2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 6 Speed, 70k miles

2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Sport Utility 2-Door Description

This is a sought after unmodified 2006 Jeep Wrangler ("TJ") Rubicon with a 6 speed manual transmission, hard top, and about 70,000 miles. It was purchased new at Yellowstone Country Motors in Livingston, and I have owned it since 2013. Overall condition is good with proper functioning mechanicals and no rust issues. It does have cosmetic flaws consistent with its age(see above for further detail). It has the classic Jeep 4.0 liter straight six, a motor that became a legend over its lifetime for its renowned torque and durability. Power runs through a Mercedes designed 6 speed manual transmission to a beefy (and Rubicon specific) NVG 241OR "Rock-Trac" transfer case, to front and rear Dana 44 axels with full locking differentials, and finally to the trail through 4 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires with less than 10,000 miles under them.
This is a no nonsense 4x4, but it also has some creature comforts that make it a pleasure to drive daily, like cruise control, 7 speaker stereo with sub woofer (a factory option), LATCH (for child car seats), and air conditioning (not that you'll need it with the doors and roof off this summer!). The Rubicon models are more than just fancy badging, they came with the aforementioned heavier duty transfer case, axels and locking differentials, along with bumper mounted fog lights, skid plates, lighter and stronger 16 inch alloy wheels, and a 4:11 axle ratio.
This Jeep has been properly owned since day one. I have kept careful records since 2013, and have the original window sticker. A clean Carfax report is also available. Highlights of maintenance include a refresh of many suspension components in 2013 including new drag links, end links, upper control arms and steering stabilizer bar (all OE except stabilizer which is a heavier duty Rancho unit), along with a thorough fluid change (diffs, transfer case, engine). The rest is also largely unmodified/stock, except bumper mounted KC fog lights, and A pillar mounted KC driving lights. The bumpers are original but the unsightly plastic end caps have been removed.
It currently has a hardtop fitted that is easily removable, and I would also be happy to sell the buyer any accessories I've purchased at a deep discount, which include: Besttop Trektop NX (frameless soft top, check out Quadratec or Besttop websites for pics), spare tire mounted bike carrier, safari mirrors, neoprene seat covers and emergency rain cover. The rear seat is installed but removable. All carpeting has been removed.
