Great video. One day I'll take the wife and try to traverse MOAB.
Realistic question, does one need lockers for MOAB? Are there multiple easier paths around there where you dont have to Crawl over 3ft boulders?
I own a MOAB and the tires do get loud. You will definitely hear them going 50+ mph.
However, you will hear a lot of road/wind noise as well so... even if you were going to change out the tires to something quite, it will still be loud at highway speeds. Up to you if spending another $1000...
In short, yes.
However, terms used to describe the interior of the MOAB - "nicer" or "luxurious," is in the eye of the beholder. Some may consider loud, non matching colors to be a break from the norm and consider it elegant. Others, not so much. It comes down to how the interior makes YOU...
Did you get the paint protection at the dealer? Xpel paint protection, never heard of it but researching now. We too an all black JLU and definitely looking at protection the paint.
We ended up getting a MOAB over the Rubicon last month. Biggest deal breakers for us was the red interior/stitching of the Rubicon, and was $4.5K more expensive with comparible options.
The wife liked the Selec-trac's "set-it & forget" 4x4 mode, and is what we keep our MOAB set to. Inside...
No lockers. Just lift and 35s. However, bigger breakover angle since it is a 2 door. Point is still made though, Jeep Sports/Saharas can hang with Rubicons 90%+ of the time. With a winch, you can do whatever you want.
Congrats on your new purchase. We too bought a MOAB because it can do 90% of what a Rubicon can. Plus, it is luxurious in and out.
This video shows just how capable our jeeps are with 2 caveats: 2" lift and bigger wheels.
Edit: our family is coming from forever owning Audis and BMWs. I...
Anyone test their bluetooth connectivity? I'm pretty disappointed. The 8.4" Uconnect still uses old Bluetooth technology. When streaming video from a phone or tablet for example, there is a 1 second lag/delay between the audio and video.
Newer Bluetooth protocol such as AptX would have...
Whoever purchased a RUBICON today at Hendricks Jeep, Fayetteville, NC. Don't forget to mention you heard about them and their great deals through me (The guy with the Black & Tan JLU MOAB). I'll split the referral bonus with you.
Seriously, I hope you were able to get a great deal on your...
If you happen to test out the eco mode for a month please report back if it works and by how much. Every little bit of increase in gas mileage helps. (I know, I know, you don't buy a Jeep for its gas mileage)
