Can you guess what's wrong with this Jeep?

Gladiator Rubi wheels just look better.

I agree. I’m not a fan of the stock JL Rubicon wheels. They look too much like a flower... Pretty much every other 5-spoke wheel design offered on every other JL/JT trim looks much better.

You deflowered a Rubicon?

I hope it was old enough, wouldn’t want you to get in trouble with the authorities…:lipssealed::facepalm:

(Just Kidding!)

I have a Rubicon that I put Gladiator wheels on (I like the muted color). Does that mean I'm trying to front as a Gladiator?

You're wrong, but by all means don't let that stop you...

The buyer (in this case me) chose the take-offs not to look like a Rubi, but to get the 33" tires they wanted - plus nicer wheels - for less than 25% of the cost buying new tires alone.

Face it - very few people outside this group can look at those wheels and know where they came from, so putting those take-offs on my Sport would be a piss-poor way to make it look like a Rubi. And for those who are in the know - it is very obvious that there is nothing else on my Sport that looks like it came from a Rubi, so again - those take-offs are a piss-poor way to make it look like a Rubi. So, tell me - how was my cost-driven choice of tires/wheels an effort to make my Sport look like a Rubicon?
My sport has rubi wheels, they called it a freedom, lol. They are all wranglers, w/e.

Lol. That's where I bought my 2019. They weren't exactly on top of their game. Took them 3 days to find the 2nd key fob. Took them about 3 hours to locate the Jeep from their online listing.

I wonder if I can order a Willyscon. I can get a Dana 44 up front and a Dana 30 in the back.

Really? Here you just need a second passenger or a hybrid. We have special plates for hybrids.
California needs 3+ or you have to pay. I have seen people pay 5.50$ for a 4 miles stretch.

5 bucks says this Jeep will be seen later in life with a orange extension cord coming out of it somewhere and plugged into something
