Hi Everyone,

I am trying to figure out whether I should pick up an Unlimited X or go with Rubi Unlimited.

Here is my situation.

I want a 6 speed manual.

I plan on running 37's to 39's with probably the TeraFlex 6" Long Arm kit. If I get an X, the money that I save from not getting the Rubi I can use towards said lift kit, D60's ARB front and rear and a 4:1 transfer case.

If I get the Rubicon, I would still have to do the lift, the stock D44's are barely sufficient for 37's and definitely not reliable enough for 39's without perhaps upgrading to chromoly axle shafts.

If you were in my situation, which route would you opt for?

I see that most heavily modified JKs were purchased originally as the "X" model. I think that it makes sense this way.

Thanks for your inputs

 

For the mods you want, get the X and do the D60's. You'll likely pay top dollar for a Rubi Unlimited now, if you can find one in your area.

 

Sounds like you already answered your own question. An X would probably be best in your situation.

 

Does indeed sound like you have already answered your own question.
Here are something to consider though: If you want something that is extremely capable right out of the box, get ther Rubi. Sometimes the build starts taking longer than you anticipate, and I have seen more than one person in my area build a beast of a TJ (D60's, 5.38's, V8,, etc), only to end up selling it right at the end because their whole time was spent on building instead of wheeling.

 

I'de have to agree with everyone else on this, why spend an extra $10k on the vehicle itself if you plan on doing that much work to it. Get the X.

 

I would think go with the X -B package and go from there.
If your going with differant fender flares could i get yours? I could use all 4.

x2 - sounds to me like you already decided on the X.

 

Get the X...

 

If your planning that big of a build id go w/ the x and save the xtra money for mods

 

For those plans, go X.
