From an third party source that's already seen one.
"since its in print i can comment....
Rubicon model later 4 door to be built.
32 " tires standard
auto disco swaybar
NO SHOVEL!!
i did not see the 1/2 door they speak about...we will have to wait n see
the top does in fact have sections...i like that.
fenders DO in fact come off for wheeling...keep in mind the Jeep is wider"
Sorry for the multiple pages but I couldn't get it to let me post multiple pictures.
I see some major downers - the front is ugly, the grill is awful.
The v6 that is in the liberties is a total gas hog, but should be interesting to see it in action. THE GOOD PART --- SAME DRIVETRAIN AS THE LIBERTY IS THE NEW TurboDiesel will be available in these. Then we are talking :jeep:

Ok, it's been a while now. What is everyone's impression now? I looked at a Rubi today at Petersons. (I know, I know, It's like I'm going over to the Dark Side).
I understand there is a 3" lift available. What about stuff for the engine to coax a little more out of that 3.8?
We had one priced, (I wanted to have the first 4 door Rubicon in Mtn. Home) with pretty much all the options, then I got the $34,000 sticker price and decided that I could wait.
I kinda like the new grille all cars need an update from time to time I'm waiting for the turbo diesel model is that gonna come in the form of the Rubicon and I wonder if I can get it in the four door if so I'm sold! :thumb::drive:
The New JK's are too BIG, It's the size of the Grand Cherokee now. I know bigger + strong = better in most eyes, but it's kinda going away from a compact wheeler, and turning into a FULL SIZE.
Pretty soon people will be talking about how they squeezed their Wrangler through this tight spot, that really wasn't that thight.

JK Production:2007–present Engine:3.8 L EGHV6 Wheelbase:95.4 in (2423.2 mm) Length:152.8 in (3881.1 mm) Width:73.7 in (1872.0 mm) Height:70.9 in (1800.9 mm)
Total length is actually shorter on the JK but it is 6" wider and 1.5" taller. If you consider that you can put larger tires on with less lift then it is actually shorter and I am not sure but I would bet that rim offset isn't as nessecary so the widths are probably fairly comparable.
I picked up a broshure yesterday. Here's some dimensions out of it (Rubicon specs):
Width
2Door - 73.7"
4Door - 73.9"
Overall length (Front bumper to back of Spare tire)
2Door - 163.8"
4Door - 184.4"
Height
2door - 72.4
4Door - 72.3
Also, this is out of the Jeep UK site: The Wrangler is offered over there with the 2.8 diesel. Same as the Liberty. Has something like 160hp and almost 300 ft. lbs.. Gets 21 or 22 mpg EPA. It runs about $2000 more than the 3.8 Gas engine in the Wrangler.
That is badass. I saw that forest green one at petersons here in Boise a couple weeks ago and thought it had some potential. This is on 37"s with a 4" lift. :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
The 37's make it look like it doesn't have a lift in the photos. I didn't go through all the photos but it would be cool to see it sitting next to a stock Rubi.
We got our December issue of Four Wheeler yesterday. It has a big article on the Mag doing a trail run in the new JK's in Africa. I haven't read the whole thing yet. Great timing.:thumb:
me and my little old lady saw a new 07 four door one and both gave it thumbs down! i'm guessing i'll have her stick with the 4wd 04 xterra-- its already been trail rated by me i can still hear her yellin at me in the back of my mind right now as i type this lol:cussing:
