisted: .............and dreaming.

Still glad I've got my '03 4banger,

Looks like that 4 door model without the doors is just missing a pink striped cloth top with fringes........:purple:
 

What is up with the fuel tank? It looks like a over sized muffler!
 
What the hell is that underneath..... I guess what Jeep really intended was sorta liek a parachute for drag racers, they want to make the crawl speed much slower by installing metal brackets to drag on any log, rock, curb, leaf pile. Thats really bad. I thought someone posted that it was on a Rubi with 20" rims and such, btu obviously not. All i can say is no way. I told me wife i know she wanted to get the 4 door, but its not for me from what i saw underneath.
 

:bomb: :flamethro :flamethro :flamethro :bomb:

Maybe this will help, well it least it's helping me. GTH 2WD RUBICON! DIE! DIE!

I'm wondering... whay would it be any different on the SWB or the Rubicon?

They're probably all like that. Not good.
 
Well, I've already seen the mess on the rear end, so what does the front end look like? Is it or is it not IFS? For 2wd, it would about have to be, right?
 

Ok this goes for the post about the cherokee when it was in 2wd, Even though it was 2wd it was my first jeep. It was a 94' 5 speed 4 banger, and I had 31 Winston AT's on it, it was mean looking with the black wheels that jeep put on it. I pulled people out of holes in it so HA! Now I have a 4wd 96 version still stock but i've gone everywhere that jeep wranglers with 4 inch lifts and 33's on them...Both 2 door models ^.^...SO DON'T HATE!! YARRRRG
