So i was doing what everyone else does on thanksgiving day... going to the super market to get some forgotten items for the feast. So since i have my jeep now i obviously check out other people riggs to help me get an idea of what i do and dont like. Saw something interesting.. Saw a JKU with a Factory "SPORT" badging on the side, But then I see a "RUBICON" sticker in the factory spot. as well. So since I am new to the scene I am kinda confused about what I saw, so I start to write it off as my ignorance. Then the wheels catch my eye.. stamped steelies... So now I am pretty sure that I was looking at a Rubinot but still could be wrong. Just throwing this out there to see if I am right or wrong.

 

It probably wasn't a rubi, you can always tell by looking at the shocks, rubi's are red. If your still not convinced you have to learn how to spot the difference between a Dana 30 and a 44 front axle. Also look for the e-locker wiring on the differentials.

Rubicons come with mud terrain tires too.

 

They probably bought the rubicon stickers online and added it to the hood. Rubi's dont have anything else besides the small wrangler/wrangler unlimited sticker by the fenders.

 

def a rubifake

 

Yea it had Sport Tires.
So how do i spot check for Dana differances..

I am at the office so i can go look a thet manual or anything right now but how can i verify if I have the locking rear differantial, and what my gear ratio is on my 2012 Sport.

Ohh yea Hijacking my own thread

 

I didn't like the way the "X" badge looked on my Jeep. So I had one made that I do like. I didn't try to make it into something that it isn't though. But I still get some curious looks.

 

re-badging and faking it are two differant things. I like your version of your badge though.

Still working on something to personalize it for the wifey and I.

 

hahaha.. RUBINOT... classic

 

You're definitely right. Was the rubicon sticker even applied straight?

 

On a similar note, I see a jku with black ops stickers on it, and sport tires. Are black ops shocks red like rubicons?
