New Member, Bought a 2019 JLU Rubicon last Saturday! Excited to be back in the 4WD Fraternity as I long ago drove a '72 Intl Scout that was bought AT a carshow... ( For you IH oldtimers, it was an 800B,Prototype 4 Comanche. Infotainment was a genuine AM radio!!
but it was snazzy especially in the day & for street. Drove it a bit offroad up at a lake cabin my family had at the time. Alas long gone. Loved that Scout ( and the cabin).
But I digress...
Flash Fwd, I'm 63 very Mall Rated, with a 5'3" wife and I have a left side dexterity handicap that makes entering the Rubicon entertaining to observers...
So since I bit the bullet & bought a Rubicon, why not make my life easier & get some steps...and of course why not expensive steps since I am now poor lol... So I am havin the rock slide steps put in next week
While I KNOW I will rarely exercise her abilities severely offroad, I may do "a little" some day In N. GA, would YOU go ahead & spring for their addn'l skid plate knowing I will likely never need it... With Rhe Rock slide unit will I be severley diluting Rubiconesque abilities?
(I will keep the Stock Rubicon rails in case of sale or ??? but owing to my usage even Rock Slide said save the dough. I just don't want to materially compromise the base Rubicon's abilities ya know?
Please be kind I know it's mostly psychological & I really don't want to WASTE money...
