'17 Cal4Wheel Win-A-Jeep a 2016 Wrangler Unlimited with $30k of additional build

2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport Sport Utility 4-Door Description

2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport 4x4 that was the 2017 Cal-4-Wheel Win-A-Jeep Raffle grand prizeOccasionally there are HUGE blessings in life. This Jeep is one of those in my life. It was my first time at a California Four Wheel Drive Association event and my ticket gets pulled out of a barrel of over 15,000 tickets for the grand prize. Every year Cal4Wheel builds up a Jeep for a huge raffle-based fundraiser. Each year a "master builder" is selected to lead the upfit and other vendors are also solicited for additional add-ons. For this Jeep the master builder was Poison Spyder with add-ons provided by a dozen others as described below.

I have ALWAYS wanted a Jeep! My wife and I have even taken extended Jeep test drives in the past, and there has always been the same problem. I am 6’7” and Jeep Wranglers are not made for people like me. My head hits the roll bar. It’s not a matter of lowering the seat as the legroom is already uncomfortable as well. Basically, I can’t drive a Jeep more than short distances, and this Jeep deserves to be more than a mall cruiser!

My wife and I want to honor all of the hard work and anticipation that goes into the Cal4Wheel Win-A-Jeep project each year. The Win-A-Jeep committee chairperson gives up 20+ of his weekends each year to trailer the Jeep to events where tickets are sold. Plus, he lines up and manages all of the sponsors and build-up work. Plus, Cal4Wheel shows the Jeep at SEMA in Las Vegas each year (yes this Jeep was shown at SEMA in 2016!). And the chairperson is just the ringleader with many, many, many other volunteers at his side every step of the way.

And then there are the ticket buyers. Yes, everyone wants to win the Jeep. But each ticket buyer is also putting out their hard earned money to help the Cal4Wheel efforts all year long. Each ticket buyer deserves to be honored as well.

The Jeep is now in our possession, but we can’t just garage this for occasional local drives. It deserves to be driven and maybe even badged with some trail markings (sorry Cal4Wheel team). So, this is what we are going to do:

We started this eBay auction at 5pm Pacific on March 1st. The auction will run for 10 days. We will donate 1/3 of the winning auction amount back to Cal4Wheel. One third right off the top back to continue Cal4Wheel’s efforts. And, the winner gets to drive around a piece of history that will start many conversations and make many new friends!

This is our private auction with our pledge to donate 1/3 of the wining bid amount back to Cal4Wheel. This is not a Cal4Wheel auction so please don’t bug them with questions. Any questions message us through the eBay response system. And no. In the interest of fairness and with the hope to bring the highest $ amount back to Cal4Wheel we will not end the auction early. If you have an unbelievably generous offer, enter it into the eBay system as a proxy bid and hopefully you will prevail when the auction closes on Saturday March 11th. There is no reserve on this auction. Winner buys it!

Let the fun continue! Jon

By my rough estimate based on the build spreadsheet this Jeep would cost a minimum of $59,400 to duplicate. And it was built-up by the brands themselves not a third party. And it currently has 76 miles on the odometer. This may be a once in a lifetime opportunity.More information about this year's raffle go to the Win-A-Jeep section on the Cal4Wheel website.
Odometer Mileage Notes:A the time of raffle drawing the Jeep had 57 total miles on the odometer. Cal4Wheel trailered the Jeep to all of the raffle sales locations and to SEMA 2016. I took the eBay auction pictures "the morning after" the raffle after it had been trailer to the event through a rainstorm. It was a quick photo session to take the eBay pictures before it went back on the trailer and back to Cal4Wheel.The Jeep is now in our possession (& properly transferred through the DMV with use taxes paid) and has 76 miles on the odometer.We will drive the Jeep roundtrip to have it on display at the Tierra Del Sol Desert Rendezvous in Ocotillo Wells CA this weekend March 3-5. It will then be driven back to Costa Mesa CA.I expect the mileage at time of vehicle transfer to the eBay winner to be approximately 550 miles.
Vehicle Condition Notes:When writing this auction description I have only been behind the wheel for 10 miles. Here are my notes.1) According to CARFAX there is a service recall needed. CARFAX describes this as a front impact sensor wiring harness that needs to be modified.2) There are a couple of places I noticed where the Poison Spyder work or parts should have some minor attention. The most flagrant is the 3rd brake light which needs more than the current temporary solution.
