Haha the wrangler guys are going to FLIP if this is true. I doubt Jeep would make such a mistake though

And I am thinking in the not too distant future of buying a low end JK Wrangler and upgrading things like axles, bumpers and the such. Still coming in less then a price of a Rubi. This will definitely kill those thoughts.

If this is true, then anyone with a current JK just had the value of their vehicle go up significantly.

Its not true. Theres already been discussion of it on JK-Forum.com.

Rubi sales would go through the roof in 2 years

Odd the IFS pic is the same as the KJ/KK's.

Guess the '11 JK's will have a uniframe design also since that IFS pic is designed for a uniframe using a upper tri-link.

I highly doubt the JK's will go IFS and SFA,that would be business suicide from the extreme cost of having 2 separate production lines for one model with 2 drastic different suspensions.

I have seen quite a few 2011 JKs. None of them were IFS.

don't they have different lines for each model right now because of the t-case, axles and other rubi specific options or do they do batches of rubi's on the same line as the JK? Wonder what the 4 door rubi would have in it?

They do but the base JK's and Rubicon JK's use the same suspensions,SFA and SRA,same mounting points no matter what model,same goes for the 4 doors.

no way in hell would Jeep be so stupid to take a perfectly great platform and ruin in by putting in a darn unibody bullpoop and IFS. If they do they, they can kiss a lot of wrangler owners bye bye

All JKs are built on the same line.

Just buy older Wranglers and never buy a new one, Or buy an older Zuki or Yota

Yeah, I'm not sure if someone who was in the market for a New Wrangler(tm) would substitute a pre 1987 Toyota 4Runner.

Samurai's are a popular vehicle to wheel

Yep and I have seen them with my own two eyes going down the line, even special models for other countries Armys over seas all one line. Pretty cool to see for sure!

How is that possible since they haven't been built yet?
