I really like the Rubicon for so many reasons
1)The tramsmission, It changes as my riding stlye
does from the desert flats to the mountians
I become one with the machine.And it has a most
excellent engine braking set up.
2)The engine,great power for me Quiet and liquid
cooled, I ride all year long in temps up to 115°
and in the mountains around 9000ft @ temps of
25° and never had a jetting issue.
3)The suspension,even with the SRA I ride for
8+ hours and I can still walk ! between my two
boxes I carry around 300lbs and with the low center of gravity it hugs the mountian switchbacks
The best thing I did was to put 26" Bighorns 9"
in the front and 12" at the rear and this raised my
ground clearance 1 1/2" without making it tippy.
I run it hard in some very extreme conditions
however I keep a very close eye on the maintance
and always do a pre ride inspection with just over
3500 miles on it all I do is ride and thats what
I'm talking about
The most important thing is to be happy with
whatever you get,and be sure to drive them both
