The best of both worlds. A Turn Key Rubicon Ready Crawler that's also a comfortable daily driver. Why spend $25,000.00 (like I did) and two years of meticulous building and customizing, when you can buy this rig for .70 cents on the dollar.
The project started 2 years ago with a stock 1999 Jeep XJ Cherokee. All major modifications have been performed by Ben Varozza of Varozza 4x4 Outfitters in the Placerville area. Check out Ben's web site and see the kind of work he's putting out at http://www.varozza4x4.com . My intent was to produce a rock solid crawler rig that was also very streetable.

This is a very unique vehicle. You've got to see the rest of the photos I have to really appreciate just how clean and tight this vehicle is. This isn't a kid's beater rig.
All the major modifications and electrical work has been performed by professional shops, and all done in the last two years. Even though the rig is very capable, it hasn't had any punishing four wheeling.
I wanted a rig that could do the Rubicon and still drive straight and smooth at 65 mph on the freeway. The interior is clean with no rips or tears in the upholstery and Husky plastic floor liners front and back.
Even though I have a little over $25,000 invested in the vehicle, I'm selling the vehicle because I need the money to start a business and don't have anything else to sell.
I hope you like what you see and will give me a chance to send you the rest of the photos I have. Let me know if you have any questions or want to take it for a spin. It will be hard for you to find a cleaner or more versatile 4X4 than this one. Thanks for looking!
