Remember all the smog requirments, Jim. I would imagine the equipment has been removed.

That car would cost at least a thousand bucks to import into Mexico today. It would be a shame to throw that away.

2001=Not a Rubicon

It is a nice-looking 2001 model. Not a Rubicon model - which didn't come onto the scene until Fall 2002 as an '03 model and sold in limited numbers (8,000) until Fall of 2003 when the Rubicon package became synonymous with the higher-end of the Jeep Wrangler model.

Thanks Dennis ,now that i discovered where EL Comitan is ,and the import process it was a dumb question,

Nice TJ, sport edition. Not a rubicon. Great mileage and price. Should sell quickly.

I have the same model, only slightly better IMO!

What is this "smog equipment" you are referring to? I see this generic term thrown a lot with old timers down here. Are you referring to the catalytic converter? Removing that provides a negligible performance and greatly reduces the resale value of the vehicle in America. It's also a crappy thing to do as it does a lot to minimize harmful emissions.

Yes...as well as oxygen sensors.
This car is for sale in Mexico. Tell them.

Not comitan's fault...
Photo in the ad he posted shows the word RUBICON. But, that was added to the side of the Jeep, as that's not a factory sticker or factory painted on word... the factory lettering doesn't even look like that. As Ken Cooke posted, a Rubicon Jeep didn't exist in 2001.

Fuel filler restrictor, charcoal cannister, pvc valve(s), cat, removal of stock headers/exhaust systyem, different engine air filters

removing an O2 sensor from a car with fuel injection seems absurd
