I know I shouldn’t be scared of the 3.8 but it is in my head so that is why I am looking for. 2012 or newer. Also another buddy told me it’s power is a little low. I want to be on 37s.
Want to buy Jeep JKU that is overland ready / partially overland ready

I didnt have any worries about it in that regard but both the 3.6 and 3.8 are absolute dogs they cant get out of their own way if their life depended on it lol
I'm looking into the supercharger options or a hemi swap sometime in the future
HEMI would be legit but I’m in CA. Not sure it can be done legally. Supercharger maybe.

Hi guys! I have the rig you are looking for, if you have the chedda. This was my dream build that I just finished in January. I've slept in the camper a total of 4 nights and have never been on more than utility roads.. Selling because I am a disabled vet with a bad back, and it looks like gold prospecting is not gonna be my thing. Gonna start a t-shirt biz..Top of the line everything. I will post the specs soon. Just decided to sell a few days ago.

First off thank you for
Your service
second thing though if you notice in his original post he stated he is trying to keep budget under 30k. Same here. I am just a simple CA firefighter getting my butt kicked. Lol. So as amazing your Jeep is and I would
Love to own it. Our budgets combined won’t even cover your asking of 66k. I am pretty sure my 1997 ford ranger and 25k ain’t gonna cut it. Lol. Best of
Luck brother.

For those looking for a turnkey jeep package, I am just barely starting down the road of getting mine ready to sell. 2014 JKUR auto 49,000 miles.
Build thread HERE
$37,000
You would have to stretch your budget a little, but not a lot for an absolutely bomber truck for exploring. I have kept this rig in perfect mechanical condition, and there are ZERO issues. I would not hesitate to jump in this truck to drive anywhere. Super well balanced build for both highway driving and off road work. Though I drove it off road frequently, I never pushed it or wheeled it hard. Our trips are almost always solo, so if the rig couldn't handle something with a light touch on the throttle, then we weren't doing it.
Truck is in Utah, and has been garage kept and pampered its whole life. Never driven in the winter / salt.
My wife and I have gotten really into sailing, and after 12 years banging around in the UT desert in two different rigs, we have decided to extract the value from this vehicle and buy a sailboat.
Think about it, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or want more pics.
