This TJ's been sitting here for 2 years

[Dan The Video Man]

2 houses down from me on the corner. It's been in that same spot since we moved into this house 2 years ago, flat tire and all. I contemplate knocking on the door and asking what they'll take for it. Haha.

So, why haven't you?

 

[Dan The Video Man]

Well, the main reason is that I don't have a pile of cash to backup my inquiry. Haha

Minor problems

Minor problems

Minor problems indeed. If all goes well with my VA claim, I will be getting a pile of cash this year through back pay. Then, I'll have the confidence (and cash) to inquire.

Check it for floorboard rust!

Better hurry, you're not the only one eyeing it

It’s not Trail Rated!

No but it's the "Anger" edition

Of course! In a perfect world, I'd use it as a parts Jeep because I know for a fact that my wife would love that.

 

[Dan The Video Man]

Took a quick walk around the corner, appears to have a warn on the front.

Was tough to see cause it's far back, but looks like it has a 35 in the rear.

My guess is it has frame rust issues, and they "plan on fixing it". There is an early TJ Sport sitting in the weeds next to a driveway in a town next to me and it hasn't moved for probably 10 years.

At least you can tell by the hood bumpers it is a pre-2002.

I’d say that’s a safe assumption.

Buy it for the right price. Part out the rest and double your money. Save a couple of spare parts.

This sat for 6 years in my neighbours yard but did not look this good. After asking over the years to buy it she just gave it to me. Lots of work and a few parts later this 2002 TJ is looking good. 4.0 engine 5 speed and all original. It’s going to stay that way.

Never heard of this before. I did a quick GIS for later year images and I didn't notice any obvious hood bumper differences across years?

My 99 has short hood bumpers and my wifes 02 has taller ones, about a 1/2 inch difference in them.

I was being a smartass. I can tell by the gas tank skid, flares, and side mouldings it is a pre 02 Sahara.

I knew it was a Sahara but wasn't sure around what year, thank you sir.
