Hello,
New member here from Australia.
Been a zook owner for about 20 years, but a growing family has led me to needing something slightly bigger with a bit more power.
Have been looking for a TJ for around 6 months. Was wanting a silver or green TJ and wanting it to be as stock as possible with lowers ks (naturally).
Average prices here are $8000-$13000.
All the ones I was interested in were never close and by the time I organised to go see them I missed out.
This one was listed for $8600 with 130,000km (81,000miles), but I wrote it off because it was red. Really didn't want red. Over the months the price slowly dropped to $6500 but still didn't attract me.
4 days ago it popped up on a different sales platform for $5000 and with it being relatively close to home (4 hour round trip), I organised to go have a look at it.
Car has been sitting for several months, but was still registered. A few signs of rat poo under the bonnet, and the interior covered in dog hair I was semi convinced I was going to walk away.
I decided to take it for a drive.
Started it up and it purred. Oil levels and coolant levels were good, no service history, but it was somewhat looked after.
It drove well, smooth, pulled hard, and didn't vibrate or at 100kmph.
What the hell, it's only a colour after all.
I knew the price was good, being about half of what else was on the market.
So what's the plans?
Minimum mods to get me as far as I need to go.
As little lift as possible, 33's, diff gears, flat fenders, twin locked, sway bar disconnect, and a bloody good tidy up. I also want to put the other TJ stock front bar on it and the factory spotlights.
