Jeep was armored by Square 1 Armoring company out of Florida (still in business) and the build plate is mounted inside the motor bay. This vehicle was originally purchased by the US Department of Defense and was used by someone in the department for most of it's life (not many miles). It was then sold to a businessman in Canada, spent a brief time there before I aquired it via a broker in Washington state. I bought it about a year ago as I was planning on making quite a few trips to Mexico, but I am no longer going to do that and have no need for it anymore.
Original miles on this vehicle are as shown in the photo (38,193), but when it was moved to Canada they had to convert it to KM's which came out to 62,000 km's and once I brought it back to the states they transferred it back to miles.
Vehicle is in very good condition for it's age and it runs and shifts excellent. The only thing I did since I have owned it is change all fluids and had the master cylinder replaced. There are some normal small door dings and scratches as one would expect from a vehicle of this age.
Tires are in great shape (like new Michillens)
This jeep is armored with opaque and transparent armor components. I was told that the transparent armor is from Iso-Clima and the Opaque armor consists of high hardness steel lateral armor, with steel in the firewall with US Dept of State approved overlap system. Pillar posts and sail panels are armored with rigid composite armor. Floor and roof armor is of layered ballistic composites. Tailpipe is caged and it appears the fuel tank it armored. I was told it had run flats but cannot confirm it.
I'm not an expert on armored vehichles, so I cannot guarentee everything I was told. I can guarentee this is an armored vehicle built for the DOD and the DOD never bought anything under a B4 level. I believe this jeep to be either B4 or B5 level armor.
The hood alone must weigh a hundred pounds, it's heavy.
There are some issues with the windows; the front windshield is cracked and there is some distortion in the passenger side front and rear window along with the drivers side rear. Also, the hood stand is missing.
The Jeep is still drivable with the front windshiled cracked, but I would suggest replacing it as soon as possible. I will give the winning bidder contact info for the manufacture who quoted me about $3200 for a new front windshield. This is a very good price and will pass the info along.
If you know anything about these vehicles they are very expensive to buy (even used discreet armored vehichles are expensive). I'm not going to give it away, but somebody will get a good deal.
Vehicle is being sold 'as is' and no warrenty is given or implied.
Shipping costs are to be buyers.
Email me with questions.

Jeep mulling power top for next Wrangler
Fri, 07 Mar 2014Jeep is hard at work on the next-generation Wrangler, though the truck is still a few years from hitting the trails. The new model will still be aimed at off-roaders, but rumors suggest it will be a little more comfortable than previous versions to appeal to more people.
According to Road and Track, Jeep is developing a power-retractable top as an expensive option for the Wrangler. There is no word if the top in question is a sliding canvas rollback like the ones found on many European vehicles or a full convertible hardtop or softtop, nor do we know whether it would be made available on two- or four-door models. It might be a nice feature for some buyers but would certainly add complexity to a truck already known for its ruggedness. We asked Jeep for confirmation, but Jeep spokesperson Todd Goyer could only remind us that the company "can't comment about future products."
In news that is likely to irk the faithful, R&T reports the next model may also ditch its folding windshield for improved safety and possibly even get rid of its rear-mounted, full-size spare tire. The new Wrangler won't go completely soft, though, and will reportedly still feature removable doors and solid axles.
Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.
Jeep Wrangler Willys Wheeler wants mountains, not a stage
Wed, 20 Nov 2013We've said it before and we'll say it again - while we usually grow tired of the endless barrage of special edition vehicles, that isn't the case with the Jeep Wrangler. Every unique model we encounter seems cooler than the one before it, and this Willys Wheeler Edition is no exception.
The Willys Wheeler package is sort of a throwback to early Jeep CJ models, and wears "Willys" stickers on the hood. There's also a gloss black grille, rock rails to protect the side sills, and unique 17-inch black wheels wrapped in meaty BF Goodrich KM Mud Terrain tires. For proper off-road prowess, this special edition uses a Dana 44 rear axle with a limited-slip differential and a 3.73 final drive ratio.
Look for the Willys edition to hit dealerships early next year, starting at $25,795 for the two-door version and $29,595 for the four-door. Feel free to read all about it in the press release below.
