What year did they come out with IRS on the Rubicon?? I haven't seen it. I thought only the Rincon and Rancher AT came with it...

No, the Rubi has a solid rear axle. With a lil stiffer suspension that the foreman.

the RINCON (680cc) is IRS. the rubicon IS a foreman technically, and has a solid rear axle. the rubicon has an infinitely variable hydrostatic transmission and the regular foreman has a 5 speed tranny. rubicon has 499cc liquid cooled engine, regular foreman has 475cc air cooled engine
