Haha the rubi thinks its best comment. I challenge you any ware any time , your rubi against my sport and we will see. I have seen more capable sports jeeps out there then rubi's. The only good thing about a rudi is allot of the off road stuff is on it all ready. Buy once and away you go. But in the end if you are looking for 37" tires and a heavy duty rock crawler , you will still spend money to get where I am. So I have dropped the gloves. haha

It's just a sticker. They both have the same crappy engine and tranny. It's what you do with it makes what it is , not a sticker.

I can understand wanting to go from a Jk to a jku. That's what I did and love. Both are the x model. Going from 3.21 to 4.10 is badass too. But i wouldn't mind lockers and the 4:1 t case. I also get along fine without them. That's what a winch is for lol.

So what is the cost of sourcing "t-case, 44 up front, gears, electric lockers front/rear, and electric sway bar disconnect?" Not to mention all of the messing around. Plus, all of those extras are cash out of your pocket. When it is all said and done, your used sport made into a Rubicon (or better) will be worth less than a stock used Rubicon. My example is assuming a stock Rubi aand stock sport. Well all know there is the Extreme Hemi's and rock crawlers out there that are better than both. But to keep things in scope, I feel the OP was referring to what the average person would do. That why I got my Rubi. More money yes, but I wouldn't look back.
