is there anyone that has the new 2006 Rubicon in BLACK??? if so i would like to know if it scratches easy or not, i know it looks great in the showroom, but i also ride in some thick woods aside from mud and water so if it scratches easy, ill just go with green.

the dealers in my area stoped selling them because the black looked good untel you rode it I was going to order a black one and the dealer I whent to talked me out of it and showed me one after some one had it for a couple of months and it looked almost gray from the scratches from riding in the trees. but they will order it for you if you want one but dont keep them in stock

personally i like the 500 better, because of the low braking in first gear, it has plenty of power to go anywere you could or would take it, and you can also shift in and out of 2-wd/4-wd. as far as acceleration and top speed the rubi ruby wins hands down.top speed on foreman around 60, rubi is around 70.
The Rubicon has plenty of low end and is switchable 2/4wd as well....but no way in hell it'll do 70mph's, although yes it will take a 500 Foreman. Do you have a Rubicon? what a ridiculous thing to say! 70mphs?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
thought it went 70, my foreman goes 62 with just me on it.
62 ???? I doubt it. If it is a new Foreman 500....then maybe 58 wound right out on pavement down a very slight decline. My CTE will touch 60-61 under these conditions and a Foreman can not stay with me!
Might you be stretching the truth just a tad?
