Overlanding-ready; there are no rear seats. I have installed a Springtail rear seat delete platform, and on top of that, installed a custom-designed sleeping platform. It is a CNC-cut 24mm (~1”) thick baltic birch hinged platform that elevates the floor of the jeep by 5 inches. All of the space under the platform is accessible for storage, either via slide-in from the rear or sides, or via cubby panels. The top is carpet lined, and includes anchor points for tie downs. It is attached to the stock anchor points; no tub modifications were made, and any residual threading from the rear seat removal was filled with TPU-printed threading to prevent water intrusion from below. In addition, I altered the rear cigarette lighter port to be an illuminated switch with a deutsch connector for attaching any 12V capable device (spotlight, fan, etc). There is also an additional USB-A dual port on the dash that is always on regardless of accessory power.
Includes all the standard JKU Rubicon features (front + rear lockers, electronic sway bar disconnect, 4.10 gearing, rock sliders, etc., I won’t list everything here that’s standard.)
OEM replacements include new Mopar front track bar, rebuilt steering box, front sway bar links, driver power window actuator, oil pump, and driver side brake line replacement. There is standard cosmetic trail wear (pinstriping, minor dings/scratches, etc) and a small star-break windshield ding that has been filled by Safelite and hasn’t changed size in the years since it happened. There is the probability that the steering stabilizer should be replaced as I noticed some bump steer on my last trip. Given the lift and tire size, you probably want to purchase your own jack as the stock jack is generally too short and I don’t have it anymore.
This Jeep has served me well, but it’s a touch too small for taking out the whole family, so I’m moving to a truck-based build. I also have a bunch of goodies I don’t know the price of, but there’s at least several hundred worth of value there (see below).
