I'd of course like to see if the oil pump was replaced first, and to see how the frame is. If it does look good how much should I really pay for it? https://york.craigslist.org/cto/d/york-2005-jeep-wrangler-tj/7462442650.html
This is tempting

why the oil pump? Not worth near that...nothing special
First thing I'd do is crash the front end into something see if I could crush the bumper into that stupid grill. Then it might be worth something
What you have heard about is the OPDA (oil pump drive assembly) which only affected 05-06's. I would personally prefer it to be an original as that would mean the camshaft sensor is a Mopar. It really isn't that big of an issue. Most 05-06 owners swap the OPDA out of caution.
Rough country, barricade, and a harbor freight winch. Basically this Jeep was built with the absolute cheapest parts that the person could find. Be better off finding one that is stock for less money. Just my two cents.
It’s got 100k, built with cheap parts, and not a not much invested in his effort to post it for sale.
My biggest hang up is the fact of no underside/frame shots. Could be a total disaster or miracle under there.
Yep, Pennsylvania winters can be quite hard on frames and sheet metal.
If you want to spend 15k on a TJ I’ll sell you mine. 121k, auto, and no opda issues because it’s an 03. Also it’s a rubicon.
Looks like rust between the skid and frame in the last pic. I'm a NW PA guy, so I go over them with a fine tooth comb. For $16k, this Rubi looks pretty good. I haven't gone to see it in person yet

That thing looks like it was built to impress teenagers hanging out at McDonalds.
$16,000 for a 2004 with 160,000 miles?
I paid $9500 for my 03' with 120,000 miles.
It looks like a total hack job. I can’t imagine what the wiring looks like.
I’d maybe go 8K if it’s not rusted to shit and I was drunk

Minimal rust runs a premium up here. Plus the market is whacked!! I'd walk in with 13 cash & see what they said. Nice flame red by the way!!$16,000 for a 2004 with 160,000 miles?

Thanks. I found mine in Washington D.C. Retired military guy from Texas had moved here two years earlier. His wife wanted a BMW and told him to sell the Jeep. Unlike me, he listened to his wife.
Get this rust free LJ with a Savvy mid arm. He'll take $21,000.
