2005 Rocky Mountain Edition 6 speed manual, was bought in February of 2019 with just over 100k miles and had 104k miles when the swap was done. Motor is a 2004 5.3 Vortec that had 104k miles when bought and currently has 1,500 miles since swap was completed in January 2021. Jeep is coming from a smoke free home and interior is in great condition. Only reason for selling is I work out of town half the year and don't get to enjoy it like it should be enjoyed. You can tell it hasn't been abused or been off-roaded as it's rust free. The AC has been deleted but I left the evaporator and condenser in place and plugged off to stay debris free. Also has plenty of new parts replaced and most were headache items that the next owner wont need to worry about. Soft top is in good condition and doesn't leak at all.

Asking price is $19,900 OBO and located in Ashland, Kentucky.

Will get more pictures soon and I have some videos if needed. I'm sure there are some things I'm forgetting that I'll add if it comes to mind. It's true that it's cheaper to buy than build as no expense was spared and anything preventative that could be done was done....but hey that's the fun in all this!

The receipts shown are from Novak for the conversion parts. The receipt I don't have is for adding the electric fan/sensor kit, the wiring harness service and the ECM programming service. Those 3 things total about $1,500.

I like it, too far away and don't have that much money sitting around. Just spent some time on Novak site and thinking about a turn key kit for mine.

I still have my receipts from Novak, I spent around $4,500 through them. Only receipt I cant find is the one where I sent my wiring harness to be reworked, ECM the programmed and added the electric fan to the radiator. Only thing I didn't end up using is the AC relocation bracket because I deleted the AC.
 
Interesting gauges does that come as a kit?

The gauges came from Speedhut and the Gauge Bezel came from Quadratec. It was between $800-900 for the gauges and bezel if I remember correctly. But sadly I don't think Speedhut does those gauges as a set anymore, I believe you have to buy them individually now.
 
Is there anything wrong with it? Also, do you have any pictures of the frame? Did you say you have videos too? You can email me at [email protected]

I’ll get some pictures of the frame and send the videos I have to your email. Haven’t had any issues since the swap was completed. Drove it an hour and a half from where I live with no issues there or back home.
