Hello fellow Wrangler owners. Its a privilege to be a part of a TJ-LJ community. I bought my first Wrangler and since have done things to make it really mine. Changed all kinds of stuff on it. That's the beauty of owning one of these things. I've always wanted one, then one day I decided I wasn't going to wait anymore. I had a few toys sitting around that I just didn't use that much anymore and decided that I needed to turn them into cash so I can go get myself a Jeep. Amazingly all my toys sold within a 1 week time frame and the cash built up quick. I was watching ads from every source I could think of looking for a good deal. Then one day I saw this 05 Rubicon Unlimited come up. It was still out of my reach by about 5 grand but I called the owner to talk Jeeps. I didn't have enough money for that one but I was really impressed with how it looked. I was about 5k short of having enough cash and made sure she knew it. I didn't want her to think I was wasting her time. She lived 5 hours away anyway so I knew I wasn't getting it right away. I thanked her for her time and she said that she would be willing to talk Jeeps anytime and keep in touch. I had 13,500 saved and climbing. I don't know what happened over night, but the next day I got a text message from her saying she would accept my 13,500 if I still wanted the Jeep. I was shocked. I texted back immediately and said yes. She told me she got off work at 4 that day and If I could make it up there by then I could take it home. I was there early and waiting for her. It had 64,249 miles on the day I bought it. The only thing I was hoping for was a stick, but it was Automatic. I settled for it anyway and for the price I wasn't letting it go. I also got both tops with it. After I got it home I contacted Jeep and asked if I could in anyway get a factory build sheet for it. Jeep told me there is a Dept. called Jeep Cares that can help me with anything I want to know. I contacted them and sent them my vin. no. and they gladly sent me my factory build sheet, and then let me know that my Jeep was one of only 50 made. I wondered what that was and asked them why. They told me that they were not allowed to disclose any of that information because it was proprietary information. But even though I don't know what makes mine one of 50 I do have documentation from Jeep as to the proof of it. I've loved driving it and using it for commuting as well as traveling and off roading. It has been so dependable and is making many awesome memories that I will enjoy for a lifetime. My daughter is already noted to get it in my will. It will be a family heirloom from now on, but while I'm alive I will enjoy every minute of it. I couldn't be happier.
