Hi all! After searching for a long time I finally found and bought my unicorn - a 2005 LJ, automatic, in Electric Lime Green. I wanted an LJ for the space, since my boys are tall and getting taller, an automatic so my family can drive it, and the Electric Lime because of Jackson. This is Jackson…
Jackson is 14, is on the autism spectrum, and loves bright green Wranglers more than just about anything in the world. Now that we’re living in the CO mountains it finally made sense to buy a Jeep, and I finally found the right one at the right price. Here it is:
It’s in really nice shape and was a southern car from new so there not a speck of rust. It has nice Smittybilt bumpers front and rear, 33” Yokohamas, and I’m assuming some sort of lift but I couldn’t tell you what kind. The previous owner used it as a commuter and never took it wheeling. Now it’s going to get to do Jeep things!
Short term it needs the gas burping thing fixed and for sure some new gears - 33s with the original 3.73 gears may have worked at sea level where I bought it but not at 9k feet in the Rockies. OD on that automatic trans is completely useless right now.
Anyway just wanted to give a quick intro, looking forward to driving everyone nuts with dumb new guy questions!
