i'm just wondering is there a big difference between the Sahara and the Rubi? Like i didn't want leather seats, or the other bells and whistle. Cause i know i'll be itching to mod something. i already want to raise it 4", will it void any kinda of warranty i have on it, if i do raise and stick some big tires on it.

The mustang sleeping till next year when i turn 25 and my insurance will a be bit cheaper i hope.
welcome to the form,

The difference between sahara and a rubi, is the rubi has locking diff front and rear and electric anti sway bars disconect to give extra motion in your suspention direct from factory instead of adding it in afterwards and bigger mud terarain tires, making it a very capable offroad vehicule direct from factory, not to many offroad vehicule come from factory offroad ready and the rubi is in the top 3,

as for the Jeep thing , if you wheel you will get it, I had almost every type of vehicule out there, from muscle cars blown to the hilts, to sports cars and even some little zipy mini coopers ext... If you get the jeep thing you will be selling the mustang to upgrade the jeep in know time, or it will become the grocery getter , like don't get me wrong there is nothing more great in going fast and cornering on rails but it is still parking lot candy, as to when you get the jeep thing every scrach will put a smile on your face, in a mustange you see a pot hole and complane while slowing to avoid it, in a jeep you aim for it,

so good luck with you jeep, And from one who gots the Jeep thing I just hope you get it

Or you have to become one of the long haired freaks.

We had a lot of snow this year and there is still some around up in the trails. I was sitting on my skid plates (snow was 48" deep) so I am looking forward to my lift kit...and I can't wait to get new tires when mine die

so i picked her up on Saturday. Already have almost 400km on it, I love it, the thing sits higher then i thought, its a tank!. so far so good, wish it had a bigger engine...ahha i still want a 4inch lift and bigger wheels!


The only complaint i have is the doors, you gota slam them, for it to shut.


thanks again to every one, and for answering my questions.

Hey five-oh,
if you got the money, they got a kit for dropping a Hemi into the wranglers...

Glad you like the new rig, loved mine from the moment I got it and have continued to enjoy it. I am constantly amazed at how capable this mom-mobile is, blows my mind.

you wont mind slaming the doors this summer when you go topless and doorless, and for that added thrill put the windshield down its like driving a super tank Harley that goes everywhere, So slam those doors shut it il just remind you what you can do with one vehicule, have fun

How High are you going for the first time, and what size of wheels are you getting, also sine your new to the jeep thing I just want give you some advice DONT FORGET EXTRACTION equipment,a stock jeep can go just about anywhere you wont know how far that is till its to late, it can be driver error, equipment failer or brakege, ether way you will be stuck and need to get out, So a winch or hiLift jack can help alot, straps slings or chain (chains are dangerous always look out ) that are raited for the weight of vehicule and them some,

I dont know where my GC can go, but I have been stuck in my last jeep where it took a bulldozer to get me out, there was mud all the way to the hood the entire truck was swallowed up ( sorry no pic I was working and didn't have a camera,) I was working on drills and I had the mentalaty that my truck will get to the job site every day wherever that is and I only got stuck 2 times the whole summer, what a blast, anyhow think extraction equipment as standared equipment to bring

And Good luck getting stuck! if you don't make it the first time try again could be just driver error

have fun
