If you really want it for off-road use, you are almost better off buying an X, throwing in an Atlas and a couple of 60's, may work out at a little more when all is said and done, but would be a much stronger setup.

The MSRP on the Rubi was I interested in was definitely close to $33K, but that was an Unlimited with auto, dual roofs and a few other goodies. I'm sure the base "X" was $18-19K, but that might have been the 05 price.

I agree about building up. If I wanted real rock-crawler, I'd buy a ten yr old TJ or 4Runner and modify it. I don't think many factory Rubis are sold to hard-core trail drivers.
