Ok so the wife wants her own JK. I was looking at a 2009 but she is in love with this. I would like some comments. I'm not the biggest fan of the color but it is a rubicon and the wife likes it so I guess I'll go for it.

The color isn't bad and the little accents are neat but is it a Rubicon? I know many of their previous special editions were not. thy had the same tires but the transfer case and axle ratios were different. Not to mention the lack of electronic sway bar disconnect, lockers, and larger front axle.

I can give you my opinion, as a Jeep chick. I dig the color and almost wish I had that myself but went with the gecko instead. I don't love color matched tops, but put a black soft top or hard top on there and I think it's awesome.

Thumbs up from me!

Yes it is not a Rubicon. I don't think the color is that bad. If that's what she wants I say go for it

If my wife wanted that exact jeep I would definitely do it. It is an artic and doesn't have the goodies the rubicon has but it's dam sharp and all those upgrades can come later. I say do it also.
Happy wife = happy life

Just to clarify, I like the jeep. I simply didn't know if it was a rebadged rubicon like last years call of duty or a rebadged Sahara Luke the Islander or Mountain editions.

The Arctic is built off of a Sahara. Love that color though. If she likes it, I say get it. It's all about happiness...

All I know is it has electric sway bar disconnects it has lockers. Two buttons on the left side next to an off road sign. The shocks are red and the tires are the same I don't know but seems to be a rubi.
