Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon

Well, of course! Would there be any other kind that any self-respecting
Rubicon owner would order?? :)

Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon

Thanks!! I come up with good ones now and then...... Frankly, my next Jeep
will be a Rubicon. My CJ is quite good still, so I am giving Chrysler time
to invent a 12V blender that can actually crush ice. In the mean time, let's
go wheeling and stop complaining about new Jeeps. They are much better than
anything older, and while I think they should all come from DC with a
lift,at least 33s and a D60 rear. that might be next.....

Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon

Heh! Sure a factory lift. Something else for the "veteran Jeepers" to
cry about. :)

Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon

No kidding! My uncle is a veteran jeeper. He hasn't wheeled in 25 years
(veteran?) but any Jeep that has anymore than what he had is "new fangled
crap". What a sorry attitude. We as customers, or potential customers of DC
should be lucky they still have an interest in keeping us happy, as opposed
to building low rider junk with 4WD and soccer ball holders. Front and rear
dash controlled lockers, a 4:1 transfer case, and the friggin JEEP emblem in
the same place it has been for decades should be making all of those
"veterans" happy. Instead, they sound like a bunch of blue jays on a friggin
fence post crying "new crap" "new crap", without any knowledge of what the F
they are talking about.

Yes, I have had a few beers today while cutting down a pain in rear peach
tree, and mowing the lawn after 2 weeks without a cut. I will now go back to
regular old Red Racer yappng about how good aluminum radiators are, and why
everyone should run a 160 thermostat. But, a Rubicon is what thy offer. If
you don't like it, buy an old CJ, or a square headlight thing and spend 10K
making it into a manly Jeep. I'm going for the new stuff. They are cool, and
capable, even with the AC on and the blender running. The rocks are all the
same size guys....
