Need advice on 2006 Rubicon purchase

See if they send you some pics of underneath. How long of a drive would it be from you?

650 miles
Hard to tell, but zoomed in on this area.

you are rushing this. Take 96 days or 96 weeks instead. You'll be better off. I'll take no rust over low miles any day.

I agree. Whenever I was looking for another Jeep, I was lucky to find a really nice one (condition and price) once a year. That's why I jumped on my Rubicon for $9,500, then bought it back 2 years after I had to sell it.

This is the area that concerns me.it means the frame is rotting here.those bolts will be very hard to get out so the drivetrain can be serviced. Sooner or later it rots so bad the whole thing falls out on the highway!

I want thank you all - I am taking all your advice and passing on this one ……. This starting smell smelly…… I am not in a rush - as this will be 5th vehicle for us and be towed behind our Motorhome when what to hit the trails and camp.

Pic attached of the Ford Ranger we pull often.. no trail riding in that.

Your motorhome is bigger than the condo I live in. I feel less sorry for you now. ;)
