Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon
 

You have people from Silverton all wrong George. You and your "rich sissy"
buddies from Aspen, Telluride, Texas, California or wherever can buy all the
land and homes up here you want, but you're going to pay through the nose
for it now. If enough of you move up here I'll even sell my place to one of
you and move to Craig, Nebraska, or maybe Portugal.

Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon
 

This doesn't mean a hell of a lot to me. There are people who post all the
time who are idiots, and some people who hardly ever post but when they
finally have something to say it is worth reading. You haven't made it into
either category yet, but keep trying. ;o)

Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon
 

I think all of you who bash the Jeep Rubicon are just jealous that you don't
have one. I just finished the Jeepers Jamboree a few weeks ago, and went
with two of them. One was bone stock with 400 miles on the odometer, and the
other was lifted with 35s. The stock one had no problems at all doing the
entire Rubicon trail start to finish, and came out of it without a scratch.

So what if some people are dicks that drive them. That doesn't take away
from the fact that this Jeep is an awfully good one, and better equipped
than any other Jeep ever made. Concentrate on the vehicle, not some stupid
movie star promo, and so what if they have air conditioning. Heck, if it had
a in cab blender option I'd get that too. Nothing like a cool Margarita
while driving over rocks,with the cab cooled down to 70 degrees on a hot
day. I can still bolt a hi lift and a shovel on the back to maintain my
dirty sweaty rough and tumble off roader image if I want.
