2006 Rubi with 69,972 miles (may be a little more due to occasional driving while it's up for sale. I had Chrysler email the build sheet with all of the exact specs and the total number of Impact Orange Rubicon's built in 2006 (only 452). It is in super good condition with the interior and exterior showing very little signs of use. No dents, dings or notable scratches. There are a few rock chips due to driving that has been touched up. The black Sunrider soft top is in good shape as well (hardtop was sold by the previous owner). It runs and drives like it should. The interior is near perfect and still pretty much original with the exception of a set of front all weather floor liners by Quadratec, Pioneer Mixtrax satellite radio with USB connections and an under dash courtesy light disabling switch (just flip the switch when you remove the doors). Now the exterior and drivetrain is a different story. I wanted to build a trail beast while trying to keep the jeeps awesome originality. Starting with the suspension, I went with a full 4" coil spring lift using Teraflex springs and 8 Teraflex classic adjustable control arms. From there, I used Old Man Emu Nitrocharger shocks and a multitude of other high end components to complete the lift. I then added a set of 4 new Kenda Klever 285/75SR16 on the stock Moab Rubicon wheels. Next a new Rugged Ridge black textured front and rear tube bumpers with a set of KC off-road lights added to the front. Finally, a set of Poison Spyder rocker knockers with tube and a fuel door cover were painted to match the body color and installed.
The ONLY notable thing that I will say about this Jeep (if you want to even call it that) is that it originally was sold and driven up north and there is some surface oxidation on some of the bare metal parts under the jeep (muffler, hubs, nuts, bolts etc) as seen in some of the pics. It is not bad but I am a detail perfectionist and want to be as honest as possible. All of this work and upgrades were completed in May and has less than 100 miles since completion (tires still show signs of the nipple, see pics). I originally built this intending on doing some family rides only to realize that it is not going to work with my family of 5. I will consider taking a trade on the right 4 door automatic JK 4x4 (must be worked before the auctions end). I bought the Rola Adventure Series Bumper Pack for the gear which I will include in the sale for an additional $300 unless "buy it now" is used and I will throw it in (check them out online, they are awesome and cost well over $600 new, which this one is). Do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or specific picture requests. You wont be disappointed. Thanks, Dane

Fiat Chrysler picks Google, Samsung for global connected car system
Tue, Apr 30 2019DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler said on Tuesday it will use technology from Alphabet Inc's Google and Samsung to connect all its vehicles by 2022, providing music and video and facilitating future car-sharing and self-driving capabilities. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (FCA) will use Google's Android operating system globally instead of a mixture of software that varies by region, a spokesman said. The automaker will also use a cloud-based digital platform from Samsung Electronics Co Ltd's Harman unit. Unlike its rivals General Motors and Ford, FCA has spent virtually nothing on developing self-driving vehicle technology. This saves the company large amounts of money, but makes it reliant on outside parties to provide technology and systems. FCA said it will launch the new capabilities in the second half of 2019. The company said the system will aid owners "by predicting maintenance needs, locating fuel and charging stations, receiving traffic prompts and restaurant offers and providing live customer-care assistance at the push of the button."

Watch a Jeep CJ get disassembled and reassembled in minutes
Fri, Feb 16 2018Movie buffs! Remember the scene in the James Bond film 007: The Living Daylights where Timothy Dalton's character slices the floorpan off a police Lada using a laser, and when the driver hits the brakes the Lada's body simply jumps off its axles? That scene was immediately brought to mind as I watched this clip of eight Canadian mechanics disassembling a slightly modified Jeep in a matter of seconds. Having driven the Jeep to a complete stop, the technicians start unbolting it until the body lifts off the frame and the engine can be hauled away. It only took half a minute to turn the Jeep into just a chassis on wheels. As repair manuals say, refitting is the reversal of removal. Apparently the technicians have now honed their mechanical choreography to the point that the Jeep can be disassembled and reassembled in two minutes and 39 seconds; while I expect a great number of bolts having been removed beforehand and the likelihood of the Jeep falling to pieces with a sharp braking being significant, it is definitely impressive. It also reminds me of someone driving an old, dodgy car, having learned all its kinks to be able to keep it running. According to a Reddit thread, the pre-modified "Jifty Jeep" has been built (and taken apart, and rebuilt) by the School of Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RCEME) for exactly this purpose. The team travels all around Canada to practice their show, trying to shave seconds off their record. There are worse hobbies.
