Re: Thought my Rubicon could fly - oops
Really wish I had so much money I could just jump a Rubi without a care in
the world... wow...
Jeeps aren't rally trucks... that said, take it to the dealer, tell them
what you did, and see how much of a dent (or not) that'll put in your bank.
I really wouldn't drive it around not knowing what you've done. If
something gives on the highway, it isn't just going to be your life at risk.
