Talking Newbie Jeep lover from South Africa

A big HELLO to all you Jeep fanatics out there

I'm a new Jeep lover

Thinking of getting myself a '09 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited

Wass wnating to know what you guys think, and possible shortfalls and plus points regarding this awesome vehicle!

If any of you have done some lift and mods, would be great to know and hear as well!

Currently they only spec the Rubicon in a 4 speed auto box? Is this a good buy or am i making a mistake???

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated!

Looking forward to hearing form you guys!

Regards

Welcome to the forum, and good luck with the search! You don't get the 5 speed auto over there?

Nope!

We are always on the crappy recieving end this side!!!

I was hoping to get either the 5 speed auto or the 6 speed manual, as i've always gone 4x4ing in a manual???

So the 4 speed auto is a bad choice???

My other options are a new 70series toyota cruiser or a land rover, both not beeing my favourite and first choise!!!!

Thanx for the reply!!!

Cheers

Welcome to the Forum. I'm a fellow South African, but currently living in Texas.

You've found the best forum.

I have the 5 speed Auto Rubi and it's perfect. Sorry I'm not able to give any feedback on 4-spd.
