I love the FRS and have not voted for it yet. And I still can't but its a close second. Focus ST Coup
I'll take the Jeep for some pass road fun in Colorado, Black Bear pass here I come! WRX for AWD fun on the forest roads of Southern Ohio.
I like your style! The factory Dana 44's are pretty weak so upgrade those... The 4:1 transfer case could be lower, so swap in a 4 speed Atlas... The stock Rubi electric lockers are a little weak and problematic, so change those out... Shocks... Really! Once you lift it they are gone anyhow... Thats about all but the sticker that makes it a Rubicon! Building a base model Sport makes more sense, but the Rubi is within the budget!
As an FR-S owner, I have to go with the WRX. My FR-S has been plagued with problems almost since day one, and incidentally the vehicle I am moving into is the WRX (STi if my cards are played correctly). The second vehicle is going to be the Rubicon 4 door, because I want a vehicle capable of wowing the kiddos not just on the street. I like the ST, but something tells me we have another SRT-4 on our hands and will be seeing a lot of these quick little boogers grenading between 60k and 100k. Great bang for the buck though! So to recap: WRX Rubicon
On my next build, I plan on buying a brand new 2wd 4 banger. Then currie F9 axles arb 6.4 hemi auto, Atlas,
If I would have kept mine, I probably would have stuffed an LS2 in it... Way too much stuff going on right now though.
Only a few hours away from the first round of the finals! No more new cars going up. I have a decent idea of what the winner is going to be.
