I hear you on the heater.... I can see even with my Liberty they do have some great heaters. I tried the one in the Rubicon...and yes it does blow some serious heat out of it.... now they just need to fix/ replace the heater control so it has more than just defrost. Deal is still pending, makes me wonder why there are so many skeletons in this Jeeps closet...... the thing that ticks me off more than anything, some dealers are only offering me auction price for my diesel liberty,,,no way will I give them a $5000.00 deal!! Anyway, thanks for all your help/replies,,,, sure hope I can join the ranks of the Wrangler owners, I also have a deal pending on a new JK...maybe I should go that route.... but love the in line six!!

Put it in 4lo and 1st gear and jump out of the jeep, it will climb anything and never even stall. That's what got me hooked, I'm sure the other Rubi owners will agree. Its an amazing machine, not that the liberty is not but the Rubi is awesome! I think you would be happy with either but I'm personally biased towards the TJ. Good Luck with the dealer.

Ahhhh, soft tops are overrated. Get a hard top for the cold Michigan Winters. For summer, well, get your tub LINE-X'd and get a safari top. It was pouring on the way into work this morning. I don't care, water will run off the back of the safari top into the back of the jeep and out the drain holes. LINE-X = rust inhibitor, gotta love it. When I can afford a hard top, I'm getting one.

Lockers: they should engage right away. This is not always the case though. I have had more problems with my front locker than anything else.

Finally traded off my Liberty CRD for my new to me '05 Rubicon. Didn't really want to give up the great mileage on my diesel, but now I feel more worry free when ever I want to go for a ride. Sure love the beast so far, just need to buy some goodies for it now..haha. I know you are thinking lift, wheels and tires........ all in time....haha. Here is a link to a few pictures of my rig.... hope you like. http://www.gwkweather.net/id5.html

very nice
I like the TJ unlimted the best
Did you get a soft top also?

If not and you are thinking of getting one steer clear of the Bestop Super top
I just put one on the TJ and it SUCKS to say the least
I would get the OE style top first

Dont be a dum dum like me and lay the hard top against a tree you can not get the mark out

Yes it came with the dual top option, in fact the soft top is still installed laying in the back. According to the owners manual, you are not supposed to have both installed at the same time. So I guess I will have to pull off the hard top and either leave it off for now and use the soft top, or take out the soft top and put the hard top back on. I did notice on of the clevis pins on the frame behind the sunrider slide handle is missing. Not sure if it is supposed to be a screw or some sort of pin. Have to hit the dealer up to see if we can figure it out.

Ahhhh, sell your soft top. Just have your tub LINE-X'd, get some Bestop seat covers, and get yourself a Safari or Bakini top. Theres your summer ride right there. I can get you a 10% discount on the LINE-X.
