So I am looking at a 2007 Rubi Unlimited. It has 4.5 Teraflex lift. It looks like (from my initial look over) that the 1st owner did not take it wheel'n much. The guy I am buying it from only had it for 1 year and his daughter mostly drove to school.

What should I be looking for regarding trail wear and tear? How much is too much?

Cheers!!!

 

I would start by looking over the skid plates & Rubi rails for any signs of obvious big hits. Look at the drive shafts and front axle to see if it has gussets on it, if not, check that it's not bent at all.

 

Look for brush scratches and mods. If it stock and the body is straight then its probable hasn't been wheeled "hard" but that's what jeeps are for its not the end of the world if it been wheeled. Also check out the skid plates. Outside of all that standard principals apply like any other used buy.

 

Also see how it tracks down the road.
