On October 5th, 2002 Warren took the new Rubicon to a 4x4 event that was being held at a local delaership by the local 4x4 club.
They had a show and shine and a 20 degree ramp to test your vehicles flex....
Keep
in mind that the only modification that Warren has made at this time is
the addition of front sway bar disconnects. Nobody there could believe
that this was a stock vehicle! I did some research on the web and
found that Warrens stock Rubicon has just slightly less that a Wrangler
with a 3" Rubicon Express Extreme lift kit. The Rubicon Express
equipped vehicle ramped 890. A stock TJ (coil springs) ramped 650,
and Warren ramped 857!
There were other TJ's and CJ's at the event that did the ramp. Of course, there were setups there that beat Warrens ramp score. But Warren also noted that there were modified vehicles there that did not beat his score...not bad for a stock vehicle covered by a 7 year or 70,000 mile warranty!!
At least with the Rubicon, if your break, your under warranty, unlike a lifted and modified vehicle!
Warren
had his tires aired down and in this picture you can see the rear tire
showing a lot of flex.
Like
we have said before... look for more pics and trip reports coming soon!!
