Alas, the day has come where circumstance dictates that we part with our beloved Jeep Wrangler. While we've had it barely a year, the memories it created will last a lifetime. This Jeep is no pavement princess, it's a time and battle tested veteran of the off-road game. This Jeep completed every challenge on Cleghorn, cruised through Hungry Valley, and conquered Lockwood/Miller Jeep trail with vigor! This Jeep has been developed over years to grow into an off-roading monster! This is the perfect Jeep for someone who wants to jump right in to the off-roading life and only focus on finishing up and perfecting a build, with all the "heavy lifting" customizations already completed. Interior is in overall good condition. Above average for a vehicle of this age and experience for sure.

A few introductory pieces about the Jeep:

Jeep has a clean title. The Jeep has 283k on the odometer. It's hard to say which parts have actually traversed that many miles as the last owner recently had the engine rebuilt and refurbished at odo reading 263k, replacing many parts during installation. The engine runs amazingly smooth! Engine rests on Brown dog motor mounts and insulated wrapped headers. Transmission was also rebuilt during this process at the 275k mark. Receipts in hand for both of these as well as service records dating back to original owner. You won't find this anywhere for a Jeep like this.

With that being said, a Jeep TJ is always a work in progress. As anyone who has owned a Jeep can tell you, 100% of Jeeps out there have projects waiting in the wings that faithful owners desire, so if you like the Jeep and come take a look at it, keep that in mind. There are always things that can be fixed, improved, or upgraded on every Jeep...everywhere...forever.

This brings me to why I'm selling the Jeep. To be honest, I am finishing up my degree program and constant professional events and internships have taken up too much of my time. I no longer have time to take wheeling trips and perform the maintenance that accompanies this. Additionally, my household commutes have increased and the Jeep isn't necessarily a fantastic daily driver for an office environment.
