thanks man - this is my 5th TJ and pending anything insane / unforeseen hopefully my last. don't think i'm finding another 1 owner with 14K miles any time soon at this price.
No idea - but was worth the risk. Given the condition of the body and frame including the interior - was worth the $22,900 lottery ticket.
what color is that hard top? looks different colors in different lighting. Are you storing it downstate ny or upstate?
It's between khaki and gray - seen it on a handful of white TJ/LJs
Jeep is at my parent's place in Connecticut for now - will have parts installed and full run through done over next few weeks and essentially go into storage for the winter
throwing a wrench into everything...
the 04 TJR went into shop today for all new shocks, steering stabilizer and once through.
also picked up the attached 06 LJR from cross jeep today. my dream car. not sure what else to do but enjoy it.

Bailed on the LJR. I realized with the TJR with low miles and being cherry I don’t even want to drive it - want an LJR that needs some work I can build. With 18K miles on the silver one I almost bought would just sit in garage like the white one is doing now.
With that said, white 04 came out of shop yesterday. Removed the barricade winch that was on there, added the quadratec leveling kit, new 265/75 MTRs.
Few more photos for good measure. Not the best - and still haven't seen the TJR yet as it's at my parents but will see it soon and take better photos.
My thought is that if I had a TJ Rubicon that clean with such low miles, I would put 31" C rated Duratrac tires on it, a 1" H&R spring, half doors, and upgrade the stereo. That's literally all I would do. A clean, unmolested TJ looks absolutely fantastic in stock form with just a tiny lift and one tire size up.
Pretty much where I’m at. The 265/75/16 mtrs and the leveling kit went on yesterday with new shocks and steering stabilizer. Quadratec says it’s 1.75 inches in front and .75 inches in back.
Only thing left to do is the 6 inch antenna which will go on this week, remove the milk jugs and upgrade to aftermarket head unit and new speakers / sub and I’m done.
Now looking for LJR to actually build.
Yep, that's a good plan. I'd look for an Unlimited Rubicon with slightly higher miles and maybe not even in perfect condition (though no rust), that way you don't feel bad if you end up having to cut into something or whatever.
The nice, low mileage ones, those ones need to be left alone in my mind
