2016 Rubicon first impressions

For all the hoohaa about how weak these engines are….. It has all the snap I’ll ever need on the farm and hunting camp, and then some.

Not a speed demon… but wasn’t meant to be.

Easy steering even though it doesn’t have power steering…. MUCH easier than my previous Polaris.

Its also nowhere near "tippy" as the Polaris on a hill side… The Polaris would just as soon roll over as it would anything.

Excellent throttle response from the fuel injection……

1st gear is perfect… A "bulldog" gear, plenty low enough…. Not needed for normal use, 2nd gear is plenty for pulling out unloaded, even from a stop on steep hills.

I’m perfectly happy… Been grinning all day.

A quick pic I snapped while checking the fences today…
