    2WD Rubicon?!?!??!

    If you're referring to that large thing under the rear end - YES, that is a muffler! The only other place I've seen such a large muffler is on very large trucks, like those that work the mines! They relocated the fuel tank to the right side next to the frame.

    2WD Rubicon?!?!??!

    I have priced out an 07 Rubicon and it comes to an invoice of $26,795. It does not have many of those "nice to have" features. I just want a capable Rubicon! The dealer has said he will sell it to me at invoice! And, I'm hoping DC is not "Just Kidding" with the JK designation!!!

    2WD Rubicon?!?!??!

    Not sure if that is the 2WD or 4WD, but I've actually crawled under the 07 Rubicon (2 door of course), and it's the same very low rear shock mount! I've sent an inquiry to Quadratec to ask them if they or any of their supplies had seen this and if there was anything planned to fix this "rock...

    07 Rubicon

    That's cruel!!!! Of course, j/k! I've noticed the new desigination for the 07 models is also JK. I hope DC is not sending us some type of message!!! And here's a very interesting point -- I am a charter (founding) member of TTORA (Toyota Territory Off-Roader's Association). Typically no...

    07 Rubicon

    I doubt that because I'm currently driving my 3rd Toyota pickup. Unfortunately it is not a 4 wheel drive (it's a PreRunner but does have a rear locker). And while I am a charter member of TTORA, the WA chapter is not really into 4 wheeling. They're too bureaucratically-minded to suit me. Why...

    07 Rubicon

    Got a call Saturday from a dealer who said he just received an 07 Rubicon and wanted to know if I wanted to come over and take a look and a drive (foolish question!!!). 'Course I said yes! Well, drove it today (Sunday) and here's my impressions: Drove as expected! Liked the 32" tires (I have...

    07 Rubicon

    Was that an 07 Rubicon or a non-Rubicon? If a non-Rubicon, the skid plate will, hopefully, be better than what I saw on the "X" model! I agree with that!!! That will probably be bypassable with a simple wiring change, as most things are. For example, most states require you to run your fog...

    Oh, almost forgot -- The mirrors are so big!!!! They will most likely be ripped off in due time! Paul

    07 Rubicon

    Got a chance to check one out yesterday at Barton Jeep (Spokane WA). Althought it was not a Rubicon, it was a "X" model soft top with the 6-speed transmission. I didn't find too much undesireable except: 1. That monsterous muffler! 2. Noticed the rear shock mounts were much lower than the...
