Have been wanting a Jeep for many years, an LJ since the first time a saw one. It finally came together this summer. A one owner, 135k mile, 06 LJ automatic with AC. The PO said it had never been off road or in mud. When I looked underneath it looked lIke he was correct. Only modification was an Alpine stereo. It came with the OEM soft top but has never been put up. I installed new shocks, front track bar, steering stabilizer, OEM heater core, Smittybilt rear bumper, brush guard and Warn M8000 winch. I did all the work so the cost wasn’t so bad. I am surprised how well it drives! It will pretty much stay as it is. Just something to cruise the back country in when the weather is to rough for the motorcycles.

Wow, clean underneath is an understatement....looks like a nice find. Congrats!
 
Welcome aboard!
I thought Nega is a slang for some place in the Sahara Regions of West Africa because I thought there is no clean underbelly TJs still living here in the USA like yours.
She's pretty clean for sure, does she have a sister?
 
One owner, zero rust, hard and soft tops, and stock....what a score! (y)

I saw it in marketplace. It looked too nice and the price was pretty good, thought it was a scam. I messaged but he said someone else had first dibs on it, asked to let me know if it fell through. 5 days later he contacted me. Apparently the first person couldn’t get the money, just worked out for me as I had the cash saved up. I think it had 6 miles on it when he bought it.

Sorry, nothing exotic, just plain old Georgia. 😁
No sister, I would have brought her home too. haha
