October, 2019
A female friend of my kid was Jeep shopping...I was on CL just browsing for her, ran across a super clean '98 that was the same color as my kid's '98 but w/ a 4.0 and no rust.
I was like "Alex, you should buy that, swap all your stuff over and sell your old one, you'll break even other than your time"
"Naw dad, I don't want to have to take everything off my TJ".
So for one odd reason or another, I kept getting drawn to this TJ...still for sale.
My kid and I made the hour and a half trek to check it out (you know, "just in case" I buy it, I need somebody to drive my truck home
). It was a bit high priced, but super clean and at 140k miles, I didn't feel bad about it for an NC Jeep.
We spent about an hour going through it, interior was near mint, less the dog hair and dust, frame super clean. PO didn't try to cover anything up and even told me about a rear tail that had dented the tub from backing into a tree (that we wouldn't have even noticed it was so minute).
I happened to show up w/ sixty 100 dollar bills. Told the PO that was the most I was willing to spend on it...
Let my kid drive it home, I drove my truck.
...So it begins.
2" BB only mod.
My plan is to keep it stock
