This 2022 Unlimited Rubicon is a turnkey, custom-built example in clean, low-use condition. It sits on Cars and Bids at $5,000 with six days to go.2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited RubiconCars & BidsWhat it's worth right nowThe Wrangler holds its value famously well, though a heavily modified example occupies its own market. According to Kelley Blue Book and current listings, a 2022 Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon carries a resale value close to $33,000 and generally trades from the low $30,000s into the low $40,000s, with a comprehensive, quality build like this one commanding a premium over stock for the right buyer.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value for a built example like this sits close to $32,000 to $44,000, most likely close to $36,000 to $40,000, with the extensive build and clean condition supporting the figure and the notes below tempering it. At $5,000 with six days remaining and a reserve, the bidding should climb into that range.2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited RubiconCars & BidsCondition and detailsThe truck is a comprehensive, turnkey build in exceptional condition. Finished in black with a Winter Blue Kevlar coating, it runs the 3.6-liter V6 through an eight-speed automatic and the Rubicon's Tru-Lok locking axles, and it was custom-built by Texas Vehicle Exchange with a Rubicon Express 2.5-inch lift, Falcon shocks, 37-inch tires on 20-inch wheels, Fab Four and DV8 bumpers, fender flares, an intake and exhaust, and much more. The seller reports it was garage-kept, never taken off-road, and religiously maintained.2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited RubiconCars & BidsA few points deserve attention. As a comprehensively modified truck, it should be valued on the finished product, and modifications rarely recoup their full cost. The 37-inch tires on the stock V6 and axle gearing can dull acceleration and drivability, so a buyer may want to budget for a regear, and the modifications may affect emissions in some states. There is a loan on the car that must be paid off before the title transfers, so coordinate the payoff securely, and the tires carry 2022 date codes, so check their condition despite the low use.2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited RubiconCars & BidsThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeJeepModelWrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4×4Year2022Mileage38,000 milesEngine3.6-liter V6Power285 hp and 260 lb.ft of torqueTransmission8-speed automaticDrive typeFour-wheel drive with two-speed transfer caseExterior colorBlack with Winter Blue Kevlar coatingInterior colorBlackCurrent bid$5,000, with six days leftInterested in this 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4×4? View the listing here.What makes the Wrangler Rubicon uniqueThe Jeep Wrangler is the definitive off-road vehicle, an icon whose lineage traces directly back to the original Willys Jeep of the 1940s, and the Rubicon is its most capable factory form. Named for the notoriously difficult Rubicon Trail, it adds front and rear locking differentials, a disconnecting front sway bar, a lower crawl ratio, and heavy-duty axles, giving it genuine rock-crawling ability straight from the showroom. The current JL generation brought meaningful improvements in technology, comfort, and refinement while preserving the removable-top, removable-door, open-air experience that makes the Wrangler so beloved.2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited RubiconCars & BidsAdvertisementAdvertisementThat combination of legendary capability, iconic style, and endless customizability is exactly why the Wrangler is such a popular platform for builds like this one. This truck takes an already-capable Rubicon and adds the lift, tires, and armor that many owners want, along with a distinctive Kevlar-coated look, creating a turnkey rig that delivers the aesthetic and the capability without the time and cost of assembling the build from scratch.2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited RubiconCars & BidsMy takeFor a buyer who wants a built Wrangler without doing the building, this is an appealing package. The modifications are comprehensive and come from a professional build, the truck presents in exceptional, low-use condition, and it delivers the aggressive look and added capability that so many Wrangler owners chase. The Rubicon base means the genuine off-road hardware is already there.Fair value sits close to $32,000 to $44,000, most likely close to $36,000 to $40,000, reflecting the quality build and condition against the reality that modifications rarely recoup their cost. Before bidding, arrange the loan payoff securely, understand that the 37-inch tires may warrant a regear, check the tire age, and confirm the modifications can be registered where the buyer lives. Handle that, and this is a capable, distinctive, turnkey built Wrangler.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
