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...

Can you post some more pictures of it?

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

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.
