The very first Jeep I ever wanted in the early 2000’s was a Rubicon but being just a couple years out of high school without direction except being destined to join the Marine Corps it wasn’t going to happen on my minimum wage paychecks back then.
quite a few years latter I happened into a couple of YJ’ and they were nice but just didn’t stay around long. After a good span of no Jeeps the wife and I decided this month to each get new ones. She got JLUR since she hauls the kids mostly and I got a JLR. My desire never really went away for the Rubicon I wanted so so bad as young guy and lo and behold this weekend one fell into my lap locally. It’s a 2004 98k miles and one owner all original and not modified, dual tops and all records of dealer services every 3k miles. Even has the window sticker in the glove box still. The older couple traded it in on Saturday at a local dealer and I just happened to see the ad and bought it before they even listed it. I may have over paid at $16k OTD from the dealer but I liked the color and the fact it has been in this area its life and is rust free
