Colorado WTT: My white Rubicon hood for your white non-Rubcon hood plus cash

[Imbuere]

I prefer the simpler hood and would like to trade someone. Mine is a factory 2020 Brilliant White Rubicon hood that is in near perfect condition.

The hood I’m looking to swap with must be:

• in Denver or willing to meet in Denver. Sorry if your in the east coast, but I’m not going to drive to IL just to swap.
• be a factory aluminium white hood. No aftermarket steel hoods or those that are not factory paint.
• have the factory hood mat, or be willing to buy a new one
• add $600 to the swap… so, your hood +$600 for my Rubicon hood.
• be willing to lend a hand taking off each hood and replacing.
• be willing to take off the plastic cowl and remove the bolts for the hinge to the body. It’s important to me not to separate the hinge from the hood so there’s no paint problems down the line.

If this sounds good to you, let me know and we’ll workout a good time.

I swapped my Sarge Green Mojave hood for a Sarge Green Sport Wrangler hood. Swap was easy. I, too, prefer the classic hood and am very glad I made the trade.

$600 is steep, a new hood is that, yes you have to paint still but white for white swap?!?! your happy and they are happy, couple hundred bucks seems fair

It’s really not. The hoods you can find for $600 are not even the US spec aluminium version. Look at the shape, they’re completely different. Also, the price you see is not included shipping. You’d be shocked what they charge… tack on several hundred here. I called several of these places for quotes when I was doing my own research.

Then you have to buy all the other stuff in the hood and paint. To get the real rubicon hood you’ll be in it near a grand, I’ve done the research and math.

Hood is like $600 from sponsered vender.. paint is $300ish.. you buy a sport hood and have it paint is going to cost you about the same.. js you could be a little more flexible

So yeah, add a few more for the vents and drains and your over 1k. Like I said.

Price is driven by demand and there’s no doubt there’s a higher demand for the Rubi hood.
