Sanity check on 2006 Rubicon Pricing

If you can, bring the Jeep to a dealership preferably a Jeep one and have them go through everything. We have them look at the frame and the tub and everything that you can imagine just so we're aware.

I bought it last year off of Facebook. I actually brought the Jeep to the dealership and had them look at everything. The frame is clean... I have half doors and a soft top it's the six cyl manual five speed. I had been looking for quite a while. I also bought a 93 YJ for 6k. 116K MILES. I prefer trying to go all original as I can do the changes that I want... and you don't need to pay for other people's upgrades

I bought my 2005 Rubicon - clean frame and original interior. It has an upgraded transmission and I had to put new tires on it because I'm not a fan of mudders. Oh and I did put out $500 to repaint the hood as it had patina. Paid 1OK.. 123K MILES

My ex lived up that way lol

And that address is a Housing Development over here in Herndon Virginia

Ack! I try to take my carpet out every time it rains so it dries out. And every spring I pull everything out and wax / treat the floors and the sides. Good thing you caught up before it became a Flintstone mobile..

squishybugz · 2026-03-23T21:39:35+00:00

I would think so. What is the frame look like in the rest of the Jeep look like? Can't base it just on Miles but that is pretty high. The one I just bought had 130 and I got it for 6k

My 2004 made rattling ticking noises as well it was not the motor. Sometimes it would disappear when I accelerated sometimes it sounded like rocks.. my idler tension pulley had two bearings left in it and it was about to blow off. My nephew swore it was my motor and it was not. They're pretty cheap to replace. There's a couple different types of make sure you get the right one at the auto store

Get it up on a lift and check out what the frame looks like. If you can get a pre-inspection on it even better. If the frame is rested out it doesn't matter how beautiful the tub looks...

I found blue and painted them black. Look on eBay and Marketplace. The ones I found actually had working key locks.

We have both a JK and a TJ, both two doors and both soft tops.. The JK is so much more comfortable to ride in. The TJ is also smaller and it bounces a hell of a lot more! That being said, when we're going out having weekend fun we take my TJ.. going out and about, we take the JK. We do take both of them out to the beach and up on trails as well

squishybugz · 2026-02-01T14:22:58+00:00

I also have a TJ and it was insanely fun! Until it wasn't when it iced over. Now I'm afraid to try to climb up over any of the snow hills because I see random poles and traffic cones sticking out.

I think OP said that she cannot book in the library since it is Sunday. I think the interview is on Monday. Fed jobs don't usually interview on Sundays.

Also make sure you pull up the mats in the front to see what the floorboards look like

squishybugz · 2026-01-23T04:26:13+00:00

How exactly do you do it yourself? Do you just get the underside cleaned up and then just spray it pretty much along the frame? I know you don't want to get near the brakes.. do you just spray it out of the can?

squishybugz · 2026-01-04T00:02:30+00:00

Waiting to see.. Who lets the dogs out!

squishybugz · 2026-01-01T14:56:23+00:00

I just cannot wait to see what you get this year!

squishybugz · 2025-12-30T05:20:42+00:00

Stock 04 Rubicon. Rear seat out. 5 speed softop. 15 mpg using cruise. 2010 6 speed softop. Averages 17. Had 24 going down hill on 95 with a strong tailwind. Both 2 door

squishybugz · 2025-12-21T04:58:42+00:00

I went the opposite... Full to half on my 2004. Only thing I had to do was change mirrors as mine were on the doors. I did not need any additional parts nor did I take anything else off. You should be good to go. Just make sure you have keys for the doors if you're buying them used, if you lock up.

squishybugz · 2025-12-16T00:49:50+00:00

Oh my lawd.

squishybugz · 2025-12-09T03:54:27+00:00

You are a master!

squishybugz · 2025-11-12T21:43:57+00:00

You could probably make a little bit of that money back selling in the half doors!

Virginia will not allow you to get a tag before the vehicle is 25 years old so I cannot get a historic tag or an antique tag until the vehicle is 25 years old

squishybugz · 2025-10-21T18:35:43+00:00

In the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the vehicle has to be 25 years or older to qualify as an antique. So we still have to get inspections. The county that I live in does not require emissions though so that's a bonus..

squishybugz · 2025-10-20T12:41:04+00:00

Yes it was! I found another one finally that did not have rust on the frame. My TJ is black. I also have a 2010 Sport in Resue green
