If you want to put D60s on, you are only going to do that to run a 37" tire or up. So it is going to cost $3-$7K per axle, then you have to start swapping out everything else to support the larger tires


What else are you swapping out? maybe adding a steering assist, if you really want it.

A lot of the options on a rubi are builder basic. if you plan on wheeling, buy the base model(if new) and inf used, try to get lucky and find one of the rare 2wd models for dirt cheap

but if done right will be around $50K


And this is not far off from a Rubi, except you will have a rig that can handle twice as much

umm....none of those upgrades should hurt your warranty

This guy and others seem to know what they are talking about..
But a base model and build it yourself, if you're looking at 50k after upgrading to Dana 60's you'll have a beast of a Jeep.
Also, why would people waste money on an overpriced Mopar Lift? The great thing about Jeeps is the huge aftermarket accessories scene. And anyone who thinks that Mopar Skids and Sliders would do the job off-roading don't know what they're talking about.
