Built for a short three year span, the 2004-2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited better known as the LJ, has quickly become a modern classic as Jeep’s first “Unlimited” model offered. LJ, short for “Long Jeep”, hinted at the Wrangler Unlimited’s 10” extended wheelbase over the normal Wrangler TJ platform available at the same time. Sporting the reliable 4.0L inline-six, the LJ offered almost double the cargo space as the shorter wheelbase TJ.
Nearly 46,000 Unlimited model Wranglers were made for the short three year span, with only 13,000 of those being Rubicon models—causing prices to quickly rise as the model is quickly becoming highly sought after by off-road enthusiasts alike. Many say the LJ is the next modern classic due to its heritage, off-road performance, and the increasing challenge to find clean examples.
