Thanks for the advice. I am starting to lean in that direction, but seeing what RedJeep78 did to his baby makes the decision tough. I will be honest and openly admit that my mechanical skills and ability to transform a SPORT S into something as special as he did are sorely lacking. I trust my abilities to install aftermarket bumpers, a winch, etc..., but I know lifts and shocks are out of the question for me at this point. Frankly, other than the esthetics, I am not sure I would every need anything more than locking diffs, sway bar, 4.10 gears and 33s for what I want to do. As I get older, I don't fancy climbing up slick cliffs in Utah or Colorado, though I would have done that 25 years ago.Ended up going with the JLRU, when I was shopping I priced out a Sport S, built it the way I wanted it and MSRP came to 44970, I then priced out a lift I wanted with new wheels and 33's which came out to approx. 5 to 6 thousand. With the Rubi build it came to 50970 and really don't plan to do anything to it. So did I really need some of the extras on Rubi ( Higher gearing, led's, disconnects, lockers, etc) probably not but that's an added bonus, so for the price difference of only a thousand or so I got the Jeep I wanted already built the way I wanted it. Just my two cents.
