MOAB...I just don't understand

[Jondrew]

No one hates you. Some of us are just having fun. Dang, now I feel bad

Geez, no one should be taking this seriously or personally. We’re all jeepers right?

Hell, I didn’t even know there was a real MOAB version till I saw this thread. I just assumed a few people had put a custom decal on their hood. But now I understand. It’s sort of like when Jeep produced 2WD versions for people who didn’t need a real Jeep.

Wow. Now i see why there is a Non-Rubicon thread. Not even in the corvette forum do ZR1 owners rip on the standard vettes.

When is the last time you engaged your lockers or disconnected the sway bar? Probably just to test to see if it works. Would love to see how many Rubi drivers actually have ever even used them. I’m guessing 20% on the generous side.

For me it was Friday. Didn’t need them on the beach yesterday.

All the time, when I get off road I lock the rear and forget it, on some trails I like to stay in 2wd just to see how far I can go before I need 4 h. You’d be surprised where the Jeep can go with locked rearend

20%! Is it really that bad? Wow...

I really love my new Moab. Cost did not enter into it. I just bought the vehicle based on how I intend to use it. And yes, I sure do love the looks of it too. I'm 68, not 28 and have no desire to "challenge" rocks and rock waterfalls, or to prove anything. I own all kinds of ATV's, buggies, Harley and for me, they are way more fun than a slow climb up a rock cliff. And around town, the Jeep is so much more fun to drive than my longbed F-250 4 door beast.

Wife and I like to hike, so the Moab will get me to anywhere, any trail head I want to go to. Destination oriented, I have confidence I can get there. Its a third vehicle, just for fun. I tow behind my Bus. Open air, and yes comfort - the old back and knees appreciate a little comfort. Sky one touch too, as I'm sort of lazy and don't want to futz with the tops, but still have the open feel at any time, especially when 500 miles from home and no place to put the top. If I run into snow, (on the way to the 7/11 ) the lockers are a hazard, not a plus.

I also would have opted for a non body color top and fenders too. But can you say "Plastidip"? And I really don't like the tires (noisy), but will use these till they wear out. I don't mind heated leather seats, and that does not make me soft - just old. Har.

I have a commercial wood chipper to push around my property and the select trac has been perfect for the steep areas. I don't need or want the lower gearing of a Rubi. Dont want to tow the extra weight for features I don't use. And as others have said, its amazing where these things can go just in 2 wheel drive. I guess if I wanted to climb rocks, I'd get a purpose bilt rock rail, and go where even a modified street vehicle can't (gauntlet thrown).

This vehicle has the looks, and exactly the chops for how I use it. Jeep hit a home run for me.

Now selectable lockers are a "hazard"? Lulz..... Wouldn't the alleged "hazard" only be initiated by the person behind the wheel? Or...maybe that's exactly what you meant to say. Somehow, based on your missive, I sorta doubt it.

It's a great looking Jeep but the HUGE turnoff for me is the CV axles up front. Wouldn't want to have that for off roading that we do.

Someone take their MOAB to MOAB to see if it can even tackle MOAB. If it can't, you could make some money, because it will be a viral youtube video

“it’s anazing where these things can go in just 2wd “ WITH the rear axle locked!

 

[ocrejects]

It actually is more capable off-road than a Rubicon in some situations.

No at all

 

[Yammyhaha]

To all the envious Moab dislikers or admirers or whatever, all I can say is, "Jealous Again!". Great song!! LOL!!!!!!!
