#1 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon makes it into the final round of the search for the true off-roader.
by Steve
JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON — With all things considered (mostly price!) this would be my pick if I had to pick an ultimate off-roader.
The Wrangler has been around for some time and is truly capable of off-road directly from the factory. Jeep Wranglers are also easily upgraded with heavier suspensions, transmissions, tires, lift kits, and engines. The idea behind the Rubicon was to do all of that at the factory, so the lift, and heavier suspension are under factory warranty.

The Rubicon was built for rock crawling; it was even tested in Moab, UT where flocks of off-road enthusiasts travel for spring break to test their skills on the hills. Just looking at it and its beefed-up suspension, massive tires, and off-road add-ons, it’s no doubt that this one is serious.
