The unfortunate TJ of the day thread

Probably cost a lot too

Other than the Autorella paint job, not bad! (Autorella was a small chain of el-cheapo paint shops in my part of California years back. They were notorious for doing zero prep, little to no masking, and painting over everything such as door locks, trim, and handles as seen here.)

They put the 4.0L decals in the wrong place too. :unsure:

One would hope if the owner went through the cost of installing ARBs front and rear they would be smart enough to re-gear it at the same time.....

IMO it's not worth $20k but not a bad looking Jeep... It definitely looks clean and well taken care of...

I just messaged him. I'm curious to see if he just forgot some details.

Answer from owner.
It’s been regeared to 4.88. That was verified by ORI in Winchester, VA if you want to ask. Dana axles front and rear. It’s a 2.4L built for crawling out in AZ so, beefier axles weren’t really needed beyond some welded reinforced bracing, which you can see in the pics. It’s a great build that would benefit from a small block engine swap given it’s no longer used for crawling here in this area.

p.s. Who knew, beefier axles weren't really needed for AZ crawling? :unsure:
