On a serious note, do any of you that bought a Moab wish you’d bought a rubicon, and be honest I won’t judge, just curious. I bought a Sahara originally it had a Dana 44 with lsd in rear and I thought it would work for me, but when I discovered in some situations I found myself in lockers would have been a lot safer, by not having to accelerate to get wheel spin to transfer torque. So I was just going to buy after market lockers, but that was going to be quite expensive, the way I wanted to set it up. So I sold it to friend of mine and bought rubicon. However, just being able to use lockers in 4 lo was unacceptable also. So I wired lockers to aux switches and now can use them anytime and travel at any speed. So my point is I was one of those people that wished I’d bought something different.
Would it be ok for me to paint the hooks on the front bumper of my Moab red?

I put this out there for the fun of watching who would jump on it. Hilarious

Obviously anybody who has a Moab COULD have had a Rubi - they're cheaper! :cwl:

We could have had Rubi if we wanted one.
We had our choices narrowed down to a Mojito Rubi or a Silver Moab. Price was nearly the same so that was not a factor. We are not first time Jeep owners, so we know the difference, we've had 5.
Basically we choose the Moab because
1- select track with the automatic is easier for my wife to use on the way to church or the mall or as DD.
2- we're not rock crawlers, our off roading consist of hunting, fishing and camping, some easy two track roads.
No regrets...
Feel free to bash our decision....lol
