you must not have looked very hard, let me introduce you to the search function. If you will look towards the top of the webpage you will see a black bar with various options on it; User CP; Cherokee Photos, etc. 3 options over from the right of the bar is the search function, use it love it and treat it like your best friend.

Thank you and welcome from all of us here at Cherokee forum, enjoy your stay

Front and rear lockers are pretty common... So I guess it would be comparable to a Rubicon, but imo it doesnt deserve to be called one. It could be called a Rubiclone though...lol A Rubicon is a Wrangler that earns its status from be modified from the factory. But if you have the chance to install front and rear lockers, Id go for it...

I think its a valid idea. Go for it. Yes it has been done but so has most every thing else.

Creating a rubi is not just wheels and stickers. Upgrading axles, 4.1 TCs, Air lockers or the like would be a good start. I was just saying if a goal was to create sometihng like a rubi. Do so, we all started with a goal or inspriation.
