For 55K you can make it look like a Toyota FJ-40, but is will still break its frame on the first decent boulder. Bob H - 1-18-2014 at 10:01 AM
I don't know why anyone would need a 6.4 liter HEMI V-8 to crawl over rocks!! But, I bet it sounds nice...

I like what they did with it... Too bad it isn't a production model. Of course Ken Cooke would need to have it (maybe a 2 door for trail runs?).
The V-8 is wise, being the larger 4 door JK Wrangler Rubicon with those tires and weight factored in.

A stock Rubicon will go places you really will wish you hadn't gone , so why spend the extra money.David K - 1-18-2014 at 11:21 AM

Lockers or traction control really boost a 4WDs ability to go beyond the norm! Good driving skills and of course good tires at lowered pressure really
helps too! Steve&Debby - 1-18-2014 at 10:53 PM

listen, long before
you ever dreamed of highway5 a 20 year old named alfonsina drove her donated piece of crap 2WD pickup, often alone, from gonzaga bay to mexicali
weekly in the middle of the night to beat the summer heat when "that road" was little more than a PATH. lockers,traction control, air
conditioned,satellite radioed laser guided GPS'd blah blah blah, shell island dream machines. you kill me! David K - 1-19-2014 at 12:44 AM
I am not talking of main roads like the one built to Gonzaga in 1960... lol. I was responding to the Rubicon photo and jimgrms reply.
Steve & Debbie, that was my mistake, it is a JK not a KJ Wrangler. Thank you for questioning that.
from Wiki:
The Wrangler debuted in 1986 as a revision of the Jeep CJ-7, was revised in 1996, and completely redesigned in 2006. In addition to the nameplate
Wrangler, each model received a designation corresponding to its generation: YJ (1986–1995), TJ (1997–2006), LJ's (2003–2006 Unlimited models) and
JK (2007–present).
