FS: 2005 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, Bakersfield, CA $17k obo

[ttravis5446]

After a lot of consideration and some regret I have decided to sell my Rubicon. After wanting a Rubicon with these exact options I stumbled into this one at the local GMC dealer. I have taken it on a couple of trips now and have come to the realization that I am not built to be a Wrangler driver. I am 6'3" and the legroom was scarce, so I installed a set of the Bigboy seat relocation brackets. That fixed the legroom but a side effect of moving the seat back 4" is that my head is firmly against the rollbar unless I lean the seat way back so my head is behind it.



The jeep is a 2005 Wrangler Rubicon. It has a 6 speed manual trans. The Jeep is in awesome shape. Everything works. Factory air lockers and 4 wheel disk brakes. Soft top with half doors. It does have A/C but no cruise control. Jeep has a 33,734 miles on it now. The top is original and is starting to show its age a little bit. The dealer I bought it from said the tires and front brakes were new. The spare doesn't match and looks to be one of the original tires. It has brackets on the front for a tow bar, so it may have been towed behind a R.V. Nothing has been messed with on this Jeep except the set of seat brackets that I installed (easily removed). I have the Carfax from when I bought it last September. Clear Title in hand. I work 80 - 90 hours a week and don't get to drive it very often, it is a little dusty from sitting in the garage and a trip to Seqouia a few weeks ago. I will take it to get detailed when it sells. Possible trades for a 1st gen Tacoma, Syncro Vanagon, or Vintage Rover of similar value. Many more pics available on request.


Thanks,

Nice truck!

Wow, if it were a Rubicon Unlimited in that condition at that price, I would buy it. Loving my current Jeep (2005 Unlimited) so much I feel guilty even thinking about buying another one... but I could see transferring over all the upgrades on my truck onto a Rubicon twin, and being even happier still. ;-)

I am surprised you had trouble with the leg room. I am 6'1" and can't even reach the (non existent) dead pedal left of the brake. Nowhere near cramped for me, at 6'1" 225#. Which seats are in your Jeep? The slide-and-flip fwd ones, which I understand have different height and adjustment range than the regular ones? The only thing that gets me is the shoulder room on the driver's left side, my elbow and shoulder are a bit tight on the door.

Anyway, good luck with the sale.
Isaac

Both seats are the slide and flip ones. I hear you on the shoulder room, though in my opinion the half doors are a little better than full doors in that department.
