you better sell fast then
I'm thinking something a little more capable of off road, like this !
But would you daily drive that if she came with it?
Yeah, but could you afford either one??
atleast I wouldn't have to worry that I might blow out the rear end !
Which rear end??
either one, maybe both at the same time !
It all costs, doesn't it???

I can say my experience doing lots of burnouts and power sliding and one or three 2nd gear clutch kicks on wet pavement as well as routine full throttle down dirt roads pretending I’m in a rally car with plenty of wheel spin I have not broken my lsd.
I have also broke a pinion shaft taking off hard in 2wd after a bearing failure in the dry.
I do always lock it in 4low due to this forums advice but now I’m thinking, is rubi 4low any worse than how I treat it?

Most people would be surprised where a unlocked Rubicon will take them. But most people are afraid of where a stock Jeep will take them.
I’m not worried where my Rubi will take me. I worry will it take me back.
Did the @jerrybransford mod a year or more ago.
My memory of my subsequent research tells me @mrblaine explained locking the rear is recommended in both poor traction - loose dirt with a bit of speed included (cornering), and in excellent traction (Moab) conditions - with a good explanation of the gazintas/gazoutas of course. It's in one of those threads.
It's one of my favorite mods along with seat risers
. Lock the rear in 2wd and let it rip. And it's so easy.

2 hours of my time for an ounce of prevention + cool aircraft switches.
And I like locking in 4-hi or 2wd.
Too bad your rear lug nuts didn't get the memo.
Damn those people like @John Cooper and @tr21triton that pretend to be your friends. That death duck just magically appeared on your bumper? I would have an easier time believing in Aliens or Joe not having Dementia, but I've seen both on TV.

Are you a midget/Tom Cruise? Seat risers are on my list along side neoprene seat covers and swamp ass.
Someone told me global warming is going to kill us all. Meanwhile, I'm freezing my ass off this week.
