Looking for a decent TJ in the northeast is depressing. I lose a little more of my will to live every time I see one listed. “Not a lot of rust” = this Jeep will be sold for parts in a few years.
And, NO, you’re not fooling anyone installing diamond plate fender and body panels to cover the rust.
The worst part is that clean, well-maintained TJs do retain their value. The problem this creates is that everyone selling a high mileage TJ with some rust issues now has an unreasonable idea of what it should sell for, because they see the rare clean examples listed.
Oh, and see these guys? They’re STYLISH and ... THEY KNOWZ IT. This is everyone who has destroyed a sweet stock TJ with their nasty aftermarket mods. Yeah, you’re strutting around thinking you look cool, but in reality, it’s a little sickening!
I’m losing hope here. Looking at Jeeps is just depressing me.
