This is a Connecticut Listing, Offered for sale is one of my pride and joys. I purchased this 06 Rubicon with 5K miles in 2006 from the original owner. 10 years later it is still completely stock and now has 69,345 miles. If you are new to Jeeps understand that this is the last year of the Rubicon Model with a inline 4.0 six cylinder motor. It is the last year of the TJ model overall and many consider it the last real jeep.You will consistently see Jeep Wranglers with the inline 4.0 on the road and being sold with over 250K miles with many that have been well maintained in the 350k range for total miles. If you do not understand the difference between a Rubicon and a Sahara, Sport or X, please look on line. It is not just the sticker on the hood. This is one of the rarest of colors with a rare automatic transmission and full doors. Proven to be one of the most desired Wranglers ever manufactured, this is a extremely clean, always garaged, well cared for daily driver. Though a New England Jeep it was washed religiously every time it was exposed to winter weather and it shows. This is a awesome Jeep. If I did not have a 06 Rubicon in a LJ version, I would never sell this Jeep. In these economic times I just cannot justify keeping both. When you get tired of looking at the rusty junk take a good look at this jeep. The Rubicon has just received a new factory fuel pump, new front tires, a alignment, a full emissions service and a fresh detail inside and out. It runs drives and goes down the road perfectly. The soft top is original to the jeep and has seen no winters and very little use overall. I installed a new set of OEM Tinted window curtains last year (my old set went on one of my sons jeep) and the zippers work perfectly. The top has had one small repair that would be hard to find if you didnt know what you were looking for. This Rubicon has a clean original rust free frame that has never been repaired in any way. This Rubicon still has all of the factory glass and the original one model year only Moab Wheels. It has had some paint work and the drivers side fender and rocker were professionally replaced. There was no suspension damage. This was not a roll over. It was professionally repaired with all OEM parts and has passed Connecticut DMV Inspection receiving a new title. Ive had a couple of questions about the repair. There is a picture of what the Rubicon looked like after the non licensed, uninsured non US citizen decided to pass me on the left while I was making a left turn. The second is what the jeep like looked like after the front fender and damaged body side skin were removed. The third is after repair with the jeep in primer prior to inspection. The new fender and body side skin are OEM and were purchased from a Chrysler Dealer. The original spot welds were drilled out and the new panel was attached in the factory location and welded in place. You would have to be a very experienced bodyman, that knew Wranglers, to pick up on the repair. 99.999% of the population would never know. As you can see from the pictures the accident was not a huge deal. I pushed the insurance company for the total lose because the adjuster convinced me that the frame was bent even though I drove the Jeep home after the accident with no issues at 70-75 down the highway. The adjuster was incorrect. Once we got the Jeep on the frame machine and measured it per factory specs it was determined that the body had shifted on the mounts and the frame was in fact straight. The insurance company paid me off for the value of the Jeep. (well above NADA)I purchased it back salvage. I repaired the Jeep and took it through the State of Connecticut Rebuilt Vehicle Inspection.The finish paint was applied in a commercial paint booth. I drove the jeep this past winter as my daily driver. The winter has passed. The weather is nice and my LJ is out of its winter hibernation.I have painfully decided to let my Orange Rubicon go in order to finance another project. The Rubicon has a clean Rebuilt Title and is ready for its new owner. I encourage any interested party to come and look at this Jeep in person. You will not be disappointed. Priced at market. Try to find another 2006 Orange Rubicon Automatic. I have a Hardtop and the factory Navigation package available but they will not be sold with the Jeep at the listed price. I will provide a OEM radio or a aftermarket radio with the Jeep, your choice. The rest of the premium sound system is intact including the factory sound bar, dash speakers and sub woofer. You can here the stereo while driving with the top down, even on the highway, loud and clear. Serious cash in hand parties only.The Jeep is to be paid for with certified funds before the title is transferred and it leaves my property. I would be happy to assist in arranging transportation or the loading your shippers truck after your purchase. I may also be willing to deliver, depending on the distance, for a fee. Sorry I will not quote shipping this vehicle all over the country. Unless you have a late model 50+hp 4x4 tractor with a loader, enclosed cab, factory remotes, with heat and ac I am not interested in a trade of any kind. Yes that means I am not interested in the car that your grandmother gave you. Sorry, I might be interested in your grandfathers late 60s American muscle, if it is a convertible. Ive had Jeeps since I was in school. That was a long time ago.I know them well.

Jeep recalls 92k Grand Cherokee SUVs over electrical issue

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Chrysler is recalling 91,559 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from the 2014 model year due to some serious electrical issues. All of the affected models were built between January 8 and August 20, 2013.
The NHTSA report states that, "Due to a disruption of computer communications and loose alternator ground wires, the affected vehicles may experience random illumination of multiple instrument cluster warning lights, loss of cluster illumination and loss of anti-lock brake system (ABS) and electronic stability control (ESC) function." The loss of ABS or ESC would greatly reduce a driver's ability to control the vehicle if things get squirrely, and since these failures would not be illuminated on the dashboard display, drivers would not be warned of the issue, increasing the risk of a crash.
The recall is expected to kick off sometime this month. Chrysler will notify affected Jeep owners and dealerships "will update the ABS and instrument cluster module software and tighten the alternator ground wire," according to NHTSA.

Chrysler Recalling Nearly 907,000 Cars, SUVs

Fri, Oct 17 2014

Nearly 907,000 Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep SUVs and cars are being recalled for alternators that can fail and heated power mirror wiring that can short and cause minor fires. The recalls, posted Thursday by U.S. safety regulators, push the total number of recalls so far this year 544, totaling a record of more than 52 million vehicles. The largest of Thursday's recalls covers nearly 470,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Chrysler 300s, and Dodge Chargers, Challengers and Durangos from the 2011 through 2014 model years. The alternators can fail, causing the 3.6-liter V6 engines to stall unexpectedly. The problem also can cause the electrical system to fail, as well as knock out power-assisted steering, antilock brakes and electronic stability control. It can even cause fire or smoke, according to documents Chrysler filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. NHTSA opened an investigation into the problem in July, and Chrysler began its own probe in August. The company analyzed warranty complaints and alternators that had failed. The alternator generates electricity to recharge the battery and run other devices. Chrysler investigators traced the problem to heat fatigue in an alternator diode. Chrysler said it received 322 complaints about the problem, while 55 people complained to NHTSA. The company said it knows of one crash related to the problem, but no injuries or fires. The company will replace the alternators with upgraded versions for free. Owners will be notified in November. The company says customers who see warning lights or suspect a problem should contact their dealers. The recall affects cars and SUVs sold mainly in the U.S. and Canada, but some were sold in Mexico and overseas markets. The second recall covers almost 437,000 Jeep Wranglers from 2011 through 2013. Water can find its way into the heated power mirror wiring harness and cause corrosion. That can cause a short and could cause a minor fire and smoke, as well as cause loss of function of the mirror. The problem was discovered in February after three Wranglers in Canada were damaged. Chrysler says it has 26 complaints about the problem, but it knows of no fires, crashes or injuries. Dealers will move the wiring and install a protective shield to keep water out at no cost to owners, starting in December. Most of the Wranglers are in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, but more than 78,000 were sold overseas.

2014 Jeep Cherokee flaunts its new contemporary curves

Wed, 27 Mar 2013


Only slightly more than one month ago, undisguised (and less-than-flattering) shots of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee were leaked online. Later that day, in an effort to suppress the uprising, Jeep countered with its own official photography offering us much clearer front and three-quarter views. We've been left to digest those pictures for weeks.
Now, mere hours before the fabric comes sliding off its newest mid-size sport-utility at its live reveal at the New York Auto Show, Jeep has released dozens of new images showing all four corners, plus a few interior shots, of its new Cherokee.
