Question Built X vs. Rubicon thread

There was a tread comparing building up an X model to a stock Rubicon. I have searched, but can't find. Can anyone point me to it?

Thanks.

I recommend getting bigger more aggressive tires, jks sway bar dissconnect and you should be good to go.

The main difference in an X and Rubicon is the D44 front, electric sway bar discos(crap from what I have read on here), and lockers......i think....

Not saying the Rubicon isnt better but you can get an X .... do a few mods, and make it look great and still have 7-8k left in your pocket....

instead of building an x up to a 'rubicon', but build it until it is yours..........

I dont know where the link is, maybe someone else does

Its still a NV241 but the transfer case has a 4.0:1 in the Rubicon. I believe
