2005 LJ Rubicon Pricing

[phert68]

True, good option.

Before I painted that hood , I'd have a replacement painted and sell them both with it . Then it's fixed and original , either way.

Great thought. Thanks

Also any white Rubicon hood should fit, may be a good one at a yard possibly , or a letter a TJ hood.

Don't stress. You have an LJ Rubicon.
It's a seller's market for those , and that may never change for nice ones with decent miles.

Some buyers are willing to pay and plan to play in them , cosmetics isn't the be all and end all if it's overall solid..plus hail damage isn't a sign of abuse and neglect.

Thanks AndyG, that's added some clarity to my decision, I think I'll have the shifter fork repaired and post it with the minor hail damage.

 

[AndyG]

Don't let anyone try to grind you down for a little hail damage on the hood.

there were a lot of TJ wranglers made and quite a few LJ's but certainly not as many... But here's the deal..

Most of them are scratched up beat up and one with just a little hail damage is still way above average.

I have ran into people that we're looking for one and they're like man I just can't find one very nice.

People that understand what's going on and want a nice one know good and well they're going to have to pay.

you're welcome to personal message me if you have any questions on anything to work through to sell it... We wish you the best.

Thanks AndyG, this has always been my dream jeep, it's a blast to drive on and off road, it should make the next owner very happy.

It will... it makes us happy just to know a nice one is
going to go on the market

We got a little snow, winds caused a little drift

Thank you, the factory version is hard to come by, and pricey. If you know of a deal?

I don’t know if a deal, but just wondering if your was originally a dual top (some people ordered it with both). I wouldn’t go buy one just to sell it though.

 

[phert68]

It only came with the soft top

It only came with the soft top

Gotcha. Compared to rust and other major worries, a top isn’t big deal really. I just notice hardtops ask a bit more.

 

[phert68]

Yeah, I didn't want to have to store the hardtop, and didn't have much need for one, but I can see the value for sure.
