I'd of course like to see if the oil pump was replaced first, and to see how the frame is. If it does look good how much should I really pay for it? https://york.craigslist.org/cto/d/york-2005-jeep-wrangler-tj/7462442650.html
I heard they fail in the 05/06'swhy the oil pump? Not worth near that...nothing special
What you have heard about is the OPDA (oil pump drive assembly) which only affected 05-06's. I would personally prefer it to be an original as that would mean the camshaft sensor is a Mopar. It really isn't that big of an issue. Most 05-06 owners swap the OPDA out of caution.I heard they fail in the 05/06's
It’s got 100k, built with cheap parts, and not a not much invested in his effort to post it for sale.I'd of course like to see if the oil pump was replaced first, and to see how the frame is.

My biggest hang up is the fact of no underside/frame shots. Could be a total disaster or miracle under there.
$16,000 for a 2004 with 160,000 miles? I paid $9500 for my 03' with 120,000 miles.Looks like rust between the skid and frame in the last pic. I'm a NW PA guy, so I go over them with a fine tooth comb. For $16k, this Rubi looks pretty good. I haven't gone to see it in person yet

Thanks. I found mine in Washington D.C. Retired military guy from Texas had moved here two years earlier. His wife wanted a BMW and told him to sell the Jeep. Unlike me, he listened to his wife.Nice flame red by the way!!
