  • TJ: Where do I find a totaled Rubicon?

    The transmission in my Jeep is toast! I've weighed all the options and the decision has been made.... My Jeep is going to get parked and I'm going to buy a commuter car to drive back and forth to work.

    I'm looking for a 42RLE to replace the dead one that is in my Jeep. At the same time, I'd like to replace the transfer case with a 241 out of a Rubicon. And while I'm at it, I'm thinking that front and rear D44's with the standard air lockers and the 4.10s out of a Rubicon would be nice to do as well.

    So I'm thinking that what I really need is to find is a roll-over Rubicon that has been totaled, but that has the power train and axels intact. I know that there are people on here that have taken totaled Jeeps and rebuilt them. My question is "Where did you get it?" I've checked Craig's list and called a few Jeep junk yards, but no luck so far. I'm looking for some creative ideas as to where else to check.

    Thanks!

      Finding any wrangler at a junk yard is hard.

      I still have yet to see one.Except Scotty's in Fontana, but prices are like new ones.

            This weekend is Jeep Jamboree at the Rubicon. Go to the bottom of Big Sluice and just wait a bit. I'm sure one will come rolling down eventually :-)
