Time to sell the JK and move on to the next vehicle I have wanted for a long time. This jeep has been owned by me for the last 5 years approx and is at home in Moab as well as the Dalton Hwy. My wife and I have driven this jeep to Alaska and back from NM as well as most of the trails and trips around NM, CO, UT, some of AZ and more. It indicated 138K miles 50k of that has been by me with 37s-40" tires, however only the body and frame have that mileage. Specs are as follows.

I believe that is the major things about this jeep,
Now for the things that people don't like, the body does have a fair number of scratches and dents. The jeep has all 4 custom tone rings and abs sensors but the ABS does not work, The tone rings should be remade again at one time vs the 2 different versions I have. Reason being the ABS module took a hit at some point by something on the brain and quit, it has been replaced but to reprogram the ABS it must sense and brake wheels one by one. With the aftermarket tone rings it doesn't like the information it sees so it won't program. Reason I have not addressed is well with a jeep like this abs doesn't really help, it often gets in the way of fun in the sand. I never bothered. The Atlas does not have the 250$ jk module to tell the dash to turn on the 4x4 light, which again never bothered me because I knew when in 4x4 or low. The front axle is from a 1 ton so it has about .5 of a degree of positive camber because of the heavy engine it had above it. The rear must have been overloaded before I got it and I didn't check before building it, but it has about 1 degree of negative camber. Again never really bothered me, just rotate the 2k worth of tires about 1k miles sooner than you normally would.
All of this said I am actually sad to be parting with this jeep as it's been on so many trips with my family it's a part of the family and my baby. It makes a glorious noise when on the throttle that is second to none and yes it will smoke the 40s on pavement around corners. I am not shy, I have used and tested this jeep to the limits, it has been driven on and offroad all the way to the Arctic Circle in Alaska one summer. I would not hesitate to do the trip again tomorrow or to take it to Johnson valley, Rubicon, or Moab. It tows my expo trailer with ease. I would like to get this jeep to a good home that will use it and take care of it.

Located in ABQ NM, Clean title in hand, 138,500 miles indicated
Asking $39,500 OBO, and I already have my new toy at the house so not really looking for trades, however something interesting as part trade might be possible.
