Default Planning a return to the JK family. :)

Well, I've been gone for a while (after selling my 2007 JK Unlimited X) and am getting the itch again. I ran across this one on autotrader... thoughts? I really liked my Jeep Green 07 but black aint bad! And it's a manual Rubi!

Cars for Sale: 2010 Jeep Wrangler 4x4 Unlimited Rubicon in Duluth, GA 30096: Sport Utility Details - 320260657 - AutoTrader.com

Yes, No? Maybe So?

I think it looks pretty good. Bumpers, tires, winch, floor mats, that thing on the dash. I think its worth taking a look at closer.

yea that actually seems like a good deal (maybe too good?)... you can get a 2012 sport for the same price but you trade new engine and 30k less miles for rubi (rock rails, lockers, sway disconnect with button push, leather),lift, winch, 35's, rims... Even if it was a budget boost with shock adapters you have minimum $5 grand in upgrades (not counting the upgrade to rubi over sport)

Okay, thanks guys. I was kinda thinking the same thing. My only concern is that whoever did the upgrades didn't bother to recalibrate for the tires and actual miles may be higher. I'll let you guys know!

Well, the jeep was sold by the time I got to go check it out. I've decided to go in a little different direction now... Any thoughts on this one? Planning to check it out this weekend...
