2005 Wrangler TJ Rubicon, Manual Transmission, Impact Orange, 56,513 Miles
Fellow TJ Enthusiasts,
Finally decided to put my TJ Rubicon up for sale because of another child on the way. This was a tough decision for my wife and I as we've enjoyed many years of summer beach cruising in Northern Michigan.
Purchased the vehicle in 2016 from a family (original owners) in South Dakota and was more than willing to pay a premium plus freight for the low mileage - Impact Orange Rubicon with a manual transmission. The vehicle has treated me well over the years and I performed all preventative maintenance and worked thru a minor restoration.
Since, I've owned the vehicle I put around $8,331 dollars in upgrades to preserve the vehicle and maintain stock geometries. Feel free to contact me with any questions - 313-888-0169 or [email protected] . Below is the list of the upgrades or services to the vehicle.
Paint, Body, Exterior:
11/2017 - Outside vehicle was sanded to bare metal to remove minimal hail damage to hood and front fenders. The body was sealed and 2k primed the entire body. 2 coats of the factory base paint was applied followed by three coats of clear coat. The paint looks dripping wet without the orange peel you seem from the factory paint.
4/2018 - Purchased a set of Rubicon Hardrock Tires/Wheels and fitted them on the vehicle with Spider Wheel Spacers. Still have the stock Tire / Wheel package in my garage.
4/2019 - Purchased Oracle LED White Halo lights. Still have stock headlights in my garage.
