Just my opinion, and everybody has theirs....
Rubi's are not all what they're cracked up to be. The only decent part is the T-Case. The axles are hybrids. Not true D44s, but a mixture of D30/D44 and D35/D44. You can't remove the factory locker and toss in an aftermarket one... stock is the only one that will work.
While you get instant lockers and such right away, if you plan on building a TJ up, it's cheaper to build up a Sport for cheaper with far better aftermarket parts. But if you're buying one to keep stock and use as a DD, then it would work well.
The new '07 TKs will still offer the Rubi package, and the Unlimiteds will be 4-doors.
