Yay, a great "appearance package" option for the price of a Nissan Versa. Hell I'd just buy a stripped Rubicon and a Versa to commute in...

I think the JK Moab had locking rear dif., not front, only rear.The JK Moab wasn't built on a Rubicon platform either. It came standard with limited slip rear, D44/D30 combo and 2.72 transfer case. Metal bumpers, rock rails and a few other details.
Moab, Utah is the Jeep Mecca of the world and the "Moab" edition should be built on the Rubicon platform. I was thinking the same thing when JK Moab came out.
It was an available option but I have looked at probably 100 of them and none of them had one. I searched half the country for a JK in the past year and might have bought a Moab if I could have found 1 with a rear locker.I think the JK Moab had locking rear dif., not front, only rear.
Mopar has them listed but I'm not sure if you can order them yet.Can you buy Rubicon fron fenders for a Moab?...I can't stand how the lower sahara ones look.
Seems pretty similar to the new one: https://www.netcarshow.com/jeep/2013-wrangler_unlimited_moab/Did previous Moab editions have some sort of signature interior design features, like unique leathers seats or dash or something? I find it odd that a towing package option isn’t listed as available for this model For the price it is t a bad value if it’s what you want. I mostly like it.
I think it's because for some of us it looks more rugged than the sahara, but not totally a rubicon style or capability as some don't plan on off-roading a lot, thereby needing the rubicon.I'm not quite sure what the appeal of this special edition is? It's more money and less capable than the Rubicon.
ROFLLL!!!! Love this!So here’s what I can deduce from this surprise announcement.
- We’re gonna have to call this a RubiHara, naturally.
- We now have proof of what caused the rail yard fires. The hybrid batteries theory was a red herring to throw us of the real culprit: hot, illicit Rubicon on Sahara action out behind the parts bin that was intense enough to ignite nearby innocent Jeeps into bursting into flames. The proof? Months later we are gifted with this baby that is clearly the product of inter-trim level fornication. Has it’s dad’s looks and it’s mother’s heart.
- Rather than terminating early, Jeep decided to let it go full term and profit.
- Jeep can tell us this is a 2018 model if they want, but clearly it’s a 2019.
- Which leads me to this thought - Hella Yella and Nacho are conspicuously absent from the list of available colors and there are two new colors for 2019. Now we know which colors are staying and which are leaving in 2019.
im not sure how the Rubi looks more offroad. the Moab has MT tires which make give it a more off road "look" than the rubi, imo. other than the tires, they pretty much look the same, except for the fenders which arent that noticeable imo.- I'm not feeling the total "offroad look" of the rubi since most of my traveling is city driving...so this affects how it drives, rides and other "city amenities" id be missing from a Sahara or Sport.
Hehe
Lol! Well, I like my sport and I'm happy with it...but i still dont see the problem with this Moab? As I mentioned not everyone wants to mod-out their ride. A lot of people like convenience...and liking and combining parts from different wranglers is okay imo. Like, im not spending the money on it and if someone else wants to, than great for them.im not sure how the Rubi looks more offroad. the Moab has MT tires which make give it a more off road "look" than the rubi, imo. other than the tires, they pretty much look the same, except for the fenders which arent that noticeable imo.
im sure Jeep got a smoking deal on 50,000 of those MT tires as theyre the exact same size as the outgoing rubi tires.
as mentioned, this is basically a hybrid parts bin special. call it a Saharacon, as in you are getting conned into buying this over a rubicon lol
i guess this would be good if you want a more rugged looking sahara. the hood and tires really. you can buy those tires on CL all day long for cheap, and then just buy a hood and side rails. but if you want it turn key, here you go.
