For a weekend warrior I would look for a used Rubi with 4.10 gears. Off road with 35's you are going to tackle most anything. It will be night and day different then 3.73 on a 2010. You will drive slower and in control and the lockers will give you the extra traction. You will also be less likely to break stuff with that set up in gearing and lockers then with a sport model.

Stock Rubi's with the new engine are awesome on the trail and on the highway.

I agree since you've expressed wanting these features. It's exactly what I have, 2012 Rubi with 30K miles and it's still like new. Only difference is that I bought mine new but if it were for sale, it would be a perfect choice.

I was at the dealership with my 08 Sahara with 55,000 miles beat up from trails. Looked at the rubi I would like to have and after 35 minutes of negotiations they came back with I would owe $14,000. Just could not bring myself to have the payment and then go modify the new jeep.
