The Jeep Wrangler is a 4WD icon and a pinnacle overland platform. It’s one of a select few vehicles optimized for when the tarmac ends and is, for all intents and purposes, engineered for the rigors of the backcountry. It’s for these reasons and more that it’s been the vehicle of choice for some of the most challenging overlanding trips, including Dan Grec’s (The Road Chose Me) 54,000-mile trip around Africa. It’s also the aftermarket darling with unparalleled access to parts, accessories, and services to uprate it for the road less traveled. Consequently, no two are the same, whether you want a lightweight trail rig or a fully equipped micro-camper. With this in mind, cue today’s 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (215,777 miles chassis/92,000 miles engine), which is without doubt one of the most impressive and heavily modified examples we’ve ever featured. It’s not simply a random assortment of parts and accessories, but rather a meticulously curated, field-proven build intended for the most ambitious adventures. At its heart is a Cummins 4BT conversion (professionally installed by Bruiser Conversions), which is known for exceptional reliability and longevity (with maintained examples often clocking half-a-million miles) and has been further enhanced with top-tier components (see the original listing for details). This is paired with an array of desirable hardware to enhance all-terrain capability, which includes Hutchinson Rock Monster wheels with Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx tires, a lifted and uprated suspension, Dana 60 axles, front and rear Eaton E-lockers, a snorkel, and much more. Once at camp, generous provisions make you feel at home with an exterior shower, awning, integrated storage (including lockable drawers), and a dual battery system. At $60,000 OBO, this one-of-one build is an impressive value and a fraction of what it would cost to recreate.
From the Seller:
“This one-owner Jeep loves to be off-road. Some hidden dust from 36,000 miles in southern and eastern Africa included. We have loved this Jeep and all the places it has allowed us to go. It has about 10 years of life on the road with the 4BT. No major problems, and it drives great. It’s a great adventure rig, and we will be sad to see it go. Available for viewing via appointment. Contact me to see and test drive it.”
