You are looking at a very clean '06 Rubicon that has never been off road or abused. I looked long and hard to find this Jeep, i sorted through alot of junk to find this gem. I am the second owner. The original owner was an older gentleman so i was told. It is pretty much loaded with options, i added the compass/temperature mirror using factory Jeep parts. I think the only options it doesn't have are the add a trunk and the 6-disc radio. This Rubicon has a hard top only, there is NO soft top with it. It has all the usual Rubicon features that i'm sure you already know about. The body has some stone chips and light scratches, there is a dent in the hood that will likely come out with a good smack from the underside. I added new wetsuit material type seat covers to the front seats, new Husky liner floor liners in the front only, the door pads have some scratches on them. I have performed all necessary fluid changes to both axles, transmission, engine(of course) and antifreeze too. I had the cooling system flushed at the dealership. I replaced the transmission pan and the engine oil pan with brand new Chrysler parts as the original ones were rusty and i didn't like them. The tires are a couple of years old and are getting down, they should give another year or so of service. The spare tire is still new, same brand/model as the road tires are. The Jeep is currently licensed and driven daily in the good weather, because it is winter here right now it is parked for the winter. I had it sprayed with oil last fall. It runs excellent, lots of power, runs straight down the road. I added a 2" BB lift along with a new Tom Woods custom rear drive shaft and adjustable rear lower control arms. It also has had the turn signal switch replaced, a new OPDA, a new Delco battery, belt, new parking brake shoes and lubed up the parking brake linkages, new lift struts on the rear hatch and one O2 sensor. I replaced the transmission mount with a new factory replacement unit and i converted the transfer case shifter linkage over to a stand alone unit from the troublesome/noisey factory setup. It is noted on carfax that at some point someone tapped the left front wheel and that caused the wheel to tilt in a very small bit that no one noticed at the time it happened until i bought the Jeep, i noticed it, so i installed an offset balljoint in the top and the lower was worn out so it got replaced with a standard balljoint. The wheel is straight and true now, i only did the balljoint for cosmetic reasons, i'm a stickler for things looking proper. No function of the axle is affected, it runs totally proper and smooth. I am telling you this so there is no surprises. As far as i know everything on this Jeep works as it should.

The mileage listed above has been converted from kilometers, the kilometers on this Jeep right now read 96,898kms which converted to miles comes out to 60,209miles. This Jeep is in Ontario Canada and it does have daytime running lights. There should be no problem importing this Jeep back into the United States as it was built there. The shipping and shipping costs are totally up to the buyer, i can give you a vehicle transporter name/number that is local if you like.

I have described this 2006 Jeep Rubicon to the best of my abilty. It is being sold as is where is with no warranty written or implied. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you get. Please bid only if you can afford to buy this Jeep Rubicon. I don't want to waste my time or everyone elses. A $500 non refundable deposit must be paid via PayPal within 48 hours of the auction closing and i would prefer the rest of the selling amount to be paid within 7 days of the auction ending. If you have questions please ask me before you bid, thank you.

Marchionne defends FCA recalls, says Wrangler won't be all-aluminum

Fri, May 22 2015

FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne recently received the 2015 Industry Leadership Award from the SAE Foundation. While speaking with the press after the event, the boss discussed his thoughts about some key issues regarding the company's future. One of the big regulatory issues facing FCA at the moment is the upcoming public hearing by the National Highway Traffic Safety into the automaker's handling of 20 recalls. Marchionne has no intention of testifying there, according to The Detroit News. The CEO also thinks that the government regulator is becoming much more aggressive in how it handles safety campaigns, but the Feds aren't necessarily doing a very good job of communicating that. "We need to work with the agency in a very cooperative and open way to make sure that we can meet their requirements for their new stance," he said, according to the newspaper. "We have no option but to comply with their requirements and we will. I have nothing to hide in this process. I just want clear rules." Marchionne also dropped the news that the company has changed its mind about making the next Jeep Wrangler totally from aluminum. "Because of the difference in cost, not just the new material but the actual assembly process, I think we can do almost as well without doing it all-aluminum," he said to The Detroit News. This seemingly opens the door for the model to remain in production in Toledo, OH, but only just a crack. Marchionne says that the new Wrangler would still use a large amount of aluminum, and there are "at least" two sites in contention for the assembly. The company doesn't have too long to make a decision because the model reportedly launches in 2017.

WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block

Thu, 30 May 2013

Fans of old military vehicles might want to pay extra close attention to the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance coming up this weekend. Crossing the Bonhams auction block on Sunday are a pair of seemingly flawless World War II Jeeps, which are both expected to fetch serious dollars.
Lot Number 305 at the auction is a 1945 Ford GPW Jeep that has been fully restored, which is expected to command between $35,000 and $45,000. Shortly after the Ford GPW, a potentially more interesting 1944 Willys MB (shown above) will be auctioned off, but Hemmings raises some red flags about this Jeep. First, it is claiming to have been "discovered in its original crate about 30 years ago," but there is no proof or documentation of any sort. Also, it is claiming to be all original, but it was given a paint job "shortly after it was discovered." Even with these questionable descriptions, this Willys could reach between $20,000 and $30,000. Head over to Bonhams' site and Hemmings for more information on both WW2-era Jeeps.

Chrysler reports $166M net income for Q1, down $307M vs. 2012

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Preliminary first-quarter results from 2013 have been announced by Chrysler, and the company is reporting a net income of $166 million on revenue of $15.4 billion. Compared to this period last year, net income is down $307 million and revenue has dropped $1 billion.
Chrysler says that its quarter was negatively affected by the costs associated with launching its 2013 Ram Heavy Duty, 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and preparation for the return of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee pictured above. The launches should provide a strong second half of 2013, says the automaker. "We remain on track to achieve our business targets, even as the first-quarter results were affected by an aggressive product launch schedule," said Chrysler Group LLC Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne.
On a positive note, the automaker says worldwide vehicle sales are up 8 percent from one year ago, a number pushed by a 12 percent bump in U.S. retail sales. In addition, domestic market share has risen slightly, up to 11.4 percent from 11.2 percent last year. Read more in the official statement below.
