Just found these video's on youtube showing the new MOAB edition jeep. Looks like its got the 2013 rubicon rims but in all black, enhanced mopar rock rails, and an aev hood Then the other one in the second video has some weird pink paint job.

Not diggin the front bumper at all. You cannot cut it like the regular bumper and still keep your fog lights.

 

They definitely dropped the ball on this JK. Nothing about it makes it seem very special, and the fact that they have a MOAB JK without beefier tires, just makes the whole idea pointless, IMO.

 

If i'm not mistaken that is the stock European front bumper

 

Yes it's a European Jeep in the video, here's the multiple reasons why: American license plate delete plug, CRD logo (rear door), goofy bumpers, and finally the most obvious, the title states 2012 PARIS AUTO SHOW! The American Moab version has AEV front and rear bumpers, AEV hood, black wheels with MW3 Mopar rock rails, and a rear locking differential like the Rubicon, thus NOT dropping the ball. The tires are even supposed to have a Kevlar liner too, how do you like those apples? Go to the Jeep website (American website duh) and they have details.

 

The new Moab is based on a Sahara, not a Rubi. So it does not have a D44 up front nor a 4:1 transfer case. It comes with Trac-Lok as a standard, but a rear locker is an option.

The new tires are a touch smaller than the standard 32's, but they are very nice Goodyear's.

I think it is fine except for one issue.....color selection.

Dozer was supposed to be extended, but from what I understand....it is already closed. So that leaves Crush (which will close soon), White, Black, and Rock Lobster (which is mix of light red and orange).....meh.....

 

Those tires are simply awful...REALLY Chrysler...Goodyear Silent Armor in 245/75R17 on a Wrangler with MOAB badging???

 

Its so you can sneak up on the rocks!

 

Terrible, terrible, terrible


Nothing more to say

 

The MOAB or my joke?
