GROW UP! I think the post started as a lift comparison. I don't know if this is meant to be a joke, but this just shows that some ignorant people have a lot of maturing to do. As a 15+ year (and still going) soldier who has deployed and supported his country, I really don't feel I need to prove anything to anyone. My actions and miltary service record speak for themselves.
But as I said before just my opinion

My plan is to keep it mild until the warranty is over. Then I buy a beater car, and when the aftermarket works out all the bugs on the JK accessories then I will go higher and with some nice 36-37s and new gears. For now my daily driver stays mild. I don't plan on selling it as a Rubi I plan on keeping it a while anyway.

IMHO, take the lame X sticker off (I did), mod it to your liking and don't pretend to be something (or drive someting) your not. However, they sell Escalade badges for Tahoo's and tons of people do that. I think it is lame, but he knows what he really has and so do most jeepers.

Here's the problem with the Rubicon/not Rubicon debate...
Most Rubicon owners will NOT take advantage of their Jeep's full stock capabilities (yes, that's right - I said MOST). Those of us on the forum excluded of course, but let's be real: Most people (again, excluding the forum members) will buy the Rubicon model simply because it's the top trim offered... it's the American way.
So, I don't think Armycop is a "poser" in any way - he's going to actually wheel it, and as he wrote, he's going to wait a few years for the aftermarket to prove itself, and then mod it - that's my approach too. Let's all be real: with 36/37" tires, and a lift, gears, and drivetrain mods that'll allow for meats that big, his rig will be more capable than ANY stock Rubicon out there... so maybe you could argue he slapped on the Rubicon tags a little early, but I have confidence his Jeep will live up to the name.
Now, if FRDesign did that...
