132K miles : ) previous owner is retiring and wants to cut his gas expenses nad doesnt see him anymore driving it much..not able to keep up with fun times so letting it go with both front and Rear Dana's 44 on it and 35s BFGoodrich and nice scorpion heavy duty bumpers..cages..lots of extras . So its potentially nice opportunity to grab a nice one..but after watching so many videos about rust and rebuilding engines..always sceptic I guess. I dont have a dog and I plan to nicely restore that interior with brand new liners .. new carpet ..refresh everything etc...and make it my way, but since first time Jeep buyer wanted to ask for some advise here from guys that know the best! and I really appreciate all the responds and comments!
grab it, will not last long
If that was listed up here in the NE for $7K, I would jump on that. Torque boxes look really good.
7k is a good deal, but I do second the idea to inspect the inside of the frame. It could be the owner cleaned out the rust chips, but didn't take care of deep erosion. There's a guy in my neighborhood, only works on Jeeps. He cuts open the frame, cleans, and welds weak points from the inside out, then seals up the frame when done. I'm on his list for early 2024.
Thanks for the reply! I actually got this guys idea on here and ordered one Endoscope camera from amazon they are pretty cheap and sticked that little camera thru the frame ( from front all the way to the back..) its crazy how solid and no single chip found, which I also felt flat and no chips when I dipped finger in few days ago, honestly I was expecting at least of a little rust...but found only few tiny spiderwebs with camera lol . I can tell this owner is pretty passionate, its prob just his time to let it go to someone new. Gears installed are super crazy Dana 44 both ends, Curry steering links, Spyder hood louver with poison spider front and rear bumpers , only in ger its like 12-15k lol thats what makes me wanna grab it and if no rust problem its a huge plus. I just have to work on interior to make it my clean and fresh way..will start uploading pics of progress here once I seal this! : )
As stated, buy it asap before someone else does. It won’t last at that price
I got it few days ago
Its a beauty! Took it to the mechanic to inspect it, put new fresh oil to start tracking it myself from day one and did inspection, zero rust frame, everything strong looking so far , small leak on rear main seal ( but which Jeep doesn't have it : ) but no drippin on the concrete at all, just a small one so may just watch on that or maybe replace it and go from there. Soon uploading some pics.
boy, you can ALMOST see the rust inside the frame on that 2nd picture !
LoL thats not my post man , I dont know that was some post guy was showing how bad it can be somewhere where he lives lol..not mine : ) These is mine I just reuploaded
yes, I knew it wasn't yours... glad you got a good one !
