    Default Just picked up another TJ Rubicon



    Yep, couldn’t resist.... this one has a 6” long arm serup, ARB lockers, body armor, tummy tuck.... it’s off-road built!

    more info and pics to come later, it’s a 2005 6-speed! My 2004 will be going to my son Sawyer!!

    Not selling the Willy’s but will be selling Sawyers 2000 BMW 328!

    Chris, definitely wanna run Pennsylvania Gulch soon!

    Already have 3 puppies so don’t need another

    Wish I could join Chinaman but we have a few employees in town for a team build this week so can’t make it ;-(

    Just got home from Colo Springs, where I bought the Rubi..... haven’t been able to take any pix yet but here’s the craigslist ad with a few pix and description! Poison Ivy body armor was an auto-correct typo for Poison Spyder fenders and body armor. It also has a full roll cage built that wasn’t mentioned in the ad, BONUS! He also tossed in an aftermarket exhaust headers and a new clutch and a few other odds and ends! Basically it has all the mods I wished my ‘04 has and it’s lifted even higher and on bigger tires!!!!

    That's awesome! Just curious why a Rubicon has ARBs?

    It’s also got all the skid plates underneath, a Warn m8000 with synthetic rope, rear bumper tire carrier and hi-lift jack (which I already removed and will probably get rid of). Can’t wait to take this beast off road!

    Thanks y'all.... I'm pretty stoked about my new toy and my son is VERY stoked about his new Jeep! It's pretty cool to have a couple of bad ass Rubicons wheeling together ;-)

    Lesson for you younger folks..... work hard and some day it'll pay off so you can have the toys you want (and your kids can have them too) ;-)
