@ALScott wants an LJ, finds a guy that has several for sale , and here's the deal- we texted and I drove out to see the LJ he had a deal going on today.
Most everything on the lot has higher mileage, is built fairly extreme, gearing unknown , mixed mods, painted frames, wheeled hard, beat on, the usual stuff....except one.....it sits alone, tube bumpers,wide flares, no lift, stock as can be, 93,000 miles, street tires that would fit a vw bug.... unmolested.
Wisely, he walks past the others, pays a little, and gets this one.
He can drive it like it is, mod it like he wants, and take care of some small things, then make it what he wants, when he wants.
The others- those turn into parts hunting, trying to fix death wobble, what's that noise and does anybody know who made this lift threads.
There's a lesson in what this guy did. The girl next door is usually the safe move than the one with all the aftermarket parts.
He will not have a nightmare experience like we've seen a few times, but rather a quiet journey to where he wants it to be, and an LJ that needs a little attention will turn into a head turner in a few months...he's already thinking ahead and ordering the right parts.
This was cool to see. Someone doing their homework and using their head.
