It seems like the 2005 and up Rubys go slightly faster.

i looked it up and the foreman and the rubicon are actually very different. the rubicon has a liquid cooled 4 valve engine that produces about 34 horsepower while the foreman has 2 valves, is aircooled and has 26 horsepower

You are correct, but other than the drive train they are very similar.

Yup, other than Engine, Drivetrain, and other smaller items, they are very similar machines built on almost identical frames, allowing Honda to save some money by not having to have two completely different product lines for them because they share a lot of the same parts.

I didn't buy our Rubicon for speed, at 55 mph I'm afraid to even fart. LOL

i went bogging this weekend and the tires were a hit. i got through more with my rubicon, than my friends with there lockers could. i think with these tires, this thing is better in the mud than my outlander

So you put 27s on, any major problem? Any modifications to allow for turning?
