Painted fender flares on a Rubicon? You must have special ordered that from the factory - unless they've changed how they come for 2012. Looks sharp!

Either that or he brought rubicon stickers with him to the dealership :P

Nice ride

2012 jk's have the option for paint matched flenders. and... 3.73 axle gears are an option on the rubi's as well.

I can wrap my head around the paint matched fenders (even though it's not my thing.....), but I don't get putting 3.73's in a rubi :o

Congrats on the new baby Dan!!!!!

This one is actually the wife's.  Likely won't be doing many mods to this one...though I am going to try and talk her into letting me take it out on the 26th.

Ya, I don't love the matched flares but they aren't the worst thing in the world.  3.73's were a big no...I wouldn't have let her buy the Rubi if that's what was in there.

Haven't forgotten Rob.  We have a long time friend of myself and my wife's that sells at Crowfoot, so that's why I went there.



Now I just need to convince the wife that I should trade in the Sahara for another new Rubi...

Does it have the new pentastar motor? If so what's it like?
Title: Re: New addition to the family...

Yep has the new engine.  Has a lot more power. It actually sucks you into the seats a bit when you put the pedal down. 

I don't have any experience with the old 4.0L but I have read a couple of reviews that have said the new engine feels like the old one for usable torque. According to any dyno graphs I have seen you have about 95% of the usable torque at 2000rpm then it pretty much stays flat.

Sounds impressive. The 4 door sure could use the hp for some help.

This is the Dyno graph for all the reviews.
