Considering trading in my current ride for something a little different.

That something different being a 2004 Rubicon.
Here's the listing for what is being considered

This would be my first Jeep. I'd mostly use it for a 5 mile commute to work and back. Just looking for something sub $20,000 and solid. Carfax has this particular Jeep living in the southeast most of it's life, patricularly Alabama and Florida. Areas of concern for me are the 5 owners. I haven't checked it out yet in person but from what I'm seeing it looks fairly clean and rust free

Any and all advice is appreciated and welcomed.
 
Hmm...Looks OK, but I see a bunch of cheap parts used to build it. No matching size spare and 4 chinese tires, Cheap lift, cheap winch. What else did they cheap out on? Maintenance?

For 17 K I'd want Nice stuff or stock.
