I was just wondering if anyone has climbed any big hills with a rubicon and a 450ES, does the rubicon outclimb the 450 quite a bit?

 

IT's not even close. The Rubicon wins hill climbs easily. Not trying to tick you off, but the Rancher will give the 450es some trouble also. It flat out pulls better with the new front diff, if it had just a bit more power it would easily out climb a 450. I would give you a pic of the hill we tested our machines on. However right now it is under snow, just have to take my word for it. Later, Scott

 

How does the Rubicon do it tricky off camber places? Is it stable, does it fell like its going flip and make a greasy spot on the trail with you?
We have a hill named Heart Attack and that is proper name for this rut infested rockpile of alabama red clay that is 1600 feet long. When I ride this hill my 86 honda 350 4x4 spends most of its time on three wheels. That alone can be enough to give yoiu a Heart attack. Again does it do well in that kinda place?
