2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2-door **only 8,600 Miles!!** on 2040-cars
Golden, Colorado, United States
2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4x4 with less than 9000 original miles!!! (Still have the original window sticker)
Features: * Jeep Green w/metallic clear coat exterior and dark khaki soft top. Interior is khaki cloth (Still smells new) * Last year for the infamous 4.0 liter Power Tech I6 engine with 6 spd manual transmission. Mileage: 8,667 * H.D. Dana 44 Front and Rear Axles w/ 4:11 ratios and Tru-Lok (Locking) differentials in both axles. Original owner purchased the Jeep new and immediately had approx. $10,000 of Off-road upgrades professional installed. Here's what was done: * 6" Fabtech Suspension Lift * 295/75R16 Nitto Terra Grappler tires (34" tires) * Stinger front bumper with 2 KC lites and Warn 8000lb winch * Custom rear bumper with 2" receiver * Heavy duty spare tire carrier w/full size spare and grease-able hinge * Wilderness roof rack with 6 KC lites (4 front and 2 rear) and Hi-lift jack, axe and shovel The original owner suffered medical problems and the Jeep just sat in storage. I purchased the Jeep with approx. 2700 miles with the intent to take the family Off-roading in the Rockies or Moab etc. But kids' sports have completely dominated my time and the Jeep is not being used for what it was built for. The only 4 wheel drive action this Jeep has seen is a few Colorado snowstorms. The only thing I added was the Rancho RS9000 steering stabilizer and all-weather floor mats. Don't miss your chance to own one of the last great Jeep Rubicons with low mileage and professionally built for Off-road. Even with the upgrades, the Jeep drives and tracks down the road perfectly! Even at the "Buy it Now" price, deducting all the upgrades, you would be buying a low mileage stock Rubicon for only $16,500. I reserve the right to end the auction early as it is for sale locally. A $500 Paypal deposit (non-refundable) is due at the end of auction. Jeep and title do not leave my possession until funds have cleared the bank. Jeep is sold as is/where is but I will try to help with shipping arrangements. Jeep is in excellent condition! You won't be disappointed. Any questions, just ask! |

2014 Jeep Patriot and Compass ditch CVT for six-speed auto
Mon, 07 Jan 2013It was reported in Automotive News a few months ago, but a new report on Allpar.com adds some details to news that the 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot will get a six-speed automatic to replace the CVTs they currently use. According to a tip provided to Allpar, the 2014 models will begin production in March and be on sale sometime in the summer. The Jatco-sourced CVT in use until now - Jatco is owned by Nissan and Mitsubishi - has been often criticized, and many won't be sad to see it go.
The incoming six-speed automatic is said to be an all-wheel-drive cog-swapper that's the work of Hyundai and Magna and has been paired with the DynaMax AWD system used in the Hyundai ix35 and Kia Sportage. It won't be the only Chrysler product using a transmission with ties to Hyundai: the six-speed automatic in the Dodge Dart comes from Powertech, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hyundai. With the Patriot and Compass said to be driving down the trail for the last time this year, it will be a short run for the new tranny and the rumored addition of a backup camera and power rear liftgate on the Compass.
2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition
Wed, 11 Dec 2013There will forever be a soft spot in my heart for the Jeep Wrangler. The last one I owned was red, and, as a 1990 model, had the square headlights derided by Jeep enthusiasts who grew up on the Civilian Jeeps that descended from their General Purpose military ancestors. As a teenager, I couldn't have cared less what shape its headlights happened to be - to me, a Jeep Wrangler represented freedom; a carefree do-it-all machine equally at home with the top stowed away in the summer or with the heater on full blast in the snowy clutches of Old Man Winter. In Dr. Seuss parlance, my square-headlighted Sneetch was just as worthy as any round-headlighted Sneetch.
All that said, I'll be the first person to advise against buying a Jeep Wrangler of any sort for owners who don't plan to use it as its makers intend. There's no good reason to punish yourself with a stiff and springy ride, a loud and somewhat drafty (though generally water-resistant) interior or the poor fuel economy expected of a block-shaped vehicle if you don't enjoy its other, more exciting benefits.
Of course, Jeep has done its darndest over the years to make the Wrangler as civilized as possible while keeping it as capable as federal law will allow. The 2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab edition is one of Jeep's latest attempts to attract attention from the upper reaches of the active lifestyle set, and I spent a week with one to see what makes the Moab special.
Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is our idea of a restrained Mopar shopping spree
Thu, 07 Nov 2013According to a recent report, the Jeep Wrangler is the most popular SUV for customization, and this is backed up by the fact that the iconic off-roader was just named the Hottest 4x4-SUV at SEMA for the fourth year in a row. Looking for ways to keep its customers in-house rather than going aftermarket, Jeep and Mopar are always teaming to offer exciting new parts and pieces for the JK Wrangler.
Compared to most other Wranglers on display at SEMA - as well as other Chrysler Mopar SEMA concepts - the Jeep Wrangler Copper Crawler is surprisingly reserved, but should be no less exciting for owners to give their Wrangler a distinctive look. Starting off with an eye-catching copper paint scheme, the Jeep then goes on a Mopar catalog shopping spree with its matte black grille, black beadlock wheels, two-inch lift, Rubicon bumper (with a winch and aero end caps up front) and rocker panel and taillight guards.
Jeep also upgraded the Wrangler's transfer case for low-speed rock crawling (hence the vehicle's name) and cold-air intake for extra measure.
