Hey everyone, this is my first post....

I'm looking to get my first jeep soon, but I can't seem to decide between sahara or rubicon. What are the advantages of both? I'm looking for something to drive to work city/highway driving, but on the weekends some off roading.

Any suggestions thanks

The Rubicon will have a better rear axle and a few other better things for wheeling but are gonna cost you a bit more then a sahara or base model. I say if you find onw you like regardless of model grab it.

Sahara is a trim package, Rubicon is an off road package that includes upgrades like lockers.
Rubicon if you can afford it.

Rubicons are certainly coveted, therefore are quite a bit more expensive. I wish I would have held out for one myself.

Tj or JK version? I belive they make an Unlimited Sahara Rubicon in TJ form.

^This^ JK or TJ version? Also, where do you live and wheel? Are you going to be rock crawling or muddin'?

If it has Rubicon in the name then buy it. Then proceed to beating the ****ing **** out of it, but not like someone who just doesn't care. It pains me more to see a perfectly good Jeep rolling down the road without a speck of dust on it than it does to see a Jeep all broken down.

The first gen Rubi axles (Lockers) leave a lot to be desired and gears for them are rather pricey.

You can build a better rig for a lot less than you'll pay for a Rubicon.

 

[RikRotorhead]

^ He's right. Great Jeeps are built not bought.

 

[Mumblewood]

I've beaten the piss outa mine and it's still going strong. And the gears cost more because there thicker, meaning better than standard D44 gears

That and even though you buy a rubicon, you still need to build it

OK heres what you do… find yourself a pinto, drop in a 460 in it with some Dana 60's, a 12" lift with a 2' body lift and some 44" boggers and call it good…

We have a couple of franken rigs here in town.

4 door purple lincoln town car. 4x4 W/31" wheels and tires
Flat black 70's station wagon. 4x4 W/33' wheels and tires

Then this unholy monster, I really should get a pic of. He lives 1 mile from me. He has a very clean 93 YJ with a polished hardwood 1/2 top. Matching polished wood Bumpers and flares as well! It's quite pretty if you are into the wood thing.
