    Well said sir you are a logical person with common sense. It seems common sense is not so common anymore.

    Jeep Liberty KK models 08 and 09 are nice also I’ve got a 2008 sport and it murdered in Florida sand last week after almost getting stuck it plowed right out and I had a bit of fun doing it lol

    Yes actually the fact that it has completely different axles is enough to seriously separate it from the rest of the wranglers. Dana 44's vs Dana 30's. Not to mention Front disconnecting sway bar front and rear electronic lockers, heavy duty shocks and mud terrain tires...

    it doesn't take that much to seperate the Rubicon from the regular wranglers off road. It has front and rear selectable lockers. If you aren't wheeling somewhere where you'd be spinning 1 rear or front tire, you probably aren't really wheeling.

    The Penstar does really well only if you get a good pair of cylinder heads.

    If you want it to go on sand you should probably get the Sahara model. Hope I helped.

    The 4 door version does just as well and has a smoother ride on the road........ so why is it unfortunate?

    I drive a Sahara 2 door...daily. It is my second jeep. Best vehicles I ever owned. Yes, they can get noisey at high speed. Yes, they have little cargo room. Yes, they will make you smile. No, you will never look back.

    the reason he most likely thinks this is because he searched 2013 jeep and this came up as the same thing happened to me

    Over-priced death boxes. Out-dated and Unsafe. Comes standard with "Death Wobble" and banned in China because they catch on fire. Did I mention the crappy quality?
