Want some opinions
I have a little while until I actually get my jeep, but thought I would ask some opinions.
If I get a sport, then it will have a hard top, 3.73 gears w/tow, infinity speaker, power convenience, manual, with LSD.
If I get a Rubi, then hard top and tow.
This will be my daily driver. I currently live in Colorado, but will be moving to Huntsville, AL sometime in Sep 2010.
Seems like everyone thinks 33" are too small for a 15 rim with lift, so lets say that is now 35" wheels.

I have a stock 08 Rubi 2dr, had all these plans for lift and tires etc. I now don't think that I need them for the type of wheeling that I do, the Rubi is enough for me stock. I do want a winch and front bumper though. Gi

seeing as it is a DD... dont know what kind of wheeling you plan on but i voted 33s with leveling kit and 15s for three reasons.
1) leveling kit and 33s looks in proportion.
2) the 15s will make the 33s look bigger than they appear.
3) all four choices offer the same clearance and 33s with 15s would be cheapest.

I have a Rubi Unlimited and I have to say it is pretty frickin' amazing what it can do even in it's stock form. I was all set to get a lift and some 35's and then a medical emergency depleted my play funds.
I take my Rubi in the hills every weekend. Sure, I can't tackle some of the rocks that guys with lifts can, but I'm pretty sure I can get anywhere 33's would get you.

I am voting rubicon. very capable stock, and lockers and E-disco are more valuable than an inch of rubber. But if you went 35's that would be a different story. Good luck

A stock Rubi is very capable off road. With the e-discos, F&R lockers, 4:1 crawling gears, skids, rails, etc.. you can drive it off the lot and wheel it.
