2005 Jeep Wrangler TJ Rubicon | 4.0L | 6-Speed Manual | 124K Miles | Clean Title

Clean-title, enthusiast-owned TJ Rubicon we've owned and enjoyed for the past 12 years. Always a second/recreational vehicle, garage kept and maintained by a mechanically knowledgeable owner. Thoughtfully upgraded over the years with quality components while retaining what makes the TJ Rubicon such a desirable platform.

Most importantly, this isn't a Jeep we're afraid to use. We would have no hesitation getting in it today and driving it anywhere in the U.S. After 12 years of enjoying it, we're simply ready for the next project.

CONDITION
The frame is solid and presents very well for a Midwest TJ of this age. There is age-related surface oxidation on portions of the undercarriage, axle housings, suspension/steering hardware and exhaust. There is also some minor surface rust around portions of the body/door area.

We've intentionally photographed the underside closely so prospective buyers can see the Jeep as it actually sits.

One small windshield rock pit has been present for years without spreading. Original seats show some wear, including a tear in the driver's lower cushion; currently protected by black seat covers. Carpet was removed because we regularly enjoyed the Jeep with the doors and top off.

Bestop twill top and windows are in excellent condition.

Minor occasional oil seep/drip consistent with an older 4.0L. Seatbelt indicator remains illuminated, although the seatbelts function normally.
