Offered by a private party in Pollock Pines, California, this 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Sport has been comprehensively rebuilt into a Rubicon-ready, purpose-driven trail machine with virtually every critical system upgraded. Purchased in April 2024 as a well-maintained grocery-getter with roughly 57,000 miles, the Jeep has since undergone an extensive transformation guided by a professional off-road outfitter and seasoned Rubicon Trail veterans. The result is a short-wheelbase JK showing approximately 56,700 miles with less than 500 miles on nearly all upgraded components, and an asking price of $35,000. The seller reports over $50,000 invested in the build.
  • Built With One Trail in Mind: This JK Sport was engineered specifically to complete the Rubicon Trail reliably, not just look the part. Every modification reflects real-world trail priorities: gearing, armor, clearance, steering strength, and driveline durability.
  • Drivetrain Upgrades Where It Counts: Both axles were rebuilt with 4.56 gearing, Eaton E-Locker differentials, chromoly axle shafts, heavy-duty ball joints, and trussing where appropriate. A custom heavy-duty driveshaft front and rear ties into an Atlas 2-speed transfer case with a 4.3:1 low range, dramatically improving crawl capability over the factory Command-Trac setup.
  • Suspension Tuned, Not Overdone: A MetalCloak 3.5-inch Gamechanger suspension with Fox shocks provides controlled articulation and proper geometry, professionally aligned by Stellar Built. Supporting components include weld-on track bar brackets, steering box reinforcement, and a FOX steering stabilizer to keep the Jeep predictable on- and off-camber.
  • Armor, Cage, and Recovery: Protection comes from a MetalCloak JK UnderCloak integrated armor system, custom DOM-tubing nerf bars, ExtremeTerrain fenders, GenRight liners, and a relocated EVAP canister. A full custom DOM cage, professionally designed, adds serious rollover protection. Recovery duties are handled by Outta Hand Fabrication bumpers, a WARN VR EVO 8,000-lb winch, and Baja utility lighting front and rear.
  • Interior & Trail Support Gear: Inside, the Jeep is outfitted with an S-TECH 4 rocker switch system for lockers and lighting, Kenwood head unit, Simpson 4-point harnesses, and layered storage solutions including drawer systems and lockable boxes. Trail essentials—air compressor, fire extinguisher, tools, scissor jack, OBD2 scanner, and alarm system—are already integrated.
Rather than starting with a Rubicon and paying a premium for factory hardware, this build focuses resources exactly where they matter most for hard trail use. The Atlas transfer case, locked and geared axles, comprehensive armor, and custom cage elevate this Jeep well beyond bolt-on builds, while keeping the lighter, more agile two-door JK platform intact.
