I test drove a 2007 Ruby, Lifted on 37's. What a piece of Garbage, no kick, I had to smash the peddle down just to get her going. I felt like I was looking out submarine windows when I tried to do a shoulder check.
My TJ is hands down better. If I could, I would love to buy a 2006 Unlimited Rubi !!

 

Where are you in Alberta?

 

sold my 98 tj to buy an 07 rubi . the 07 is way more civilized and comfortable to drive but nowhere near the fun the tj was .havent been wheelin yet but the jk is a lot wider and it's supposed to be 3 inches shorter it feels a lot bigger to drive . as for the 3.8 im just hopping for the best !!

Great thread....been following the dialouge. I go back and forth myself as my current car ages....Wife drives the JKU daily. The TJ does have many positives vs the JK for sure.
Does anyone see any issues with picking up a 06' TJ with say 50 or 60,000 Kms?
I know low KMs is good....some lower milage Jeeps are a sign they were used only on the week-end. Would there be issues down the road with dried up seals due to poor lubrication.
(don't use it ya' loose it type of thinking??)

 

If you ever get down this way let me know, we'll go for a trail run with my club.

 

Just a quick question....did the Rubicon's always have locking axles ?
