Used Car of the Day: 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon
Today we bring you a heavily modified 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon as our used car of the day.
This is for your off-roading dreams.
There are only 23,000 miles on this bad boy with the 3.6 and an automatic. Despite a 3.73 rear axle and some mods, the seller says it hasn't been off-road, in addition to being meticulously maintained.
The mods include Alpine audio, a winch, tube fenders, rock rails, off-road shocks, a 3.5-inch lift, aftermarket bumpers, an aftermarket tire carrier, and 37-inch tires.
Check out this Los Angeles-based rig here. Our seller is asking $39,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

The boy JB was a friend of mine
'Til I caught him in my car tryin to steal my Alpine
Pass. I've known many a Wrangler owner who bailed upon having the epiphany that these are terrible on the street. Most traded to something that's still capable of facilitating outdoor life but is less compromised for daily use.
This specimen is overpriced, too. KBB says ~$33k. The seller has taken three grand off since Tim published this.
