I think the engineers had to err on the side of caution. Having worked on
the manufacturer side of the auto industry for many years, in the current
climate of litigation I find the Rubicon something of a miracle in that the
concept got past DCs General Counsel's office. Bravo to DC for having the
guts to produce a great Jeep and accept the litigation risk.

hi dave,
im sure the technical answers have already been explained in the many
responses youve gotten already so i just want to ask a question. typically
the rubicon appeals to a particular type of jeeper. as such im just curious
what motivated you to buy a rubicon over an x, sport, or sahara? the reason
i ask is that if you dont know what lockers are, why pay the additional
money for them? im not suggesting theres anything "wrong" with buying it,
im just wondering why you would spend $6,000 more for features you dont
understand or know if you even need/want them.
