Rubicon at wife's work, stock. It looks lowered and the back is long? Is it an optically allusion?

Stock as when he bought it. Top may be different tho

It the holy grail of Wranglers. Likely the most sought after model they've ever made.

I know I'll get flamed for this, but the LJs have always looked dorky as hell to me. The proportions are just... off. I've said the same thing about the base level JTs. They look better proportionally with a little lift and larger wheels. Maybe the LJ would also but in the OPs pic, not so much.

The LJ's are one of the favorites. They were offered in 2004, 2005, and 2006. They have a very high resale value.

Opus, I’m right there with ya mate. It must be like cow tongue, “an acquired taste for the culinary elite”….LOL
