Collecting this Bad Boy tomorrow - Excited
I’m guessing it’s the petrol engine. 24 mpg would match my experience. I added steel bumpers a winch and bigger tyres and it dropped to around 21mpg. It’s not great but not terrible either.Back home now after a long day collecting our new toy.
Averaged 24mpg at around 70mph over 200 miles - is this OK?
First Mod will be fitting the Rubicon Front Steel Bumper I purchased a few weeks ago.
Then I'm looking fit bigger Tyres on the stock Wheels & suspension. Looking for a Tyre size that's a little taller & wider - Won't be doing any Hardcore Offroading, just the odd Trail, Beach etc.
Any suggestions????
It’s all about pedestrian safety legislation. So a huge plastic bumper and no tow hooks. I ditched mine as soon as I could!You’re in United Kingdom, right? It’s weird to see that bumper on a Rubicon. I’m surprised it doesn’t have tow hooks. Still a great looking rig.
No hi-rise fenders either! Is it illegal to upgrade to them or are manufacturers just not allowed to equip them on new vehicles?It’s all about pedestrian safety legislation. So a huge plastic bumper and no tow hooks. I ditched mine as soon as I could!
No they’re not illegal but we get smaller OE tyres too soo that makes a difference. The lower ones don’t offend me, actually I think they look better balanced. There are quite a lot of differences. we get 4hi auto, cv joints, narrower axles....No hi-rise fenders either!
