Either a Honda ATV, an options package for a Jeep wrangler, or a famous rockclimbing trail. :)

Its a place that if gone into, you are unable to return from...
or soemthing close.... It got its name from some river or creek or soemthing!!!














I took a Greek/Latin conversion to English Language course last summer...

It's a trail in the Sierras west of Lake Tahoe suitable (?) for a very short wheelbase only. Very popular with the "tough and not for show" Toy and Jeep crowd. A friend goes every year and uses his on-board welder about three out four trips patching somebody up so they can get out.

It is a river in Italy. Returning military heroes were not to cross the Rubicon so as not to upset the political balance in Rome. Caesar crossed it and in effect declared war on Rome.

for off-roaders, it is a company (?) like rancho or fabtech that makes lift kits. Jeep sells with Rubicon's installed. Probably some of the best "stock" kits out there for SFA vehicles.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!!!!):h

Rubicon Express is a Suspesnion Compay... Nothing to do with the Jeep Rubicon though....

The Jeep Rubicon simply has a 4:1 transfercase, 4.11 geared axles, Air-locking differentials front and rear and comes wiht 245 MT/R's... I have one...

I think you must be a tad confused, RUBICON EXPRESS has nothign to do with the JEEP RUBICON other than they make Suspension Systems for Jeeps and share the Rubicon Name..

I was wondering how in the world you didn't know what Rubicon was (at least in regards to the definitions I offered).:think: :think:


I see that you were trying to be crafty. Have a boring day in History class or something?

I originally thought it was a place in the US... The Rubicon trail. From reading 4x4 mags.

Then I had to look it up for sombody cheating on a crossword puzzle.

Crafty? Who me? :HiHi:

IFS is for BAD-A$$ Tow-Rigs... Not for Wheelin'!!! Thats why my 90's IFS is laying in the GOOF-OFF Pile, and a D60 is under my rig!!!

Nothing done to the motor yet. 4" Full Traction long arm kit with Bilstein 5100's. It has a lot of travel for a 4" and when I'm ready I just swap out the coils to go 6". 33" MTR's with Micky Tompson wheels. One chamber flow master exhaust. I didn't want to go 6" now cause I'm not ready to re-gear. The thing is bad enough already on the highway. I wish they didn't make the overdrive gear quite so tall. Oh, and I swapped out the fog lights for Hella 500's.

Here's my new project rubi. I almost went the duramax, but couldn't see myself in anything other than a Jeep. I've now owned 3. Going to build this puppy up (again) and buy a dura for a tow rig! :cool:

I'm a little surprised all of you guys kept the stock rims.... they're nice and all but..
