    I should get the mechanic's report sometime late this afternoon. I can't imagine it will be a bad one. It has a perfect Carfax and CA DMV report. Hope somebody doesn't buy it.

    With the backseat out, I was going to cover the footwells with plywood. then use his old dog bed (35x40) as his spot behind the front seats.

    Palm Springs has a lot of retirees. My guess is, it was a toy to drive to the store and the Indian Casinos from time to time. If it had bounced around out in the desert the under carriage would be scuffed up, it looks new. They want top dollar for it (just under KBB value) but if it's as nice as...

    New to Wranglers, not new to Jeeps. I've owned 4 Cherokees including a '77 V8 with a stick shift, manual hubs and a bench front seat, other than the world's worst constructed body, it was great as long as you never topped 70mph. We have a new Grand Cherokee Overland, V8 4x4 we tow a small...
