??? Are you seeing a reflection off the vehicle next to it, because I can't even see any shocks in any of the pictures?

i'm going to say Rubi, because i can see the mirror dent on the cowl, and we all know rubi owners are the only ones who take off their doors.

Posicon?

Deceptahara?

Saharicon?

Rubihara?

Ruharicon?

Sarubihara?

Sahubicon?



I'll guess it is a Sahara that someone swapped wheels and added a sticker too. but it really is just about impossible to tell from those shots.

not quite - I've already had my doors off, and will do so again as soon as there's a nice stretch of good weather.

I'm going to say an X with Sahara and Rubicon parts, because it seems like an awfully conspicuous choice up there... the side steps and fenders say Sahara, but the tires and stickers say Rubicon... and seeing as the dealer went through the trouble of installing tail-light guards, I wouldn't put it past them to "tough up" the appearance of an X... next thing you know, they'll be plastering big "4X4" stickers all over their 2WD models to move them off the lot!

It doesn't appear to have the Rubicon rake so I'm going with Sahara.

Well, it has Rubicon decals, so it must be a Rubicon! Seriously, anyone can buy Rubi tires/wheels and since it has painted fenders and Sahara steps, I would guess it would be a Sahara (not that a Rubi owner couldn't have gotten those from a Sahara). Wait can I change.......um.....uh......the pressure!

yeah, i was just kidding. Rubi owners know better than to let the door go.

really. i kid. i'm not trolling.

if i had a silver, rescue green, or red rock though, i'd put sahara flares on it. not those gawd awful sidesteps...but the flares look great on those colors
