2004 Rubicon - $8000

First, I apologize for the picture quality. It was dark, raining heavy, and I was in a bit of a rush (driving by while working).

Here's what I know....

Don (360-533-5302) has owned since 2006
He just drove it out to park by the road and it is NOT posted online at all.

Edit: Forgot to add originally that this is in Hoquiam, WA. He bought from a dealer in Vancouver, WA in 2006. Always been a PNW Jeep. As far as he knows, he is the second owner.

2004 TJ Rubicon
4.0
42RLE
170,7xx miles
Clean title
Maroon (maybe Sienna pearl?)

-2.5" lift with aftermarket control arms (unknown brand, possibly RE, looked silver, owner couldn't remember, I only got a good look at front lowers (fixed ends, grease zerks))

-Newish 31" (ish) all-terrains on oxidized aluminum 16's (I think Pacer brand, may polish up), I believe it had a matching spare, but now my brain isn't certain.

-Aftermarket front bumper (pretty sure JCR Crusader) with Warn powerplant winch (not currently working)

-Neoprene style front seat covers have been on since current owner bought in 2006

-Aftermarker "cold air" style intake

-Includes hardtop, soft top, bimini top, windjammer, overhead gun rack, and hardtop lift arm

-LED headlights

-LED interior lights

-Pocket style flares (6 or 8"? They're wide)

-Tube steps

-Aftermarket stereo head unit

Quick look at the frame looked good, but again, it was dark and raining and there were dogs barking at me close by while we talked.

He mentioned that he didn't abuse it (probably in his 60's?) and just got a truck and was getting too old for it. Looked pretty good for $8000.

Dayum! That’s a steal.

That was my thought. It would be cool if someone here could score a good deal.

Agreed, he can drive this one as is while he finishes the trail rig!

I'd have to pass. Too many rubber duckies and bunnies.

I just chuckled to myself when I saw them. To each their own I guess lol

Also forgot to add, he started it and everything sounded good. Didn't even seem to have an exhaust leak which was odd lol

I’ll buy it. I need to fly over. Can anyone pick me up from airport and take me to it?

With that price one could probably have a little to offer for him to meet you at the airport.

JMT said:

I texted him. We will see.

If you could get closer to where I'm at I could get you to the Jeep. I'm over an hour from the airport. The Jeep is about 45 minutes from my house, but in the opposite direction of the airport.

Ok, I have a good idea where you are. PNW_LJ offered me a ride if this works out. I've also got a friend in Tacoma who I'm willing to bet would like to catch up. Let's see what happens. Maybe my buddy in Tacoma take me to you, you take me to Don, or PNW-LJ, and I drive home in a Rubi. It would be nice to have it while I'm doing my auto swap, and one of my daughter's is 15, so she's about to be driving. I could make this one nice. I have some Rubi flares and Rubi Moabs. I could get a stock front bumper, rebuild the winch, do a lot of stuff. Just returning it to stock would be a great idea for me on this one. Make it really nice.

Sounds good, keep me posted. I just remembered when I woke up that he said his phone wasn't working for some reason yesterday. If you don't hear back and need me too I can stop back out there.

And what's with the steering wheel being 180deg out?

It doesn't look like it in the picture, but the wheels were turned a bit. Might still be off, but not a full 180 for sure
