Re-listing this because mileage in original listing was in-accurate. Also had a problem with my other truck and was uncertain how long it would take to repair........so I had to postpone selling the Jeep. Will also post some updated pictures. Super clean 2014 Wrangler Rubicon X 2 Door!! EVERY option!! Leather heated seats, climate control.....even the side air bags!! STEEL bumpers (front is winch ready). Dual Tops...premium soft top has tinted windows and is still new in box - never installed!! I custom ordered this Jeep last year. Over the last few years, Jeep has changed the name of this package. In 2013, it was called the 10th Anniversary. In 2014, they changed it to Rubicon X. And again in 2015 to Hard Rock. It has all the features of the Rubicon - lockers, sway bar disconnect, 4:1 transfer case - and adds steel bumpers, bigger rock rails, "power dome hood" and unique lettering and trim. It is equipped with the premium MOPAR 3" kit......which is basically a Teraflex pre-runner kit with MOPAR spec control arms. This is pretty much the best kit on the market for an every day driver. Don't let the lack of so called "flex" arms fool you. This kit uses OEM style RUBBER bushings which are far superior to a spherical rod (heim style) joint. The rubber bushings have no moving parts - therefore mud and grit can't get inside them to wear the joint out. Any joint that uses a poly bushing must SLIDE one part against against another every time the joint moves. This causes wear. Which causes slack. Which means after several thousand miles.....you will feel a clunk every time the suspension moves. Multiply this times 16 joints and you will be very busy keeping your "flex" arms rebuilt. This is why ALL commercial and industrial equipment such as off road trucks and tractors use rubber bushings in the suspension. On anything less than a 4" kit, the arms are NOT the limiting factor. The suspension is limited by shock travel, and this kit will travel the full length of the shock. Stock arms with only lift springs cause the rear axle to move slightly forward and rotate downward. This causes the tire to be un-centered in the wheel well and messes up the pinion angle. The Mopar arms are slightly longer than stock and were engineered by Jeep to have the correct geometry. This suspension is designed for DURABILITY. You can jump it and it does not care. It has limit straps that prevent the shocks from ripping off the frame if you go airborne. And secondary "Speed Bumps" that prevent the suspension from bottoming out and bending the axle tube when you land. These are the 2 biggest weaknesses in the JK suspension. Just google "JK broken upper shock mount" or "JK bent front axle". For comparison, I have a Raptor too ....and this little Jeep actually gives it a run for it's money. Teraflex has some really great videos that shows what this package is capable of. And it still has plenty of flex to rock crawl. I bought this Jeep to ride the un-improved back roads in the mountains of West Virginia for work. I needed the lift for extra ground clearance and smoothing out the terrible pot holes. Honestly, most lift kits compromise ride, handling and durability. I needed something to make it better. And because I spent all day - every day in it......it needed to be durable. Which is why I went the extra mile this kit. I never put oversize tires on it because it actually stayed "on road". I used it for work and not play - but there is room for 35's. It's seen a lot of muddy gravel roads, but never any deep water. The engine compartment is nearly spotless. However, the underside is well worn from driving through the ruts made by full size trucks. There is no rock rash....however the paint IS worn off all the skid plates from dragging them everywhere------hence the need for the lift kit. Ground clearance on a stock JK is TERRIBLE. They sit lower to the ground than a TJ. The fuel tank is literally like 3 inches off the ground. I'm just being honest here so that they won't be any surprises when you look under it. Overall the Jeep is in excellent condition. Never abused......again, I used this for work so keeping it reliable was my #1 priority. The carpet is clean. It has never been smoked in. It has never had anything spilled in it. There are no rips or tears in the seat. The door sills have some scuffs on them, but you won't find one that doesn't - its unavoidable. The windows are tinted 20%. No modifications other than the Mopar lift. Everything works. There is some minor scuffing on the plastic around the bumpers and fenders....and a couple of rock chips. However, no known dents or dings in the body. I apologize for not getting any decent pictures of flexing on the rocks.....we got caught by the Park Ranger. This is the best thing I could find in Mississippi....and it's still not fully maxed out. There is actually some compression travel left. Teraflex specs their springs assuming you're gonna add bumpers, winches, tire carriers, body armor, coolers, gas cans.....basically lots of heavy things. As it sits now, the height is closer to 4 inches. The springs are actually designed for more weight. You have to really twist on it to flex it all the way. Fully loaded, it would sit right at 3 inches and actually flex better. The wheels that are on it are from a regular Rubicon. I swapped them because they were too hard to keep clean. Mud would stick to the inside and make them out of balance on the highway. I still have the original wheels. Upon sale, I am going to reinstall them because they still have the TPMS in them. I don't want you to sue me for selling you a vehicle without all the proper safety equipment. The tires are at about 40%. Well worn, but no real damage. The oil has been changed recently and it's road ready. You can pick it up and drive it anywhere you need to go. These things are really hard to find.....especially in this condition, unmodified - except for the MOPAR lift. If you want a bulletproof daily driver that can still hold it's own off-road......you won't find a better one anywhere else. I really hate to sell it. But things change. I'm back in Mississippi and no longer require it for work....and can't justify keeping it as a 'toy'. The Jeep is located in Hattiesburg, MS. If you have any questions or would like to see the Jeep, you can contact me anytime by TEXT at 601-577-4118 (please, no calls). If these links don't work, copy and paste for videos. Fox Shocks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TowiEa6CvU Before and After https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10k67oNun0Y They show a really good before and after. This Mopar kit is pretty much identical to the Teraflex kit featured. Same springs, same shocks, same ride, same performance.......only difference are the arms and the MOPAR stickers. The Teraflex branded kit is a long arm conversion which is great for a pure off road rig. But the OEM style arms and rubber bushings on the MOPAR kit are much better for a daily driver. Same wheel travel and maintenance fee. Not to mention you have to cut and weld your frame with the long arm and can never go back to stock. Thanks for looking!! Daniel
