for those of you driving relatively stock JK's on the sand dunes
how do they do?
1) what year do you have?
2) is it a rubi or not?
3) are you using low or high range climbing hills?
My reason for asking is this, I'm looking to buy one, and I'm in the air on buying new or used, and rubi or not.
Looking at prices of new to a couple years old, looks like I'd get a brand new Rubi for close to the same price as a couple year old used one.
My problem with that is this: the TJ rubi did not do as well as a non rubi in the sand, high range wasn't always enough to climb hills, and low range was too low.
Is the new motor (introduced in 2012) enough to power the JK up all the hills, even on the super soft sand days, in high range?
If not then I would guess going into low is too low unless putting bigger tires on, which I don't plan to do for a long time.
