Mechanics special, Hemi Jeep Wrangler JKU Rubicon

2008 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Hemi mechanics special Description

I really don't want to sell this, but I have decided to sell my Jeep as a mechanics special rather than spend more money on it.Iam listing with no reserveand a starting price of about half of what other hemi Jeeps are selling for. Keep in mind that the parts alone (engine, transmission, wiring harness, computer, aluminum radiator etc)cost over $15,000. If you are mechanically inclined, you could end up with a nice Hemi Jeep for significantly less than most people have invested in them.The reason it has a rebuilt title is the original owner had an incident with a rock while 4 wheeling in Utah. The second owner had it repaired and had a 5.7 VVT Hemi installed with a Jeep Speed shop kit. I bought it a few years ago in Utah, then drove it back home to the East coast. The body and frame are pretty clean and rust free since this is from Utah, however there are a few dents and dings from normal use.

• The transmission won't shift at wide open throttle. It shifts fine under 4,000 rpms and you wouldn't even know there was a problem if you drove at half throttle. I have had several mechanics diagnose it as needing a valve body.
• some of the bushings are bad in the suspension which end up causing the occasional death wobble. I have new BDS adjustable lower control arms and 4.5" springs that I will offer to the winning bidder for a reasonable price.
• The air bag light is on. I took it to a body shop who said they think it needs a sensor in the steering column
• The tires are useable but are worn and have some dry rot.
• The electronic sway bar disconnect doesn't work.The wire connector is damaged from incident with rock.
• needs rear brakes
• Windshield has a crack

The engine is a 2013 VVT Hemi with 395 HP and only has about 7,500 miles. Transmission is a 545rfe, transfer case is a NV241 with low miles as well.The gears have been changed to 4:88 to 1. The suspension is a 4" Pro Comp, wheels are 20" XD Series. The soft top is in good shape with a small patch professionally sewn in. The winch is not included.This has some serious power and is really fun to drive when working as designed.I will work on getting better picture and if there is any special pictures or information you want, please let me know.
