2006 Rubi with 69,972 miles (may be a little more due to occasional driving while it's up for sale. I had Chrysler email the build sheet with all of the exact specs and the total number of Impact Orange Rubicon's built in 2006 (only 452). It is in super good condition with the interior and exterior showing very little signs of use. No dents, dings or notable scratches. There are a few rock chips due to driving that has been touched up. The black Sunrider soft top is in good shape as well (hardtop was sold by the previous owner). It runs and drives like it should. The interior is near perfect and still pretty much original with the exception of a set of front all weather floor liners by Quadratec, Pioneer Mixtrax satellite radio with USB connections and an under dash courtesy light disabling switch (just flip the switch when you remove the doors). Now the exterior and drivetrain is a different story. I wanted to build a trail beast while trying to keep the jeeps awesome originality. Starting with the suspension, I went with a full 4" coil spring lift using Teraflex springs and 8 Teraflex classic adjustable control arms. From there, I used Old Man Emu Nitrocharger shocks and a multitude of other high end components to complete the lift. I then added a set of 4 new Kenda Klever 285/75SR16 on the stock Moab Rubicon wheels. Next a new Rugged Ridge black textured front and rear tube bumpers with a set of KC off-road lights added to the front. Finally, a set of Poison Spyder rocker knockers with tube and a fuel door cover were painted to match the body color and installed.
The ONLY notable thing that I will say about this Jeep (if you want to even call it that) is that it originally was sold and driven up north and there is some surface oxidation on some of the bare metal parts under the jeep (muffler, hubs, nuts, bolts etc) as seen in some of the pics. It is not bad but I am a detail perfectionist and want to be as honest as possible. All of this work and upgrades were completed in May and has less than 100 miles since completion (tires still show signs of the nipple, see pics). I originally built this intending on doing some family rides only to realize that it is not going to work with my family of 5. I will consider taking a trade on the right 4 door automatic JK 4x4 (must be worked before the auctions end). I bought the Rola Adventure Series Bumper Pack for the gear which I will include in the sale for an additional $300 unless "buy it now" is used and I will throw it in (check them out online, they are awesome and cost well over $600 new, which this one is). Do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or specific picture requests. You wont be disappointed. Thanks, Dane

Jeep Wrangler Mojo and Cherokee Dakar teased ahead of Moab Easter Safari
Wed, 02 Apr 2014Jeep has an annual tradition of debuting wild, new concepts during its Easter Jeep Safari, and this year looks to be no different. The automaker has already confirmed two of the six vehicles for 2014 - the Cherokee Dakar (pictured above) and Wrangler Mojo. This year's event runs in Moab, Utah, from April 12-20.
There are no official details about either of the concepts yet - Jeep will release more info on the new models next week. Judging by the pictures, though, the Cherokee Dakar appears to be lifted with some knobby off-road tires. The Wrangler Mojo looks to have a bulging hood that might hide a more powerful engine underneath.
Past vehicles at the Easter Jeep Safari have included a Hemi V8-powered Wrangler, a classically inspired pickup and modernized Jeep Forward Control. Since this is the brand's chance to express itself every year, hopefully it has some more sensational concepts up its sleeve. Scroll down to read the little information that has been revealed about this year's models so far.
Jeep Liberty under investigation for door fires
Tue, 29 Oct 2013The Jeep Liberty has already had plenty of attention for possible fires thanks to the first-gen model's fuel tank, but now the midsize Jeep is under the microscope of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for another fire-related concern. NHTSA has opened an investigation for the 2012 Liberty after receiving two reports of electrical fires in the driver's door.
According to the investigation summary, around 80,000 vehicles could potentially be affected by this problem. In both reported fires, the drivers noticed smoke and then flames from the master power window switch, and they had to pull to a stop and exit through the passenger side of the SUV. According to Autoguide, there was one injury to a motorist who suffered burned fingers while trying to open the driver's door.
Interestingly, the Dodge Nitro is not yet involved in this investigation, even though it was still around for the 2012 model year; the Nitro ended production in 2011 about a year before the final Liberty rolled off the line for the 2013 model year. Scroll down for the official NHTSA investigation summary.
Chrysler resolves recall issue with NHTSA, will inspect, upgrade affected Jeeps
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Chrysler made big news earlier in the month by refusing a recall request from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for the 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty. Last week, NHTSA boss David Strickland countered by defending his agency's request for the recall of 2.7 million Jeep SUVs. Today marked the deadline for Chrysler to formally respond to NHTSA, and it seems that both parties have met in the middle with Chrysler inspecting and upgrading some of the affected vehicles without using the word "recall," which would constitute the admission of a defect; instead, Chrysler said that it is conducting a "voluntary campaign."
At issue on these vehicles is the positioning of the fuel tank behind the rear axle that could get damaged during a rear-end collision. NHTSA has stated that at least 51 people have been killed in rear-end collisions involving these Jeeps after the vehicles caught fire, to which Chrysler countered by pointing out that both models "met and exceeded" the requirements for fuel-system integrity.
As a compromise on the situation, Chrysler says that it will inspect all pre-2004 Grand Cherokees and pre-2007 Liberty models and, "if necessary, provide an upgrade to the rear structure of the vehicle." According to Automotive News, this upgrade will consist of adding a trailer hitch that will presumably better protect the rear-mounted gas tank. Vehicles already equipped with a factory or Mopar hitch will not be modified. Chrysler's official statement on the matter is posted below, but no additional information has been released, such as when the campaign will begin and how many vehicles could be affected.
