but no one seems to have a problem with the sahara.
You new here? I've had to defend the very existence of the Sahara since I've been here. :giggle:

I am still so confused by this thread....moab is 3k less MSRP than similarly equiped rubicon (the rubicon will have 4.10, lockers, sway disco, rear steel bumper but the MOAB will have enhanced rock rails and auto 4wd that the rubi doesn't have) if i get a base sahara it is 3000 less than similarly equiped rubicon but no one seems to have a problem with the sahara.

bottom line is the rubicon surcharge is totally worth it if you plan to use lockers, sway disco and 4.10s but the MOAB is a cool limited edition jeep that does not seem to carry any extra cost considering what it is equipped with.

and I owned a base sahara and recently traded it in for a base rubicon only because I am starting to off road more and wanted to jump to 35s without regear but I still think the MOAB is a really great edition
I think it’s more to with mud tires without the lockers,transfer case, sway bar disco, and having AT tires on rubi. It just not make sense, so it gets a poser rap, where the Sahara is marketed as a luxury wrangler, so it gets less flap from the hard core crew. In general it’s just good intended trash talk.

Did not de-badge her to look like something she is not, come on anyone can see she still has the sahara fenders and is lacking the red accents! The "MOAB" sticker on the white moab is grey with black trim, and to me it doesn't quite look right, so I removed it.

I knew it! You guys are jealous of the tires on the Moab, for a while I thought the world went mad when everyone was praising the KO :CWL:

It’s fascinating and even comical how some people are so committed to their view/opinion regarding the best Wrangler they can’t see a different perspective. Reminds me of an old, old drawing.

Is the lady old (Rubicon) or young (Moab)?

So looking at it in the large print I see a Young woman looking away, but zoomed out I see the "Old" woman.
