Looked at honda Rubicon today. I liked the looks of the machine and felt it was put together nicely, but my 450 es has more ground clearance than the rubicon and my 450es has only 7.7" ground clearance. The rear differential is where they should measure from. Did they measure the rubicon someplace else??????

 

10" under the motor plate and 8" under the rear differential.

 

If the Rubicon is anything like the rancher than it is really close to 10". One buddy of mine went through ruts on his 2x4 rancher better than a guy with a 450 with 27in blackwaters.
