Oh man, as luck would have it we were thinking about heading to Gulf Shores on vacation next month. We ended up deciding on Myrtle Beach though...

Thats about an hour and a half from me. That's a good looking rig and a good price, shouldn't be hard to move

As soon as I get some good weather, I will clean it up and get some shots. Anything specific you would like to see?

Thanks. I hate to lose, it. But I hope it sells quick so as to not drag out the pain.

Here is a link to my photo-bucket account. *The most recent pics are first. It was dark when I took the interior pics and the flash has made everything lighter. *I was actively cleaning, so some of the dark spots (on the rear seat for instance) is just wetness.

2003 Rubicon pictures by subtlez28 - Photobucket (http://s55.photobucket.com/albums/g156/subtlez28/2003%20Rubicon/#!cpZZ1QQtppZZ20)

I picked up this Jeep a year ago. *I chose this particular one because it was a black on black Rubicon with a 5 speed manual, and most importantly it came from Arkansas (so it didn't have the rust midwest Jeeps tend to). *It already had the rear bumper, steering box skid, Banks cat-back stainless steel exhaust and Sony CD player w I-pod attachment cord. *I replaced the entire suspension, all 4 brake calipers, rotors, and pads. *I had the front axle rebuilt with new U-joints, pinion and axle seals. *I had the shop change both differentials, trans and transfer case fluids to synthetic (and I changed to Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil). *I purchased the correct 2003 Hard-top with tinted windows, defrost and wiper (they go for $800-1000). *I also picked up a nearly new "Sun-rider" soft top with tinted windows (~$500).

On top of all that I added the following aftermarket parts.

I have many of the stock parts including the front flares, transfer case skid, drive-shaft, sway bars,*

So, as you can see I have *over $22k invested in this Jeep. *It is in great mechanical condition. *The interior is very nice. *Paint shines and looks good. *It has the spider web type cracks on the hood (typical of these Jeeps) and some scratches from going through the woods when you look closely. *I think a lot of the scratches will buff out, I will find out as soon as I have time.

Thanks for the pics. There wasn't anything in particular that I wanted to see, just the overall truck.
