Just got back from werribee jeep and took one for a test drive!

They have a black rubi unlimited there. Drive was for about 5 mins, so nothing major. Feels soooo much more refined than the previous models, **** quiet too. Instead of driving around to main road entrance, i drove over the gutter and grass onto the main road, lol. Def cant wait to get mine now!!!!

Still as usual, they have hardly ANY idea about their product. No literature, no nothing. I was pretty much answering all my own questions, and new about 10 times more than the dealer! They know that the rear license gets relocated to under the taillight, but unsure if its a goosneck bend around the bumper, or if the bumper gets replaced. Also, no idea on spare parts or anything like that.

Sweet ride though, as I havent had a wrangler of my own before, you really do feel like king dick on the road :P

Dont mind the language, just impatiently and excitedly waiting now.......

... This gearing thing is a bit of a puzzle. If you want the tow package.. you should be getting Dana 44's and 4.01 final drive... 'full stop'. I just can't see any logic in bringing in any that don't have that setup as standard..whether they be Unlimited or two door... diesel or petrol. The 4.01 rear..in the sport.. renegade or dare I say it 'Sahara'.. gets an option on a rear locker... what are the chances of that one ?... Won't press my luck... but 4.01 's shouldn't be pushing the friendship.. and it should be on all, be they manual or auto.

Just finished watching the xtreme 4x4 shows buildups of the Quadratrac Unlimited (Itunes US$1.99 per show download )

I reckon they'll be a good thing.
