The seller dropped off the TJ today and it looks like a project. Of course all the things I didn't see on the initial visit and test drive, I noticed today....LOL
The former owner also warned me a bout "a little bit of wobble of the steering wheel at 50 mph that seems to stop at 55 mph", which sounds to me like death wobble and the need for either new steering / suspension components or new bushings, etc. If anyone has a list of what those parts are I sure would appreciate it.
In the meantime a small buy annoying issue is that I can't get the center console open with and without the key. They key can turn the lock, but even when depressing the button, the lid won't open. Any secret to getting it opened, the lock cylinder even is able to be lifted out, but I can't see the catch to spring it open. This is the very first issue and I hope they are all this small....Ha ha
Thanks
Bob
Ps. My wife took one look at it in the driveway, rolled her eyes and said "get a drip pan under that piece of excrement". (only she did not say excrement, she used a different and more common word). Suffice to say the drip pan is in place.
Clean up starts tomorrow.
