Picked up this LJR last night. Had to drive 12 hrs, but wound up being a killer deal IMO.
It does need some love, P.O. never drove it. It was built by a guy named Charley Crossley, or “Crazy Charely” that passed away a number of years ago. His friend took possession and it’s basically been in storage and driven less than 1000 miles the last 5 years.
Because of this, I got a great deal. It needs some front end work. I ordered new ball joints, axle u-joints and unit bearings this morning. I also sprung for the RockJock currectlync steering.
Anything else I need to look into in this department?
On the drive back, I got under the Jeep while getting gas and noticed oil splattering all around the rear end. I had planned on needing to replace things merely from it sitting. Am I looking at axle seals here?
I’m replacing all fluids over the next couple of days. What else do I need to look into as a result of it sitting?
Jeep has 38k miles. Interior is immaculate. Haven’t seen one this clean ever.
FWIW, it rode great doing 65 home. 70-75 was really pushing the RPM’s.
Here’s some other photos:
Appreciate the help guys!
