Looking for opinions on two TJs

[psdavidson]

No, i didn't mean a new one. Why not have 2 tjs, that's all. Alternate driving them, miles don't add up so fast. Twice the enjoyment, one a beater, one a grocery getter

Oh I wasn’t understanding. I got a better deal! I have a company truck with a fuel card.
But on my days off I give the little Jeep heck. Honestly I wish I could drive it everyday but sometimes I get called out for work and I need to have my work truck with me at all times except on days off. I just moved into a new house my neighbors must think I have a small car lot with 2 jeeps and 2 trucks out side. I can’t get in my garage with my motorcycles and atv’s. The wive said I need to start clearing stuff out. She says I’m a toy hoarder LOL. I say I’m a collector

New red pics show ~1" transfer case drop (in case it wasn't noticed). So likely a 4" drop without SYE (and Rubi branding?).

Edit: I guess it is a Rubi then, just saw your last post.

More I thought of this I find it weird. I read you don’t need to do the drop on a rubicon. Do you need to do anything to the front drive shaft?

Well, I don't have a Rubicon myself so hopefully others will chime in to confirm what I am about to tell you. From what I understand, Rubi's can get vibrations if they are lifted too high without moving to a double cardan driveshaft. But, as you said, they can get away with more lift than a regular TJ without requiring an upgraded DS because the transfer case output is shorter, thus allowing the rear driveshaft to be longer. This makes the pinion angle less severe than a regular TJ as it is lifted. But, there is a limit of lift height before vibes ensue, so this is why you will see a Rubicon with a small drop once in a while. This one seems excessive to me with a 4" lift, maybe they over did it a bit.
