Rubicon without blinking.

The Avalanche? What the heck did they do to it? Why all the plastic cladding?

Is that supposed to look good?


Dude, get the Rubicon, that is bad ***.

Yep, Rubicon hands down. Buddy just got back from AZ and said they where out playing with his uncles new Rubicon with a 3" lift. He said the thing is a blast offroading and is very street friendly.

Same here, I think that the Avalanches look good. Especially when you get new rims etc...

The Rubicon is nice. If i were planning on doin alot of offroading, i'd pick it. I like the avalanche too. If i were planning on doing some offroading, but still want to have something comfortable to drive, with good room for other passengers and some cargo, definitely go with the Avalance. It's better all around I think. Depends on your lookin for though.

Me, I prefer my SS to both of those!

I would vote for the Jeep unless the Chevy was a newer model without all of the plastic cladding. The Jeep is sweet!

yup.....

the avalance is nothing special.. sure it looks funky... and the window pops out, but really, its nothing more then a normal pickup.....


the Rubicon is the easy choice if you're going offroading, or just want to have a fun, cool car.. anyone that knows anything about jeeps is going to be jelious...... lol.

if you want a pickup..... there are ALOT better options out there..

there was a jeep at the carshow tonight with slicks and wheelie bars on it

you COULD get an auto car, especially if your neighbor is that crazy. buy an auto f-body for 10k-15k and you will have a nice 13k-8k to go nuts with. thats enough dough to build exactly what you want (maby). a nice auto daily driver with a forged motor and a blower.

Depends on what YOU want it for. Saying that, I would want the Rubicon. The Rubicon is one of the best wheeling vehicles ever, certainly the best Jeep. It's almost worth what they are asking for it, buy a slightly used one and it a great buy.

The Avalanche is for posers and sporty soccer moms. JMO! To anyone that has one,,, no offence intended.
