JK Rubi 4dr owners ---> questions (mopar bumps too)
Hey, guys.
I have been searching stuff on the web as hard as I can, and found the site... hoping some of you can help me out.
I have been watching the market and watching my checkbook. I have a heavily modded ZJ, and I'm looking to get into a Unlimited Rubicon. I have several concerns about the purchase, though. My issue revolves around the fact that down here in South Georgia, 4wd Jeeps (where 2wd models are also available) are hard to come by. I can't lay my hands on one to test drive outfited the way I'm looking to order/buy mine.
I'm lookin for owner impressions on the 4dr Rubicon with both the 6spd and auto. I'm looking to get the auto, but eventually want to run a 33-35" tire.... so the actual performance is important. My Zj has the 4.0, running 4.56 and 33's... even with a few power mods, it (understandably) doesnt have the get-up-and-gone it used to. The way the masses have dogged the "new" V-6 for lacking on bottom end oomph like the 4.0 in my ZJ has me a little worried. When it was stock that thing was a power house.. and with all the mods on the ZJ, it still holds it's own pretty well. I hear it's a high revver, but having test drove a Unlimited X with the 6spd, I wasn't all that impressed with the power.
If I act quick, I could land a brand spankin new TJ Rubicon for $24,300, but I really need that 5th seatbelt... and is the main thing I've been holding out for.
Also. Those that actually purchased the Mopar bumper(s) and the Warn winch through the dealer network... what price are you seeing? The local guy I'm trying to use is apparently having some trouble in getting a firm figure.. or any figure for that matter.
Thanks, guys.. there's more to ask, but I'm surfing on "company time" right now..
