2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon For Sale This 2006 Jeep
Wrangler Rubicon is a black-on-black, lifted trail build powered by
a stroked 4.7L (288 cubic inch) inline six. 2006 was the final
model year of the TJ generation, and this one keeps the AMC-derived
4.0L architecture that Wrangler owners know well, with displacement
and supporting hardware taken well beyond the factory setup. The
engine build is reported to be two years old with roughly 12,000
miles on it, and the odometer is exempt.The engine starts with a
4.0L block (327 and 328 castings) bored .040 to .060 over and
fitted with a SCAT stroker crankshaft, forged ICON pistons,
Hastings piston rings, Enginetech main and rod bearings, a Melling
oil pump, and a Fel-Pro performance gasket kit. The rotating
assembly is balanced, the camshaft is OEM-spec, and compression is
9.3:1. Output is listed at 230 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque,
a typical figure for this combination and a clear step up from the
factory 4.0L's 190 horsepower. Airflow is handled by a Newcomer
Racing 70mm wide-mouth throttle body and a ported and matched
stock-casting intake manifold. A Mishimoto aluminum radiator (about
1.5 years old, with new hoses) manages cooling, and transmission
and steering coolers add capacity for hard trail use. Power goes
through an automatic transmission.The chassis is set up for serious
off-road work. A Clayton long arm lift kit raises the Jeep to clear
36-inch Super Swamper tires, mounted on 15-inch ION alloy wheels
with a full-size spare. As a Rubicon, it began life with Dana 44
axles and factory locking differentials, and an anti-rock sway bar
adds to the traction hardware. Four-wheel disc brakes with drilled
and slotted rotors are backed by a new brake booster and reservoir.
Underbody and fuel tank skid plates protect the vulnerable parts,
and the frame and underbody have been coated with Noxudol rust
inhibitor. A custom front stinger bumper and custom rear bumper
frame the body, with a Superwinch EPi9.0 10,000 lb winch with nylon
cord up front and a vented hood for added airflow.Inside and out,
the Jeep wears a black soft top, upgraded LED headlights and tail
lights, and an LED third brake light mounted in the spare tire. A
Bluetooth stereo with a subwoofer and new Rough Country neoprene
seat covers round out the cabin. This is a well-equipped,
mechanically focused Rubicon for someone who wants real trail
capability and more torque than the stock six ever offered.NFI
