Very well done review. From a Jeep owner looking to upgrade from a TJ for more room this review gave me the information I needed to know but also would give the potential Jeep owner the education they need. Thanks.
It depends on what type of off roading and if you are talking just body lift or suspension as well,remember that"Too Much Of A Good Thing Isn't Always A Good Thing"
It sounds like the Unlimited would be a waste of money for you, but for me, it's the only alternative. My '09 Rubicon Unlimited has tackled some of the most technical trails in Arizona, Colorado and Northern Cal, all while carrying 4 adults and camping gear. As far as visibility, um, it's a Jeep. We drop the top. It doesn't get better than that!
it sorta does, it uses the brake (automatically) on the spinning wheel so that the other wheel will grab. the locking differential will just lock both wheels for better traction. Thats how I understand it to work anyway...
As much as I like the Wrangler, I might have to side with the Patriot, because of the mpg. If it were vise versa, than obviously I'd go with the Wrangler.
3.8 reliable? I've heard many comment regarding the garbage in the heads as well as the unlimited oil consumption and spun bearings.... any thoughts on reliability? its the only issue that I am concerned about...
i think he's talking about the jeep wrangler lineup as a whole. rubicons get lockers, sahara/sport with 3.73's get LSD and all have ABS, Traction control and anti roll migation ( applying brakes to certain wheels in a high speed maneuver. someone can correct me if I'm wrong
Very ncie review - but why on dry terrain? Mud, please! Nice vehicle.....very good for someone who doens't have the time to modify but wants to enjoy the off road. One question though.....will Jeep every abandon the chain-drive rock trak-t-case in these Rubicons for a true, all-gear driven unit? Now that would be truly hardcore.....
And if hard to see out of, why not just add the extra 'fish eye' mirror like i have? They're worth their price in gold when parallel parking and when towing something
More body roll due to smaller sway bars in the back? Errr... The sways have always been a hell of a lot smaller in the back on wranglers... You want to talk about body roll, take the fronts off (hit a button on the JK's) and do a quick maneuver doing 40...
A wrangler JK are all the wranglers that have been made since 2007..The jeep "YJ" was made from 1987-1995 The "TJ" from 1997-2006 and the "JK" from 2007 - current...The YJ, TJ and JK are used by jeepers for simpleness.. IE. Talking to someone and they say they own a wrangler.. You ask what kind? They say TJ.. So you know it was made from 1997-2006 and has round headlights
The LJ (or unlimited) might be 'waste of money" now days... Just wait 30 years down the line.. They will be worth alot more because they're more 'rare' then the rest of the wrangler lineup... the LJ's were only produced for 3 years.. and only 2 years in manual
This is the best off road vehicle hands down! I wish I could afford this badass Rubi!
I have watched many Jeep videos and this guy is good and straight forward... Keep it up..
This is one of the best reviews! Thank you! Just bought a Rubican and this helped a lot in understanding the different setups.

Thank you very much for this awesome review. I learn the most out watching this one video than all the videos I have watched so far.
Can't wait for a overland expedition test drive VIDEO with this Rubicon! Great Clip & Info Scott!
Terrific review. Straight forward, and simple. Not filled with loads of unnecessary crap or opinion.
I agree with everything here. My 2012 Rubi takes me everywhere. Very glad I waited for the new engine and interior.

I don't think it can have a limited slip in the rear and also a locker in the rear...

Nice video. Well spoken. Two thumbs up.
I giggled when he called it a truck...

thank you,,nice review....
Hey just wanted to say GREAT video!
your front inside tire will be turning and biting into the terrain causing that shutter feeling.

Was that a stock/standard suspension? Or was the suspension modified?
good review
Great review!!
Yes, very nice !!!
It's a JEEP not a truck
Well, suv as far as it's class is concerned.
Thank you!
anyone please help ...my 2012 Rubicon 2 doors ,automatic, consumption is between 21-24 L/100 km....is that normal?

I'm not wanting highway speed. I'm wanting capability.
What do you guys think of the Sahara model?
8/10 Good Job
