Consumer Review Video - 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4.0L 6 Cyl.
Common problems and easy repairs on a 2006 Wrangler
The 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon is a somewhat easy vehicle to maintain. Both the engine and interior fuse boxes can be accessed without the use of any tools, allowing you to troubleshoot electrical issues with reliability. Monitoring the brake fluid isn’t a problem, given the very open access to the reservoir in the engine bay. The engine air filter is also easy to change, as no tools are needed to disengage the housing to access the filter.
However, the 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon has its downsides. Many covers and fasteners will need to be removed before the headlight can be changed, which won’t allow for reliable replacements. Similarly, multiple screws need to be removed to access the center brake light, which will make for more monitoring than similar, LED-lit models. Changing the battery may be a problem, as the bracket is tightly wedged deep into the engine bay.
