Even Rubicons get stuck
Went wheelin' the other night in my buddy's Rubicon (4" lift with 33" BFG
A/T's). We ventured a little too far into the Louisiana clay. His tires caked up and just spun. It sure would be nice if the lockers worked in high range; he just couldn't get any mud-slinging speed in low range. What really pissed him off is that I pulled him out effortlessly with my 89YJ, Peugot Tranny, 3.07 Open diff., 2.72 LR, with 31" BFG M/T's. The right tire goes a long way. (He wouldn't let me take any pictures!) Jim 88 Grand Wagoneer 89 Wrangler 00 Grand Cherokee |

Re: Even Rubicons get stuck
Even with the modification to have locked wheels in high range, yes you can
still stick a Rubicon and any other locked Jeep for that mater. That's why we have a winch and always travel in groups. But I'm sure it was a great feeling pulling out the new Rubi ! -- JimG 80' CJ-7 258 CID 35" BFG MT on 15x10 Centerlines D44 Rear, Dana 30 Front.
