If you’re looking for sumptuous luxury and comfort, the Jeep Wrangler probably isn’t for you, but if you seek bulletproof go-anywhere dependability, look no further. The Wrangler is one of the most popular 4WD vehicles on our forum, with recent examples including this 2006 Rubicon Unlimited LJ, a 2016 expedition build, and a 2017 Unlimited Sport. It’s a platform synonymous with mountain-goat-esque capability thanks to a heavy-duty 4WD system, front and rear lockers, high and low range, and more. It’s a favorite with the team at Expedition Portal and has been discussed at length on the Overland Journal Podcast in Building the Jeep Wrangler for Overlanding. It’s a versatile platform that can be set up in various ways for vehicle travel, as demonstrated by builds from Dan Grec, 4XTrail, and Justin B. McBride. If you’d like a better idea of what it’s like to live on the road long-term in Wrangler, I highly recommend checking out Drew Simms’ YouTube channel. Today’s low-mileage (37,500 miles) one-owner example features desirable modifications and is priced at a competitive $25,000.
From the Seller:
“I’ve had this Jeep since it was brand new. Always garaged and has the Off Road Only AiRock Suspension with York compressor. When off-road, the suspension can raise and lower the Jeep (also from each tire independently and lean forward, back, and side-to-side). On-road, the suspension is actively controlled by the onboard computer to self-adjust and stay at on-road height. This Jeep is exceptional as is or would make a great base for a camper setup as the air suspension can level on any ground.”
