Replying to: edf4 (Jan 09, 2007 6:08 pm) As far as not getting the Rubicon. There were a couple of factors: First, I got my fully loaded X at invoice ($21k plus change) and saved about $7K over a rubi with an auto. This extra money can be used later for serious upgrades like a winch, rack, rock rails, tires, wheels, and ARB air lockers which are superior to manually engaging diff locks. Second, insurance is quite a bit cheaper on my X. Third, I actually do not plan on doing much wheeling until my warranty expires, which will only happen in 3 yrs time!! : ) : ( I probably will get the itch before then, though. I got the auto because the Jeep will be my daily driver, I may occasionally tow something like a jet ski or two, and for the capability to crawl over obstacles off-road. I just hope I don't get accused of not being a true "Jeepy" or "Jeepster" or whatever the lingo is amongst Jeep aficionados. Once again, thanks |

While ARB make an excellent locker they still have to be manually engaged, and when compared to the locker in the rear of the Rubicon it's the Rubicon that comes out on top. The ARB is either locked or open, while the Rubicon's rear is either locked or limited slip. I just hope I don't get accused of not being a true "Jeepy" or "Jeepster" or whatever the lingo is amongst Jeep aficionados. I don't know what it is either, but you won't go far wrong if you just remember the 'wave'!

I realize i'm not in the right spot for talking about transmissions, but it seems like all of us 07 Wrangler people are on this blog. Does anybody think that the automatic transmission on the wrangler, mine is an unlimted 4x4 x s-pkg, has a hard time figuring out what gear to be in. For example going down a hill while not accelerating it will shift down, but abruptly and in a questionable time, and just doesn't seem very smooth, not really jerky, but not my previous 04 F-150 smooth. |

Usually Carmax has about as good a price that one can find on a NEW NEW vehicle. Around invoice is what they charge. This is what they're asking on an 07' Rubicon. ANYTHING but invoice here: Florida Final No-Haggle Price: $29,458 * National Base Price: $29,309 Processing Fee: $149 MSRP: (New) $29,810 Invoice Price: (New) $27,57 |

I live in Virginia Beach, and the dealers here just placed a $ 1,700 "Market adjustment" on the Wrangler Unlimiteds here. The best i could do here is slightly under MSRP! I have found a dealer in NC who will sell it for invoice, with no other dealer fees (processing fee, documentation fee etc). He will even deliver it up to 3 hours away for free. He calls it "Ebay" pricing. I will post his information if it works out as explained. It really sounds like a great deal. |
