2010 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited 4×4

“When it comes to massive capability, Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and Unlimited Rubicon have the brawn. Wrangler Rubicon boasts best in class approach and departure angles, best in class ground clearance, solid front and rear axles, electronically locking differentials, huge tires, steel plate underbody armor, and the Rock-Trac transfer case for great off road capability. When control is everything, choose Rubicon or Unlimited Rubicon.” Excerpted from the 2010 Jeep sales brochure.

For consignment, a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited 4×4 with a title verified 87,182 actual miles. Rock rails and a 4-inch lift set this one apart and this very capable Jeep is ready to take on some rough terrain and accept all the ducks you can throw at it.

Exterior

Fellow overlanders won’t lose track of you in your Flame Red Rubicon, a vibrant exterior color now lifted and riding high over the 17-inch BMF wheels wrapped in 37-inch LT rated tires. The Rock bumper up front not only clears brush from the grille, but the accompanying Mile Marker winch, light bar, and D-shackles will make sure you’re getting out alive, and upright, even on solo runs. The three piece Safari top is a practical piece and is color coordinated with the side mirrors, fender flares, door handles, bumper, and rock rails. Up close, evidence of the 87,000 miles shows is some love marks which include rock chips up front, a peppering of chips on the hood, surface rust on a rock rail, scrape marks on the plastic window sill liners, a repair on the top, small dent and surface rust on the tailgate and chipped paint elsewhere.

Interior

Standard fare on the door panels which exhibit exterior red framing dark gray plastic inserts that house integrated handles and hardware in Jeep’s prolific use of oval designs and each door presents in clean condition with requisite tire track design on the storage bins. Two tone gray bucket seats and rear bench are also in clean condition with no rips or tears. Clean and standard is how you’ll find the front, from the steering wheel forward where molded plastic frames, silver rimmed gauges and an AM/FM/CD unit in the center stack along with the A/C panel. A black shifter rises from the center console along with range selector and a fishnet storage pocket over black carpet, all under the white panels of the transformable Safari top with soft red handles strapped to the roll cage.

Drivetrain

Under the hood, we have a 3.8 liter V6, rated at 202 horsepower and enhanced with a 1.5″ throttle body spacer and Big Gun intake. It’s mated to a 6-speed manual transmission that can split power between the two Dana 44 axles.

Undercarriage

Clean underneath with some rough surfaces that have been painted over and locked in. A single exhaust includes a stock style muffler and power disc brakes are noted front and rear. Suspension includes a 4 link with coil springs at both ends, a 4″ lift, new control arms, springs, and Rough Country shocks.

Drive-Ability

Move over. Seriously, move over. This ride gives us a road king like attitude and frankly, it feels like it can take on the world. It’s tall, wide, and bright and rowing a manual is rarely this much fun. And because it’s been pampered, all functions on board operate as they should and we ride our flat surface back to the mall. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

Did you know there are parks and trails set aside for off roading fun? There’s likely one near you and if you want to experience all the fun that wild terrain can deliver, you need a ride like this to make it happen! As we write this, summer is fast approaching and the call of the wild will soon be upon us. Are you going to answer the call, or live vicariously through overlanders on YouTube again this year?
