Had a 2010 JK Unlimited and sold it in 2012. I bought a full size Dodge Crew Cab Cummins because I needed it to haul things. Dodge is now paid for :-) I picked up a 2015 JK Rubicon , 4:10's Auto, etc. I must say there's a noticeable performance difference b/t the 2010 motor and the 2015. Seems Jeep continues to upgrade the interior. I like the plan Jane interior look, I think it's more functional for offload; however, I understand there are lot of mall crawlers used my soccer moms and the Unlimited is keeping the product line alive.

 

Welcome back. Any plans for the Rubi?

 

On my 2010 Rubicon Unlimited I have a 4" lift, 35" tires, warn winch, etc. For my 2015 I'm really enjoying the drivability of the 2 door. It's like drive a smart car on steroids.

Having done a bunch of search and rescue off road training and attended LA County Sheriff's off road training course, I've seen and learned a stock Rubi is very capable when the driver has learned the technical processes for off roading.

I'm sure in the 5 years that I was away, technology has improved the lift kits, electrical systems etc., Right now, my new 1/2 a truck will remain stock while I start researching.

 

Welcome back! I'm in a similar boat, only I started with a TJ, sold it for an econo-commuter, and now I'm back with a JK 2dr Willys.

Kept mine stock for a couple weeks, then the OEM headlights had to go once I saw the other options available nowadays.

Good luck with the new Rubi!

 

Good luck with your mods! So much to choose from and so little money!

 

Got that right!
