RE: Willys vs Rubicon specific question

[AMT]

If you lean more towards the Rubicon you could get the Full Time 4WD as well not getting the LSD. Not personally experienced with it but from what I understand it helps in wet/snow/ice roads.

Don't know where you're located and what kind of logging roads you have, but I have taken my Willys just about everywhere most Rubicons have gone in my area and done just fine. Still trying to fine places to use my winch. Hasn't happened yet.

Beware the fan boys. If you were on a powerstroke forum they would be telling you you NEED deletes, tunes and a 4 inch pipe. I love how strangers love spending other peoples money LOL.

Is that a sales pitch?

Well, now that you mention it, I just put my 2021 on craigslist yesterday, haha.

That should make for some interesting offers.

Dealers will give you a much better deal these days if you order. It doesn't go against their allotment from Jeep. And you can order exactly what you want.

Downside of ordering is that it can take a long time, depending on the order.

Again, awesome advice all the way around. I have thought about the Gladiator but wasn't sure if it was as customizable as the Wrangler.

I love the truck but the fact of the matter is that is like driving a F***ing school bus. I have always driven a truck but usually a half ton extended cab short bed. The long box crew came in very handy when we moved this last year but I don't see myself needing that much truck going forward. The weird thing is, I am 6'5" and am very comfortable in my wife's JLU Rubicon. I kept hearing how cramped it would be but I don't feel cramped.

Low def and i dont have big screen

Works on the 8.4 Uconnect only.

Cargo camera input is not a Hi-Definition input like the backup camera, so the video quality will not be as good! This is a high-quality standard definition (480i) camera. There is no way to add a high-definition cargo camera input to the JL radio.

Maybe a Gladiator would be the best choice.

I took your advice The Last Cowboy and went and looked at the Gladiators. The test drive clinched it for me. I wound up getting a 2021 leftover Gladiator Rubicon. My kids have named her THE KRAKEN Lol.

Thank you everyone for your advice. This is an awesome forum. WE are now a two Jeep vehicle household.
