It all comes down to personal preference and what terrian you normally wheel on. I have both an IFS (Passport) and a solid axle (unlimited Rubicon), everything being equal minus the axle difference, neither will out do the other.


I would agree with that. I've done a bit of wheeling with a stock Rubicon when my Rodeo was on 33s and only rear locker, and I always outdid him. Now he's got a 3.5" OME lift and swaybar disco's, and its almost even. There are spots where either rig has an advantage. My tires (Trxus and the old Cooper STTs) always give a better bite than the stock MT/Rs. Especially when it gets muddy. When he gets some better tires, I'd say its even.

Now if you were to compare a Rubicon Wrangler to a theoretical Rubicon edition Amigo. That would be really interesting, I'd like to see that match up.
