Default 4x2 Not selling too well

Today I went by the dealership and seen some marked down sale tags in the windows of the JK's. So I stopped and checked them out. Every JK Unlimited that was 4wd there was no mark down stickers, every 2wd was on sale for around 2000 less than sticker along with all there twd models except the rubi's. Seems like the 2wd's not doing so well.

Wow, pretty soon it'll be worthwhile to buy a 4x2 in order to have a nice, fresh set of the paper-thin sheet metal body!:toung:

Well my brother in law wanted a 2wd so he could strip it down for a serious crawler instead of dropin extra into something he wouls gut anyway... which he opted for the family wagon anyway and spent 45k on a tahoe iigget
well i guess it floats his wifes boat... he has an unfinished YJ in the barn needs the frame finished and the drivelines back in.. he dont have time..

Trying to broaden the target market I think.
Think "High school girls Jeep" It's got the style, and much cheaper for mom and dad.

Psst. You can't get a 2wd Rubi in anything... The 2wds just sit down here also.

Still waiting to see the 1st mall crawler w/ a 2wd JK w/ big tires and lift, with a Rubi sticker on the hood. Somebody'll do it eventually.
