The Wrangler has long been an overlanding icon, and with ever-increasing aftermarket support, the opportunities to customize and optimize this platform for adventure continue to grow exponentially. Subsequently, no two are the same as demonstrated by recent offerings posted to our forum including a 2015 “Expedition Buid”, 2021 Unlimited Willys, and 2018 American Fastbacks Badlands. Sure, if you’re committing to a long-term trip or living on the road full-time, the modestly sized Jeep has its compromises, but these are eclipsed by the platform’s benefits. Further still, there’s a huge selection of accessories that can transform this compact 4WD into a functional micro-camper (reference builds from Drew Simms and American Safari). Cue today’s 2017 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (62,000 miles) showcasing a plethora of premium modifications and topped with an Ursa Minor camper. All that’s left to do is add a modular camper interior and find your next adventure (for interior inspiration check out Justin Pitcairn’s epic 2018 Rubicon Recon Camper).
From the Seller:
“Everything works great! The Wrangler is in good shape and ready to hit the road and trails. I’m only selling it because I built a full-size Ram for the family and haven’t driven the Jeep more than a few trips to town in the past year. It’s time to let it go for someone else to enjoy.”
