It is with a heavy heart I make this post. After attempting all avenues (we could find) to expatriate Jolene to New Zealand it appears we just can’t make it happen.
Meet Jolene, our cherished 2016 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JK. From the moment she rolled into our lives, she’s been more than just a vehicle – she’s been a trusted friend, a source of boundless adventure, and a vessel for unforgettable memories. But as we reluctantly prepare to part ways, our hearts overflow with nostalgia for the countless journeys we’ve shared. Editing the video for this ad made me pretty sad 🥺

Jolene isn’t just a vehicle; she’s been our ticket to endless exploration and discovery. Equipped with the Rubicon package – 4:10 gears, D44’s, front and rear lockers, effortless sway bar disconnect and paired with 3″ of suspension lift from springs and fully adjustable lower control arms, she’s tackled everything from rocky mountain passes to sandy dunes with ease. Her tough Metalcloak fenders, rock rails, bumper, and exo-skin have weathered the toughest trails, emerging unscathed and ready for more. Did I mention she has a kinda-uncommon 2 tone khaki & black interior? Anyway, never once has she left us stranded on a trail and I’ve driven home as much as 10 hours after driving the conditions show in the video of this listing. You truly have no idea how remarkably capable a Jeep is till you’ve owned one. 4K YouTube video here:
But as we bid farewell to Jolene, we do so with a mixture of sadness and excitement. Sadness for the memories we leave behind, but excitement for the new adventures that await her next lucky owner. Wherever she goes, we know she’ll continue to inspire awe and ignite the spirit of adventure in all who have the privilege of calling her their own.
New owner will receive a manuscript thick folder of service records, manuals, receipts and notes. It accidentally got packed with our stuff, so I’ll be shipping it to you from New Zealand. Jeep will also come with a Warn off-road recovery kit (tow strap, shackles, tree saver, snatch block), front window sun shade, 4 -way lug wrench, 3-ton floor jack, extra wheel speed sensors, extra windshield header gasket, and handful of 10mm sockets. The key to the lugs is in the rear under the flap around the subwoofer.
Oh, also, there is a back seat, I just had it out when I took these photos.
The Jeep has been in no real ‘accidents’ other than me backing into my cousins KIA in her driveway a few years ago, which caused ZERO damage to the steel bumper but 10K to her KIA 😭
So, if you’re ready to embark on the journey of a lifetime, if you’re prepared to forge new paths and create unforgettable memories, then Jolene is waiting for you. Bid farewell to ordinary and say hello to extraordinary with Jolene, your beloved adventure companion.
