    I think I need an LJ

    Good tips, Thanks. I should have bought an LJ back in 2019 when I got my TJ, but I don't know what I didn't know. He replied so I don;t think it is a scam. It has stock axles and gearing, so I have to take that into account, but I may go look at it just to see.

    I think I need an LJ

    $15k seems about what I see for LJs around me going for right now. There are even a couple Rubicon models listed but they want $22k. You think that is too high? Also, I saw 150k on the clock and thought that was low. My TJ is weeeellll over that!:D I am still searching, but this one caught...

    I think I need an LJ

    True, Just a concern. If I damaged the corners, armor would be a cheap way to cover it up. I'm in Oregon so if it has been local and not at the beach it should be pretty rust free, but I fear the armor could be covering up something j guess.

    I think I need an LJ

    Possible. He is local to me per the post so if it is for it will be obvious when I try to schedule a time to look at it.

    I think I need an LJ

    Ya, I have messaged about the axles/gearing. Looks like a Dana 30 under the front. I'm not worried about a regear as my TJ nees one and the LJ would just stand in for that. I am really concerned about damage under the armor and fixing the suspension.

    I think I need an LJ

    I think I need to upgrade to an LJ and I found one near me, but it has some upgrades that concern me. 1st it has paint matched armor including the rear quarters. Is there any way without removing the armor to know what in under it? Would you ask to remove the armor if you were buying it? 2nd...

    Japanese Minitrucks Kei Cars

    There is a firetruck one around me that I always thought was cool. I kind of want one, but being 6'7" I think I would kind of look too much like a circus freak driving around in it. Especially if I had the fire truck version.

    What did you do to your TJ today?

    Time to hang an engine block from a tree in the front yard and see how long before you get a nasty letter!

    Oregon Re-gear shop/mechanic in the Portland area

    Thanks Chris, I actually saw your review from 2015 and tried to call him, but there is just an automated message saying the line is busy every time I call now. I have a feeling he may have retired. I will try again next week to see if maybe he is just on vacation or something, but...
