Just ordered a endoscope on amazon for $30 to bore scope the frame so I can see the inside

I’m always take for a trip. You have a link? I’m fine buying a none rubi and doing an axle swap. Sounds more fun than chasing down rust issues.

I had a few first Gen Tacomas and all I did was chase the never ending rust issues. I really don’t want to do that again. Wire wheeling the frame once and painting it is easy enough. It’s just not something I want to do yearly. For additional context, it’s an LJR with 79k miles. 6 speed with...

Yes I know it was garage kept up until 2 winters ago.

Hi team! Looking at picking up a 2005 LJR that’s located in Kansas City. I swore to myself I wouldn’t by another Jeep was the north (or Midwest) after finding a hole in the frame of my old TJ, but these Jeeps are getting harder to find and it’s a pretty good deal. I’m 7 hours away from the...

How many miles?

How many miles?

Love all the encouragement folks. Alright, I’m gonna go check it out. It’s 22k and has 70k miles, but it’s got about 20k worth of work and is frankly one of the nicest looking LJs I’ve ever seen. I’ll check the inside of the frame, for sure. Maybe I’ll see if he will let me drop the belly pan...

Looking at buying an LJ with low mileage. I found one that’s 4 hours away and asked the owner to send me pictures of the frame. It seems to be a fair price, but when I pulled the carfax, the Jeep spent most of its life in New York. he assures me there is no rust. The angle of some of the...

Agreed. Thats a whole lot of ugly. Yeah, this thing needs and deserves full skids underneath it. As pointed out in another post, it almost looks like the frame has a slight arc upwards in the middle. The body mount is crooked. Something feels fishy to me.

Not hallucinating at all. I haven't noticed that but that sure does look bent upwards, which would explain the body mount being crooked.

I couldn't tell if that was just the bushing or not. But I see what you're saying.

I’m a bit concerned about the bent belly pan. Surface rust isn’t too bad and I know it’s just from scraping the frame on the rocks. I agree that typically the aftermarket parts don’t increase the value but thankfully with metal cloak and savvy parts, it helps things sell a little quicker and...

Asking price is 22k but I know the seller and will likely get it for around 18k.

Any more price evaluations after the additional pictures I’ve added?
