So I went and looked at the jeep this evening. As far as aftermarket, from what I can tell it has the following: trucklites head lights, 2 sets of rigid duallys, atlas front and rear bumpers, smittybuilt defender trail basket, alpline head unit, a pillar switch pod, volant CAI, and aftermarket muffler. The wiring for the off-road lights was extremely neat and routed through relays.
Tires are stock 255/75/17 and it appears there is no lift on it. It did have a winch at one point that was removed. I climbed under the jeep and found minor powder coat missing from the rock rails, but no dents, scratches, or gouges on the frame or skid plates indicating any major off-roading damage.
While test driving, it tracked straight and no death wobble up to 75 mph. The steering did feel a bit loose, but the 3 other jeeps in my family have loose feeling steering.
The flip side here is I'm also looking a new 2017 sport with the same options/axle gearing as the rubi, that is 400 miles away. Its listed at $29.6k and has hail damage, that the dealer is claiming they will fix. The way I see it, I am getting a much better deal in drivetrain infrastructure alone, not taking into account the aftermarket parts, given the low miles on the rubi.
Any flaws to my logic here?
I'm scheduled to go back on Saturday and look at it again. Anything else I should check out on it?
