2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited JK 4 door 4x4 Wild Boar Fastpack Hardtop
This Jeep is unlike any you have ever seen!It has been my project for the past few years and I hate to sell it, but my wife and I just had our 3rd child so I'm looking for something a little more family oriented.
This Jeep has a Salvage/Rebuilt Title.This jeep was originally a Sahara model, that I have converted into a Rubicon (the title says Sahara).
When I got it about 6 years ago, it had a broken rear axle and I swapped out both axles for Rubicon Dana 44's in the front and rear and Re-geared the differentials with G2 Dana 44 JK Front and Rear 4.88 Ratio Ring and Pinion.(Professionally installed by 4wheelparts in Nov. 2015)The only thing that it doesn't have that most Rubicons do, is the electric sway bar disconnects and lockers.This Jeep does have many other upgrades that you won't find on a stock Rubicon though.I have made a list of highlights below, followed by a list of things that need to be fixed.I believe in transparency, this is an awesome Jeep, but there are some things that need fixed.

Suggested Repairs/Upgrades:
1.Squeaking noise coming from passenger side rear wheel, noise stops when I apply the brakes. I think the parking brake might need to be adjusted because it is also not currently working.
2.Needs a new abs sensor, ABS Light, ESP BAS, and Slip lights are on because of this
3.Front Passenger seatbelt does not work, needs a new one ~$80
4.Did not pass Colorado Emissions Testing, I think it might have a cracked exhaust manifold, but I'm not certain. Below are the results of the Colorado Emissions Test exactly as it appears on the Vehicle Inspection Report.
Check Engine Light
P0171, System Too Lean Bank 1
P0456, Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (very small leak)
P1404,
P0406, Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor A Circuit High
P0157, O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage Bank 2 Sensor 2
5.I think that I have a bad relay for my door locks.They won't lock or unlock with the key fob, but the key fob lock will still arm the security alarm.I noticed that the fuse was blown and I changed it, but it blew instantly.Coincidentally, at the same time my windshield wiper spray stopped working.The wipers still work, but it won't spray fluid. So I am thinking that they are probably both on the same relay and it has gone out.
6.Cracked windshield
7.Leaking transmission fluid, needs new lines
8.Water pump needs replaced
9.I think the front drive shaft will need replaced soon, I sometimes feel a vibration from it around 30 to 40 mph
10.Only comes with one key
11.Paint is chipping off of the rear fender
