Vehicle Description
What this 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited represents is the
state-of-the-art in off-roading, enhanced by a few well-chosen
aftermarket modifications. If there's a remote corner of the planet
that you're eager to visit, this Jeep will absolutely get you
there.
The mistake a lot of folks make with the Wrangler is assuming that
its comfortable interior and long list of creature comforts has
made it soft. Well, they're dead wrong. This is hardcore
off-roading at its best, although from the looks of the bright
yellow paint, it hasn't been anywhere more rugged than a gravel
driveway. Big fender flares, butch-looking step plates, and an
oversized front bumper with a brush guard and LED lighting all
suggest that it scoffs at climbing mountains and bounding over
boulders, and it's all in very good condition. Of course, it has
been driven and enjoyed, showing 83,805 original miles, but it
definitely looks the part of a vehicle that stickered for more than
$35,000 (I'll pause here to give you a moment to get your jaw off
the floor). With four doors, it's actually quite roomy and
practical, but with that towering stance and industrial details,
there are no doubts about this 4x4's intentions. And all the Jeep
DNA is there, from the squared-off greenhouse to the familiar
grille and round headlights (augmented by LED auxiliary lighting),
so you shouldn't worry about not being recognized. And if you want
practical, there's even a spare tire hanging off the back.
Inside, it's a comfortable cocoon of luxury, which is quite
startling in a Jeep, never mind a Wrangler. The list of goodies is
extensive, including air conditioning, cruise control, a tilt
steering column, a powerful stereo with Bluetooth interface, and
enough speakers to be heard at the other end of the Grand Canyon.
It's also got a fairly comprehensive array of instrumentation in a
very handsome instrument panel that's no longer just a flat sheet
of metal like in the good old days. It was ordered with a factory
3-piece hardtop, which includes two removable panels over the front
seats that adds to the open-air experience of owning a Jeep. Oh,
and there's a set of tube doors as well, in case you want to go
full Jeep out in the wild.
The engine is a 3.6 liter V6 that truly transformed the Wrangler.
Faster and more efficient than the old V6, it gives this Jeep the
moves to match its looks. This is a Jasper crate engine with about
3000 miles on the clock, so it's ready to enjoy. The installation
looks extremely clean and you wouldn't know it's not a factory
piece just by looking at it. And it sure is clean! An automatic
transmission means it's reasonably economical on the pavement and
cruises nicely at highway speeds, so go ahead and use it as a daily
driver. Aftermarket additions include a 6-inch Pro Comp suspension
lift with heavy-duty shocks, so if it wasn't ready for the rough
stuff before, it certainly is now. Custom Dick Cepek wheels give it
just the right aggressive look and carry giant 35x12.50-17 Nitto
Trail Grappler off-road radials.
Go anywhere, do anything was always the Jeep's mantra, but it has
never been this easy or this luxurious. Call today!
