I know of a  certain un-named person who used to frequent this site who knew the warranty was about to run on his new Rubicon and decided since the transmission was the most expensive thing to replace that he would try to break it by yanking orange trees out of the ground.

he tried for the better part of a day to get up some speed and yank orange trees out of the ground.

eventually the Rubicon won.

he still has the original transmission in it after doing that a few years ago, and it still runs like a top.

I'll say I have moved a 2,000 pound trailer around a couple-acre lot in the sand with my Rubicon without much problem,,,,I haven't tried to move my 3,000 pound trailer around yet, but I don't think it will have much of a problem.

for a workhorse that can play as well,,,,yes it's a good quad.

come on out to the Motoplex and you can ride mine and possibly the other one that was used to snatch orange trees as well.

My dad And I both have a rubicon in fact both 05s and we have never had a problem with them... Pull a 18ft trailer like its nothing and even pulled an old camaro around too. It a great work horse! Also it doesnt require as much maintenance as the other ones
