Is the Jeep rubicon avaliable over there . Do you have one and how do you rate it ? It may have a different name there , its TJ shaped but has the factory fitted diff locks and bigger tyres .

I believe you can buy one, but its not as per the USA version, all it is over here, are some differant wheels, and stickers.
I lookwed ages ago, and was most dissapointed.
Next year when the diesel wrangler is out, land rover better look out, sticking a transit engine, and dirt hungrey dash in the old girl wont help much. :cry:

What a shame the rubicon is not avaliable in the Uk . It is a great motor and very capable off road . I am looking at a new 6 speed at the moment which you can get for about £ 15000 .

I can't get my head around diesel Jeeps, must be Me.  I keep fancying another but it will be a straight six when and if.

You can now get full conversion kits to put a V8 in a TJ. CJs and YJs are even easier.
