Tons of pictures added below. Scroll down :)

$500 finders fee will be paid to any forum member who brings me a buyer at full price. Buyer must mention you by forum name prior to the transaction taking place. if a forum member buys it, take $500 off the price. Other than that I am pretty firm at $18k.

Any questions, please ask.

You want more specific pics let me know. I can facetime with you as well if you want video. This is a super nice Jeep, and I will point out all the small imperfections. Hard to find better (including the mods) for the money.

Glad to answer any questions.

Replaced dinged up front diff cover with thicker steel OEM style cover from a Ram 1500, coat of black paint on the new cover and fresh gear oil in the diff. Ordered new dust boots for the tie rods too. Oil changed with Valvoline 10-30. She's solid, nothing left to fix in my mind. Someone needs this Jeep. $500 on the line if you find me that special someone.

Did you list it for sale on any other site but here?

You could list it on BaT and it would almost certainly sell for 18k.

The issue is that BaT is very, very slow and based off my past experience with them it will take them at least a month or more to get it listed up on their site.

FB Market place. I have received like 10 "What's the least you would take?" messages. I am not giving this one away, its too good.

BAT is an idea, might look at that. I don't really "need" to sell it financially. I just want my garage space back.

I wouldn’t waste the $100 on BAT, and the time it will take to get it on the site. Why not autotrader and cargurus?

I don't feel like they get the traffic on older enthusiast vehicles. Honestly thought here it would get the most interest, and looking at the views here vs. FB here is double.

I don't think my price is out of line, But realize it is a lot of money for a 15 year old Jeep. Consider I just paid $25k for one.

Autotrader and cargurus work. People that are looking like I am look there also.

The nice thing about car guru and auto trader is that buyers can set up recurring searches, so that is something new pops up, they get an alert. There are people looking, we see them posted everyday. Might try craigslist too...
