2012 Silver JKU Rubi. Ordered it in Dec and picked it up mid Feb. Only had 3 km on it and it was all shiny and new. I'll hit 10 000 km early next week. I'd guess at least a quarter of those km's where off road. It currently has a healthy amount of pin stripping, at least 3 dents, beat up rims and lots of rock humping scars on the belly not to mention the butt load of dust and mud built up all throughout. I've already replaced the front bumper and added a winch. Hope to be installing 3" lift and 35's in the very near future.
So far, it's problem free (knocking aggressively on wood) and has been a ton of fun to drive. My last ride was a '98 2 door stock XJ sport. I love that Jeep very much but damn this Rubi is just so much freekin' fun!!!
It would be pretty sweet if there was a section dedicated to the 2012's on this forum considering how many differences there are compared to older models. It would also be pretty sweet to have a section dedicated to Rubi's.
Here she be parked on top of a mountain just east of Manning Park BC.

What front bumper do you have? I'm still shopping and have yet to decide on a bumper/winch so I was just curious as to your set up.

Dan blan never mentioned this. I have a 12 and when you change your front bumper there is a vacuum pump that needs to be relocated. I never had a heads up so ran into issues. But not a big deal. ! Stupid place to put the pump cuz most jeepers change their bumper !!
