It looks clean from what I can see, but I'd have to see the underside.

One thing is for sure, I can't unsee those awful wheels

Those wheels remind me of stock FJ40's from the late 60's early 70's.

Those wheels do look good on FJs, but not on a Jeep. Icon Derelicts also like to use them for that vintage look.

They would look good on the right vehicle, I am just not sure that is the right vehicle. Oh well, easy fix!

It needs some 28s because they make everything look better.

underside pics, @Chris @Starrs
I wasn't given many but i have a few, I have been talking with the current owner.
Skool me, is this what they look like in TX, seems like a lot of corrosion for a south west vehicle to me. thoughts??
Also looks like right front fender / grill had been removed, or the bolts have been pulled at one time maybe?
Didnt all LJs have a unlimited sticker under the jeep sticker?

@snowpig32 I know for a fact my LJ has never been out of Texas and made two trips to the coast, I was there for one in my old YJ with original LJ owner. I'll snap some underside photos and shoot the over to you to compare. I am pondering the thought of selling my LJ.

 

[snowpig32]

Thanks texvet that would be helpful.

Would be better if they'd given you photos of the frame itself. These pictures are all but worthless. However, from the little I can see here, the frame shouldn't be too bad. Still, I want to see photos to be sure.

 

[texvet]

Sorry, got distracted this weekend with a sick kid and completely spaced taking the photos. I'll do it tonight as soon as I get home.

 

[snowpig32]

texvet, would be educational to see some pics of your jeep if you ever find the time.

 

[texvet]

holy crap, I suck. Walking out to garage right now...

 

[texvet]

let me know if you need more. Frame, underbody, drive shaft, body mounts in these.

 

[snowpig32]

your not watching football KC is making a game of it now.

 

[snowpig32]

Yeah, wow, yours is clean, clean, clean.. want to sell ;-). Thanks.
Wonder why this one doesn't look like yours if its always been in TX.

 

[texvet]

No idea, mine has always been well cared for and garage stored since new. But you really don't see any rust down here unless it's a coastal vehicle, or a flood vehicle. Funny you ask I'm actually considering selling the LJ and moving to a JK Rubicon. Love the LJ, want something a little more comfortable for longer drives (500 - 2K round trips) which is why I'm considering the JK. Or a new truck and trailer for the LJ for Big Bend, CO, and some OK runs.
