Just think of Earle as our resident troll with a human side, somewhere
deep down. Like Bill, without the technical side. :)

He DOES have a case. Most Rubi owners are posers who will never take
their rig off road, or if they do, will not bother to learn the
skills and respect required for serious off-roading, thus endangering
the safety of everyone else.
This is not to say that ALL Rubi owners are a menace. I am sure that
Nathan C is a great guy to wheel with. But we're talking about
generalities, and I think the OP made a good point.

i really cant help but wonder what you guys base this generality on? maybe
its different here because im right beside ft. bragg, but ive yet to meet a
rubi poser. hell, if anything im the closest thing to a rubi poser i know
but only because i havent been anywhere yet that would test the limits of my
rubi.
> This is not to say that ALL Rubi owners are a menace.
im curious where the "most" or even "many" comes in. as i said, i havent
seen that around here.

Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon
Hi Lon,
I've been to Utah's National Monument containing the dinosaur
quarry. Have to drive through a whole lot of nothing to get there. But,
the short cut over the hill to get back to Mt. Pleasant near I-15 where
my Sister-in-law lived was beautiful.

I met a couple here. Couple that bought a Sport and Rubicon within a couple
years. Lifted the Rubicon, 35" tires, cool bumpers, the works. Won't go
'wheeling without putting on that magnetic body-armor stuff on. At least they
go wheeling, I guess...
