    Saw another couple rigs today...

    Well, I can put it in a garage but here is my dilemma. I have a family of 4 and should really consider an unlimited JK because my kids are getting older. I'd like to carry bikes and skis. Plus in the long term, I do want to outfit like a overlander vehicle to go camping in. On the other hand...

    Saw another couple rigs today...

    This 2003 ruby has 131k miles and asking 13k. Seems the frame is ok but some stranger place has rust. Is the driver floor considered rusty or just scratched up? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    How do you keep your rig rust free?

    Yes, some areas are more surface but the control arms look pretty bad. It's even in the shocks.

    How do you keep your rig rust free?

    Would you buy this TJ?

    1999, 116k miles, Dana 35 with 3.73 gears. Asking 8k Frame looks pretty good. The tub has some rust. I think the carpet got wet but the owner wasn't aware. Is it easily fixable? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

    Thinking of buy this used TJ...

    ...But I see some rust on the frame. Most appears to be on surface but one joint seems more severe than others. It drives well otherwise and had Dana 44 and 3.73 gear ratio. Has 91k miles and asking for 8k. Is this a good buy? Thanks, Roger Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
