My husband put the best of everything into this Jeep.

It has less than 9000K miles, it is supercharged, has full coilover suspension front and rear, Full Traction long traver lift kit and all kinds of other cool stuff. You can see lots of pic's and more info at www.bajawoodworking.com/06_jeep_rubicon

Thanks for looking!

And it wont be cheap.

Mariz - 4-28-2011 at 04:53 PM

$30k and you can drive it home today!

That's less than $0.50 on the dollar from what we put into it!

Think how good you would look in it, DENNIS!
Shall I fill up the tank for you?

BajaWarrior - 4-28-2011 at 04:56 PM

I looked at your photos on your website... Very nice Jeep. Where is this vehicle registered and do you have a clear Title?

Mariz - 4-28-2011 at 04:58 PM

Thank you.

Vehicle was registered in Ca. 2009

Clear title...we own it out right.

Just so you guy know...we put it up for sale here first. You all get first shot!

If there's no interest in a few days it goes on Craig'sList.

Thanks. I have an '08 Sierra....2500 miles on it. I know how much fun they are. Had I not bought mine...well? Who knows.
I'm trickin' mine out as well. Don't want anything simple occupying my garage space. :biggrin:

drzura - 5-1-2011 at 05:20 PM

I'll offer 10 grand for that thing..

Mariz - 5-1-2011 at 06:11 PM

Offer it 2 more times and it's yours! :tumble:

drarroyo - 5-1-2011 at 06:18 PM

Why do I get the impression there's one peeed off hubby in the backround!? :lol:

Hook - 5-1-2011 at 06:21 PM

What drives the supercharger on this unit?

NICE............and it's a TJ UNLIMITED!!! You should mention that in your subject line. I LOVE MY UNLIMITED!!!! Room for storage w/o the long wheel base of a JK.

Mariz - 5-1-2011 at 07:01 PM

My hubby doesn't get peeed...he gets even! Trust me!

He says the supercharger is driven off the serpentine belt that powers everthing else. It is a twin-screw design, the most efficient kind. It is also intercooled and has an oil line connected to the motor.

He also said that this is no hot rod jeep...even though it has the SC, it drives like a normal jeep... it has more power only when needed. It doesn't get hot...even here in the summer idling around town. It does need premium gas.

We have lowered the price on the Jeep to $25,900.00 if anyone is interested. It would be a great Jeep for the some of the more adventurous Nomads.

Thanks, Mari

P.S. There were a few questions regarding smog issues...the modifications to the engine are all 50 state legal and have CARB stickers.

$5,000.
got to be kidding asking $25,000 for a 7 year old car that when new one can be bought off lot today for 28,000.

Mariz - 5-14-2011 at 02:44 PM

I guess that's your way of saying you're not interested.

Have a nice day.

As they say here in New Mexico

"Jeeps are built - not bought"

Mariz - 5-14-2011 at 03:34 PM

We put a lot of money (over 60K) and work into this Jeep thinking we would never sell it. Life happens. We're just trying to get back what we can.
It would be a great deal for someone who wants a well setup Jeep and not have to spend the money or time making all the upgrades.

I think the blue book is around 20K for a stock 06 Rubicon Unlimited. So someone will get 35K+ worth of upgrades for 5K...

DENNIS - 5-14-2011 at 03:53 PM

You'll sell this very cool Jeep, Mariz, and your price is right.
What you may not have mentioned is, the Jeep is down south with expired US registration. Is that right? And, if so, why?

Ken Cooke - 5-14-2011 at 11:30 PM

The Rubicon LJ is an incredible vehicle. Supercharged setups like this one fetch about $40,000.00 on Ebay. If you don't believe me, check for yourselves. Sorry you have to sell, Mari...

Mariz - 5-15-2011 at 05:12 AM

It is so nice when people who know what they're talking about voice their opinions, thank you. It reminds me of my mans favorite saying "Some men are wise, some men are other wise."

DENNIS, the only reasons we have not registered it is that we are permanent residents here in Baja and making the 1500 mile round trip for inspection and paying the unbeleivably high CA DMV fees for a vehicle we had never planned to take back there, didn't pencil out for us. Helping cover these costs for the next owner is why we priced it the way we did.

My husband was born and raised in CA, he is so disappointed with what has happened to his home state I doubt he will ever return there.

South dakota registration could be an option. Do it all on line with no inspections and the price is extremely affordable.
If you arn't familar with this, we've discussed it a lot here and I'm sure you could search it out. If not, you can ask here. Nomads love to repeat themselves. :lol:

Hook - 5-15-2011 at 07:05 AM

Are the "extras" listed at the bottom of your webpage included in the price or in addition to the price? (rack, tube doors, etc.)

How much, if any, is it lifted?

I'm not familiar with CA registration any more. If you are in arrears on the registration, must you clear that up before it can be registered in another state? Sometimes states attach leans on finances until they are cleared.

[Edited on 5-15-2011 by Hook]

Mariz - 5-15-2011 at 07:11 AM

We will include all the extras for a full price offer. That's about $2K worth.

The Full Traction Long Travel lift is 4.5"

It all so has a 1" body lift.

When I registered my beater Nissan, they only asked for the Pink Slip. That shows registered and legal owners should a bank be carrying a note, but I don't think SD cares what is owed, if anything, to the late, great state of California.

Lauriboats - 5-15-2011 at 07:32 AM

Did you place a California non-op on the Jeep? We are familiar with California and their fees, that is why our vehicles are registered in South Dakota. Pretty sure that the back fees will need to be paid. What was the last year that you did the registration on the jeep?

Mariz - 5-15-2011 at 07:45 AM

Last registered 2009...no non-op.

El Camote - 5-15-2011 at 10:39 AM

Having made many mistakes with the CA DMV over the years, I was curious about this scenario. Looks like good news for potential buyers. The expired registration liability, which is considerable, stays with the seller.
Oooopsie! Registering as a non op back in 2009 would have been a small, one-time fee and avoided a whole lot of expense and DMV/Franchise Tax Board hell.

As long as the vehicle is promptly registered in California after sale, the buyer will just be on the hook for sales tax, transfer fee and current year registration.
What I would worry about is it passing CA smog inspection with the after market upgrades. I would ask the smog inspector to do an off-line test first in case it fails and the info. wouldn't be transmitted to Sacramento. If CA has a record of it failing as a gross polluter, your retest options narrow.

That's what's involved in reregeristering in CA. Looks like out of state, if possible, is a better option.

gnukid - 5-15-2011 at 10:49 AM

I believe you can pay past due fees and go no-op without smog, go online and try. Anyway, as we've discussed here, vehicles that stay in Baja may be registered to California and be smog exempt for legal CA residents using the DMV white declaration of facts form, most of Baja is exempt except TJ/Tecate. In fact using this form much of California is exempt for vehicles that do not return to urban regions.

I dunno....3 months back I brought a car back into the States to get it smogged. It was from below Rosarito. DMV told me there is no such exemption, and I had to smog it in the same county that the registration address shows.

My question is more like: Is this 2006 Jeep LEGAL to drive thru Baja while trying to get it up to CA.?

Mariz - 7-1-2011 at 04:30 PM

Bump.

And new lower asking price $24,500.00

Thanks

wakemall - 7-16-2011 at 05:54 PM

I have seen this Jeep. It looks brand new and worth everything they are asking. The owners are super honest and very good people.

Mariz - 8-6-2011 at 06:11 AM

Jeep is gone.

Thank you.

DENNIS - 8-6-2011 at 06:28 AM

Somebody got a nice ride. Congrats.....buyer and seller.
