So I got another JK. A 2011 JK sport to be exact. After selling the Jeepster and going to Camp Heep I thought it would be nice to have something smaller for the trails. The Golden Eagle does great don't get me wrong. I just wanted something a little more maneuverable on the trail. It is usually only me on trail rides now so I don't need all the room of the JKU. I still have the Golden Eagle it is not going anywhere right now.
After about 3 weeks of constant searching I found this one. Wranglers have kept their value well and most everything I found was out of my price range, which was no more than 14K$. Honestly did not think it would be that difficult, but almost all of them were super high mileage or had several accidents. This one popped up on an Autotrader ad and I was lucky to be the first to contact him about it. Also was lucky that he still held honorable values, cause he was contacted several times during my one day wait to go check it out. Many people offered to buy it sight unseen immediately.
About the Jeep
2011 Jeep JK in natural green pearl coat 3.8L automatic 3.73 gears
Base model, no power windows or locks
46000 miles on it
Completely stock vehicle.
Prior to the PO it was a rental in Hawaii. No accidents. Military move got it over to the mainland.
It sat curbside for a long time. Top was dried up and brittle, windows were the same. Definitely leaked water in, most of the drain plugs were removed so the tub didn't hold water, the cubby section where the jack is stowed is a different story. drain plug was left in and holding water. Jack is wasted along with all the tire change tools. the tub itself is good with no rust in it, surprisingly. PO had it inspected this month so that's good to go. It's a JK so all the plastic is faded and needs restored or replaced. Most of it has already been replaced. I'll add pics via Tapatalk shortly.
Family decided on the Swamp Rat name cause of the green color. :duh
