Day 01: We’ve been looking for 5 months for something decent. Anything in the $8-11k range. The market has been tough and anything good is as good as gone. INW Jeep’s tend to be on the low average side. I looked at several and they were bombs. We found this 05’ Patriot Blue Rubi asking $8k. I was relieved to be the first to look. It was in rough shape with 155,000 miles, check engine light with 2 codes, and tub and frame rust. Honestly though, better than all the other Jeeps I’ve looked at and asking less. Rebuilt title due to a collision on driver front side. Original flare is still there, so it wasn’t that bad, and the frame is solid there. Owner dropped $500 and I figured four parts were approximately worth that, so why not take the plunge and see if we can’t turn this one into something worth driving and wheelin for another decade or more.
It is Patriot Blue, so now we have Red, White and Blue!
