well said.
I would go with the X also. The only reason I would even want the rubi is the locker, but I wouldn't pay that much for it. I can't stand the disco's in the rubi, just one more thing to break. The t-case is awesome, but like said above it can get got for not a ton of money. The axels are also nice in the rubi, but I would rather have the chrome moleys (sp?) in the dana 30. So all in all, X would be the way to go....unless you really like the sticker sorry couldn't help myself

The X I was working the deal on had the rear locker package. With all the options the MSRP was over 31K and the rubi is at 33K so 2K difference. For that 2K I get the t-case, D44 front and 4.10's. The 4.10's are really pushing me since I will be putting my KM2 35's on. By the way, I will also be putting my TF 2.5 Coil lift on. Will I need spacers to continue to run the 35's or will I get enough lift with the coils themselves?

I already have front & rear bumpers, winch, fogs, wheels & tires. Taking them off my 2dr.

You should have enough lift with the coils themselves!!!

I hope so, I think I am going to trim the fenders so I guess that would help a little also.

I may be wrong but isn't he going to need spacers or at least new wheels to clear the 35's if using stock rims? Now matter which lift he uses those wheels do not provide the right backspacing to get the tires away from the swaybar and front airdam.

And IMO, if you are only looking @ $2k difference between a loaded X and a Rubi - you may as well get the Rubi cause you are going to spend a Grand uping the gears anyway. Why not get it off the floor with what you want and the warranty to boot? Not to mention rolling the extra bucks into financing.

I already have wheels with my 35's, MT classics II's. Also no airdam will be used.

If you can afford it get the Rubi. Your wife will like the electric locks and windows for the kids. You will like the D44 upfront with lockers all around. You both win.

doc307

Yeah, I have the power windows and locks now. She wants me to add heated seats - come on I am in Georgia but will add them if it helps her go along with the rubi purchase

I've thought about getting the heated seat accessory too. I'm getting older and my bones need comfort!

So far, the rubi is way out in front. Too bad I can't go ahead and get a hemi.
