Camper here will be 3,100 lbs dry. The 4.10's will thank me. Or... the other way around.

Going with hard/freedom top, tempted to splurge on leather seats... this will be the last vehicle for a long time.

(Yeah right.....)
You mean the Rubi doesn't have a manual 2/4hi/4lo selector?

I thought it was an electronic selector. I hope I'm wrong because I prefer the manual one. Can someone clarify? On a Rubi with Rock-Trac transfer case, is the selector manually operated on the floor, or electronically on the dash?

The lever is connected to the t-case with a push/pull cable. I don't believe they changed that for the 2011 model year.

The latest pictures of the interior shows the same lever as in the past.
