May I asked what the purchase price was? After seeing your Jeep, I now have some buyers remorse for my purchase. I too was looking for White for a long time.

It’s all real clean...no rust issuesThe axles have been replaced with a Ford 8.8 and high pinion 30, they came from another vehicle and do have a little surface rust on them but all the gears inside have been replaced with new...aside from that everything else is clean.
Good deal! Looks like you got a solid buy, and some nice parts on it as well! Swap the shocks and control arms out eventually, and you'll have a nice setup!
Oh man, don’t do that to yourself. Try to just enjoy it and have fun with it. I looked at and drove others so I knew when I saw this one that it was in a different league from all the others I looked at. The others were in the 6500-8400 range but most needed front end/steering work, leaks, etc. This one had all the front/end steering replaced and drove far better than all the others. He started out asking 10,650 then dropped his ad to 9,650 and we negotiated and I paid 9000 even. White looks excellent and I almost passed this one up for a white one that was about the same price but without all the upgrades that this one has. White Jeeps are bad ass, if you found a white one just enjoy it and have fun with it! Don’t have buyers remorse, it will steel all the joy away....just fix it up and have fun with it. Think of it like having another kid....everyone’s kids are different but if you focus on what someone else’s kid can do you’ll miss the blessing of your own kid.....that’s how modified cars and Jeeps are

OK, maybe buyers remorse was a little strong in the wording department. I appreciate that I got a very good deal on exactly what I was looking for. But I must say I’ve got some Jeep envy looking at the images of yours. Hopefully with time (and money) I’ll get mine to look like that. Enjoy your new Jeep.
I will say that my 13-year-old has already claimed this to be his first car which is an unexpected and pleasant surprise, as I expected he would want my other car as his first. We’re going to work on the Jeep together.
As a family, we are also regular campers.
Enjoy, the Jeep. Itis beautiful and in my opinion, you stole it!

Oh man, you guys are gonna love the Jeep! That roof rack is sick, one of my favorites!
That stock rear bumper also has to go though, imo.

Thanks...yeah, I was lucky to find it. It’s had been on FB marketplace for 45 days, I’m SO surprised it lasted that long...I can only imagine it’s because it was pretty far out and just no one wanted to go so far to look at it.
My son is also 13 and claiming this as his first car! My brother and I went to look at it and brought my son with us. We spent about 2-3 hrs inspecting it real close and over and over I had to keep telling him we don’t know yet, we may not get it. When we pulled onto the street and he saw it he was kind of freaking out about it. We are going to do some off-road parks that have camping, he can’t wait to strap the camping gear to the roof.
It’s going to make for some good family time! Sounds like you and I are in the same spot!
Nice Jeep. I, too, recently acquired a 2005 Jeep (LJ). Has 26,000 miles. I already put on 33” and 4” lift, but am looking to add the toys that you possess (roof rack, bumpers, wench, etc). I’m going to track your posts. I want to see if you find a way to prevent the soft top from slapping the rack. Be well my friend.
A “wench” might be useful at times, but a “winch” would be more useful for a trail rig. Nice LJ! Great miles! Congrats
Awesome find with only 26k miles! Yeah I'll have to figure it out because it slaps the rack real hard when it gets to flapping.
