Description
Hey there, fellow travelers! I'm selling my 2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited for $12k because we're changing our travel setup, and it's time for this adventure rig to find a new home. If you're tired of searching for the perfect flat tow vehicle, your search is over. I've meticulously set this up to be the ultimate towed (or toad, dinghy, tow-behind, whatever you want to call it) - a vehicle you can literally buy today, hook up to your RV tomorrow, and hit the road. It's time for someone else to enjoy this beast. The Main Event: The RV Towing Setup (Why this Jeep is better) I built this thing for maximum convenience. The goal was a quick and painless hookup/disconnect, and that's exactly what you get. We could disconnect and be driving in about 60-90 seconds, and hooking up took maybe 2-3 minutes tops. Braking System: Roadmaster 8700 Invisibrake. This is a game-changer. This is a permanently installed system, so you don't have to mess with a clunky, portable brake box every time. It just there, and it works. Includes the required emergency breakaway system. Tow Setup: Blue Ox base plate with removable tabs. Clean look when you're not towing. Wiring: Fully wired with a 6-pin connector for taillights and a dedicated battery charge line to keep the Jeep's battery topped off on long hauls. No dealing with power disconnects. About The Jeep Itself This is a 2008 Sahara Unlimited with 220k miles—and miles mean nothing to these 3.8L Jeep engines. The Sahara was the top-of-the-line trim, and it's been an absolute beast for us. I haven't off-roaded it much, but I did take it up some scary trails hanging off the sides of mountains in Moab, and it performed beautifully. It's incredibly stable on the highway too; I've had it cruising at 85 mph with no death wobble or weird shakes. The Hard Top: This isn't your standard top. It's a Turn Offroad Safari Style Hard Top, Model HTJKSF-M4, that delivers a bold look with added overhead windows for an open feeling, even when it's buttoned up. It has a 6-point connection system ready for a serious overland roof rack. I also just resealed all the upper windows this week with Sikaflex 221 (amazing stuff, by the way), so you should be leak-free for years. Engine, Mechanical and Body: Had a major tune-up about 6,000 miles ago with top-of-the-line plugs, wires, and coil pack, plus a new air filter. There are no drips on my driveway from the engine or other mechanical parts. Fenders have been coated with tough bedliner paint this week Bondo, sanding and primer. It looks good. Interior & Tech: It's used, but in great shape for its age. The stereo has upgraded speakers and the original subwoofer. It gets loud. Perfect for driving with the windows down here in Coconut Creek. Upgraded touchscreen head unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Backup Camera. This is literally a lifesaver, ask me how I know. It's saved people from injuries. Storage: The space in these 4-doors is massive with the seats folded. We used to haul 2 electric bikes, 2 kids' bikes, and a bunch of other gear back there with ease. Extra Top Included: You'll also get a Bestop Trektop® Slantback Soft Top. The windows are cloudy, but I wanted my kids to have that true open-air Jeep experience when we took the hard top off. Let's Talk Value (The "Why You Should Buy Mine" Section) Building a toad from scratch is a massive, expensive headache. This one is done. Towing Setup (Invisibrake, Baseplate, Wiring & Labor): ~$2,850+ Turn Offroad Safari Hard Top (HTJKSF-M4): $3,749 Touchscreen Stereo, Upgrades & Backup Camera: ~$400+ Total Value of Add-Ons: Over $7,000 You get all that work and investment for free, baked right into a ready-to-go rig. Full Transparency (The Quirks, what’s not perfect) Every older vehicle has them. Here are this Jeep's: Check Engine Light: It's on for two O2 sensors. I have two brand new sensors in the box that will come with the sale. ABS Light: This is on. My scanner says it needs a new ABS sensor on the right front axle. (~$50 for the whole axel) I replaced the driver side already. Passenger Door Lock: The automatic lock is finicky. It locks perfectly fine manually from the inside. Wiper Switch: You have to give it a firm twist to make sure it clicks "off". Common issue, $100 part to fix if it bugs you. Heater: I replaced the heater core, but it needs to be flushed again to work. Here in Florida, I never needed it. Oil: Slowly burns about 1 quart every 2,000 miles, which is standard for engines at this mileage. It's slow enough that tearing down the engine to replace the worn rings wasn't worth it. Tires: They're fine now, but you'll probably want a new set in the next 5,000-8,000 miles. Interior: Scuffs and scratches on the door plastic consistent with being a Jeep. Driver Belt: I have an aftermarket driver seatbelt and I had to bypass the alarm by bridging it under the seat. You can put an OEM belt in if you like annoying alarms. VIN: 1J4GA59108L609050
