I'm thinking about selling my LJ, the places I want to go wheel are all quite a distance from Austin (minimum 6 hours one way). Went and drove a Gladiator and really liked the ride. Right now if I want to go Kayaking I have to haul a trailer behind my jeep (yeah I could put a rack system on but then it wouldn't fit in the garage). If I want to bring some lumber back from the big box store have to haul the trailer. So I can either keep the LJ and ditch my LS460, or ditch the LJ and pick up a Gladiator.

Any thoughts on a what clean LJ with 80K on the clock should go for? Here is a quick summary of the work on it.

We just bought our LJ and have been shopping for the last few months, so i would say (in my area, at least) with only 80k miles and those mods you should be able to get around $12k-$15k'ish..
To get a better idea for your area you can see what similar Jeeps are going for online..

Anywhere from $14 to $20 in this area. As this is a specific TJ forum I thought it would be helpful to get values from across the country.
