Rubicon vs Moab

[SecondTJ]

Then look at the Sahara (Non MOAB) with the Limited Slip Differential (LSD) which is much better in snow then Lockers

LSD is better on snow covered roads, it’s not going to do much in “very deep snow”. Lockers will be much more helpful

You ain’t gonna take a Moab to Moab but a Rubicon to Rubicon. Get it?

I think it would be pretty reasonable to take a MOAB to Moab. There's more than just Hell's Gate there, and plenty of trails for a variety of rigs. And before you ask I am NOT going to take my Jeep to the Sahara desert.

The leather covered dash in the moab looks nicer than the rubicon as well

That’s a false statement.

I agree, rubicon dash is a big pile of shit.

Dude you have a Trans Am and you think the Rubicon dash is a pile of shit?

I know, the fisher price radio was dated in the mid 90s and GM was cheap. Other than that lots of cars from that era were full of plastic on the dash. Gotta figure its almost 20 years old now. But still turns a lot of heads.

I'll add my opinion to the mix - personally I prefer the leather-wrapped black dash on the Moabs (on the list of reasons I bought one), but I think the red and gray painted ones are pretty nice too. It's really personal preference.

Personally I don't like Trans Ams (except maybe the really old/vintage ones), but that one doesn't look too bad at all @BrntWS6

I had two at one point. A V6 Firebird and a Trans Am. Let’s just say I couldn’t wait for the 90’s to be over.

Whats sad is the 90s were over and GM was still putting that stupid radio in there.


Also I don't mind the rubi dash at all, I was having a bit of fun.

You folks complaining about the noise of the MT's on the Moab... WTF?!?! Including the Rubi dudes... You call yourselves "Real" Jeepers... Incredible... You want loud, come ride in my 06 TJ soft top. Any highway time, I've long ago surrendered my radio!

Our 2019 Moab rides like a Caddy! It's my Wife's daily driver, and she loves the sound of the MT's. "it's a Jeep she says..." Are we gonna rock crawl in it? No... but are we going to hit the green and blue trails here in Arizona with it, you better believe it!!!

To be fair it’s not like the radios of the early 2000’s were a much of a technological leap forward themselves. The entire model was headed to the gallows by then and they had to match that 90’s puffy grey plastic interior.
At the end of a generation is when they clean out the parts bin. That’s how the 2018 JK is nearly indistinguishable from a 2012.

I thought the same thing on my old Rubicon until the tread blocks started getting chopped up and it felt like driving an old grain truck to work.

Yup, 4th gen was done and so was pontiac. I get why they did not change anything.
