We are our areas exclusive Rocky Ridge dealer. This one just came in today. This is one of a kind!! We added the Factory Rubicon Hood. Any one looking for an Awesome Jeep, and a Great Value let me know!20160720_103016.jpg 20160720_103028.jpg 20160720_103022.jpg
 
What kind of number is on it??? Looks Awesome!!
 
Also a jeep owner... Debating on suspension, can't decide lift kit or spacers

Take a Dremel to the hard rock hood... Open up those vents a bit to let the engine breath, otherwise the hood is more looks than function, that what I did to my hard rocks hood
 
i have had a few different Jeeps.
  • 1980 Jeep CJ-7 with 4 inch BDS suspension and 2 inch body lift on 33's
  • 1988 Jeep Wrangler YJ with with 4 inch Rancho suspension lift on 33's
  • 1994 Jeep Wrangler YJ stock
  • 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon on 4 inch rough country suspension lift with 35s.
I built the 1980 from basically a frame-up restoration and the 88 built a complete new drivetrain. I am in the market to get another Jeep eventually... with kids now, i probably will finally cave and get a 4-door model

going online for $54,600.00 it is pretty sweet looking!!!
Any one from the forum will get a nice discount!!!!
 
picked up a 2014 rubicon unlimited with 20,000 miles a few months ago, and have been enjoying it.

Wow...... $54.6K for a modified sport, how much does it have it mods?

My 16 JKU RHR was almost $10k less but yes is stock

I have also had a few jeeps over the years, past jeeps include

43 willy's, 77 CJ, 99, 08 and my present 16 JKU RHR

Regret selling the willy's :(
 
I have owned several Jeeps over the years, they are worst money pits than boats Lol.
 
All of the MODS are direct from Rocky Ridge, so they are all covered under the factory warrnty, the list is long. Complete Rocky Ridge suspension lift, springs, shocks, all necessary sterring componets Front and rear bumpers, winch, LEDS, power step bars, super duty spare mount, Tires, wheels, RHR hood. It is expensive but it is ready to go

Im sorry but that is an outrageous price for a sport model with after market bolt on parts .
I'm not trying to bash you but I come here to obtain knowledge about jet boats , due to my lack of .
I know a thing or 2 about jeeps and would like to share my knowledge so someone here won't make a big mistake buying a jeep like that , a dealers so called " special edition " .
As mentioned above a hard rock rubicon is less money then that after market rocky ridge jeep and much more capable (even stock ). That kind of money for a wrangler sport it better include
6" long arm suspension kit /w bilstein or fox shocks with reservoirs
37 " tires
differential air lockers with air compressor
Axel Gear sets for 37's
Navigation (not a sport option)
Leather seats ( not a sport option)
At least stock D 44 front and rear axles (which a sport doesn't )
Premium sound system ( also not in a sport )
front , rear steel bumpers and tire carrier
Winch
Now you take a stock 2016 wrangler sport s at 31,000 then add all the true off-road goodies I mentioned above except leather for around 12,000 your way under that rocky ridge jeep and have a true off-road jeep ! Hell you could even throw in a RIPP supercharger for another 5 grand , have an insane jeep and still come in under that jeep !
Now I know the numbers I gave are not including labor for someone to install the parts I mentioned, but being a jeeper I'd rather wrench on my jeep myself ! I'm willing to bet that Rockey Ridge doesn't have any of the goodies I listed Other than the steel bumpers and winch.
Now if that jeep has all that I mentioned (minus the RIPP ) and with a hemi conversion in its place ... THEN ILL BUY IT !!! :winkingthumbsup"
 
@BMF JK , For the most part you are correct, Although the 24S with power windows, locks, automatic trans, and freedom top is a lot closer to $35,000 add in all that the Rocky Ridge conversion includes plus the RHR hood "paint and install" plus a "certified" shops labor to bolt on all of the parts, For someone who is not as you say "a jeeper" who may not have the desire or know how to spend many hours installing the parts and who wants a turn key very capable Wrangler The value is there. Is the price high? Probably, But I have never heard anyone say What!!! You are priced way too low, I want to pay you more.

I had a nicely upgraded Rubicon when we lived in Arizona, got to hit an endless variety of trails anytime and was in a couple of clubs too with some great Jeepers. Got in a couple of trips to Moab, too. Sold it when we moved to MN since there are few trails here in the Twin Cities and rock crawling is hours away. Now we have a Grand Cherokee, so still a Jeep family but not at all the same. However, my 15 year old son just may end up with a Wrangler that we can wrench on, then it can be my future trail machine once he is off to college. Dad has a plan!

A couple of pics of my Rubi:
