2005 Jeep Wrangler LJ Unlimited Rubicon; 82000 miles
2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon LJ Description
2005 is one of the best years for a wrangler. It still has the legendary straight 6 cylinder engine that they replaced in 07. Also it has the 6 speed manual transmission that was only a 5 speed until 04. And it's a Rubicon so it's got all the upgraded suspension, gears, transfer case, and axles that weren't offered until 03. Also the lockers front and rear that both work. But most importantly it's an LJ, an extended 2 door, 15 inches longer in the body and 10" in the wheelbase that they only made for 2.5 years. THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT 13,000 LJ RUBICONS MADE THROUGHOUT THE 2.5 YEAR PRODUCTION RUN. I was going to keep it forever, but it's worth too much to be a third vehicle. I love my Jeep but I've got a little one on the way. Despite the extra length because it's an LJ it's still not going to work for a car seat. Too many extra to list. Currently my daily driver. Pictures will come or just email or text and I'll motivate. I'm in no rush she is only 4 months pregnant.
I'll try:Custom dual exhaust that passes emissions - one pipe on each side behind driver's door.Warn Winch, 6" total lift 4" spring - SkyJacker, 2" body. Quick Release Sway Bar, 33" tires. Great sound system. All the work on this Jeep was done professionally except for the sound system. I've got a total of 4 amps for the 6 speakers and 1 sub. Kenwood radio with Bluetooth music and calling. Homelink (garage door opener buttons, LED light, temp display and compass) rear view mirror with auto dimming, Rugged Ridge front, rear bumpers and side rails and rubber mats. Working Piaa lights 4 front and 2 rear with strobe feature. I didn't go wheeling very often, probably less than 10 time, but I inherited a Hi lift Jack and I'll also throw in the other Jeep accessories I have, K&N Air Filter and Aftermarket Performance Chip, Yellow Top battery from Napa with Warranty, Carpets and Hard top in great shape. Essential Soft doors and bikini top with header for summer. Also door frames with soft top attachment. MOLLE seat covers with pouches for front, rear seats and tailgate.
Carfax available if you email me.
The first owner was a Rich guy so I was told and had all the suspension and lighting done professionally but barely drove it. 5 years - total of 7079 miles - Rhode Island
2nd owner only had it 8 months and changed all the chrome accessories to black drove it to almost 18000 miles. I bought it from a dealership but he left his number. His commute went from 8 miles to like 40 miles each way so he traded it in. - Rhode Island/ Mass
I'm the third owner - was in Mass and New Hampshire from 2011-2015 and here in Colorado garaged since - One minor incident a few years ago rear ended very slowly, the jeep was and is fine.
Current Issues:
I want to get the E brake fixed, the cable snapped,
the check engine light flickers on occasionally because of O2 sensors. It's a common problem for the year
Also it might need an alignment
Small chip in windshield - FILLED
None of these things have bothered me at all. However because I'm trying to sell it and I'm sure many people want a unproblematical purchase fixing these issues is on my list before I aggressively try to sell it. That being said I'm willing to take a few hundred bucks off the price for an as is purchase.
