2005 Jeep Unlimited (LJ)
69,348 miles, as of today - will slowly increase as I occasionally drive it
4.0L straight 6
6spd manual transmission

I bought this Jeep from a California seller in April of 2017, at that time the Jeep had approximately 67,500 miles. The Jeep was purchased new in California and driven daily until 2015 then was sold to a family friend as a second vehicle. The Jeep ended up sitting in his garage the majority of the time and in 2017 the second owner decided to sell the Jeep. Upon purchasing I had the Jeep shipped to Houston and it's been garaged since.

The carfax reports "structural damage" in 2010. The origin owner was rear-ended and only the rear bumper had to be replaced. No repainting or anything beyond a bumper replacement. The previous owner worked at a Jeep dealership and verified that there was, in fact, no structural damage. I also had my local Jeep mechanic look it over and verify the same.

Delete thread. Ban user. Boo this man. and all those other memes to disapprove of you selling this jeep.

You know tarponfly is selling a skiff on the OB that would go perfectly with this.

Very nice. Value on these things is amazing.

No kidding. Resale on a 10+ yr old jeep rivals a diesel truck.

Wow. That LJ is built exactly how I would do it.

I want my friends to buy this.

$2100, final offer.

How does that lift ride? I am between that one and a Currie on my LJ. Glad to see you can easily run 35's with it.

Comparatively speaking, I think it rides fine. It rides much better than my friend's Jeep with a 3.5" RC lift and 1" BL but not as smooth as RickSawyer's TJ on the RE long-arm kit.

I bought the Jeep with the RE kit already installed. If I were starting a build from scratch and buying a full kit I would probably go with Currie.

Great looking jeep. I've been looking for a stock white rubicon LJ 6spd for a while now and white LJ's seem fairly rare. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks. I really wanted a Rubicon, as well, but figured I'd be upgrading both F&R axles at some point so decided the white sport was all I needed.

Jeeps are fun until you enter the ramp for the highway.

Yeah they're definitely not built for drag racing. I find myself plodding along in the right lane like a little old lady headed to church more often than not.

CatAg found the cure for that. You just have to get over the whining sound.

if you have the top off/down you don't have to worry about that.

Agree with your decision if you're going down that road. My hope is to never have to touch the axles or t-case and plan on the rubi equipment being enough.

Do these really sell for this much?

I was considering buying a jeep, but I can't help laughing out loud when I see high mileage vehicles with standard transmissions passing on costs of upgrades to the end users and then telling me with a straight face that its a good deal. That's like 7.3 Diesel level LOLZ.

Not a slam against OP so much as a realization that I may not be 'Jeep' material.

Sort of a different situation with LJs.

Don't do it man. You' Just regret it and end up spending more money buying another one down the line.

Agreed.

I'm on my third Jeep so far in 5 years. Bought a nice one, sold it and bought a beater that was a POS, sold that one and got a high mileage LJ (6 cyl, 6 spd) that I love so far.

Noticed your posting was removed from CL. Have any luck selling or did you decide to keep it?

I wasn't getting much real interest from CL. A few people would ask questions then go radio silent and more people would bid me a ridiculous number. I've still got it posted a few other places but I am not under any pressure to sell it.

CL can be fickle depending on the time of year.

I've still been day dreaming about an LJ and check CL every couple of weeks to see what's out there, but then there are days I need to pick up a few sheets of 4x8 plywood or some steel and I'm thankful to still have my truck. If you ever decide you need an 07 Tundra with less miles than your Jeep, let me know.

will do!

Company car makes the driveway tight.

Question. Notice you are running 35" Tires - does it have stock axles/gear ratio? If so any issues? I have heard that if when you get to 35" tires you really need to re-gear.

Also since CL ad is down, what price are you asking? I just picked up an automatic LJ for my trail rig - had to look for months to find what I wanted and the value for decent LJ's are high and not coming down......

I responded to your PM regarding the 35"s. I had the LJ offered at $21k.

Back for sale, under a little more pressure to sell now:

You have an awesome Jeep. GLWS

I wish it was an Auto, might have to pull the trigger. BTW I managed to lose your PM response to my question on re-gear for the 35's. Do you mind resending it please?

Thank you!
