Just an FYI the '05-'06 have a small issue. its fairly easy to detect and even Doorman (autozone brand) upgraded all their replacement parts to fix it: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/2005-06-jeep-opda_cps_distributor-failure-1144202/">http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/2005- ... e-1144202/</a><!-- m -->
That being said... the 05-06 TJ/LJ are the most saught after jeeps right now. This jeep has the Benz 6 speed in it (very reliable) mated to the very reliable 4.0L. Since its a Rubicon it has the 4:1 transfer case, air lockers, and wouldnt need a SYE if you were to lift it.
I've seen jeeps of this year with a $300 Rough Country (2.5 inch lift), 1 inche body lift ($100), Skid Row engine skid ($300), wheels and 33 inch tires ($1k) take on the best the east coast has to offer for 4 wheeling.
edit: it has MOAB wheels on it now, so you wont need to go to the heavy black steel wheels, these have good offset for 31-33 inch tires.
