I have a couple comments as a newbie. I currently have a 01 totally original (unmolested) sport. It does not have the 44's. Otherwise it has been great. It has seen almost no offroad use. However, my situation has changed. I plan to start using it on my ranch including pulling a rotowiper in a swampy area to kill weeds. The rotowiper is about 12' wide and weighs about 400 lbs. therefore the load is minimal. I was thinking about a used rubicon mainly for the axles. Until today I was even considering a new rubicon. On the JK forum it talks about everything being computerized. While electronics can certainly do wonderfull things I have to ask myself do I really need all of that wonderfull stuff. Being held hostage by the dealer and raped at their choosing after the warranty is out would be no fun!
Scotty had a saying "THE MORE THEY OVERTAKE THE SEWER THE EASIER IT IS TO CLOG THE DRAIN" Jeep can keep their electronic crap, look in consumers report at the poor reliability of Mercedes products due to their failed wizardry. I think I will keep my 01 sport or possibly look for a pristine older and proven technology rubicon. I am not convinced I need the 44"s.
Remember KISS keep it simple....
Your comments and advice is appreciated.
