Any Jeep people on the board?

I understand that. He said he could put a grand in it, fix the few issues and resell for 5k but would just rather sell as is.

I plan on driving it and checking it out the best I can. Im just not sure what he could be hiding that would be such a major issue that I wouldnt be able to pick up on????

Im not a car expert....just lookin for a cheap weekend toy/project

I don't think anything crazy, but im not a jeep bro. Hell not a single thing can be hard or expensive to fix on that thing.

Just got a few more pictures. Gears are the same in front and back. It needs a good wash and wax. Looks overall decent. Little damage to bottom of drivers door. He said its a plastic running board. Back drivers panel looks like a little ding with rust. Thoughts? Still a deal at 3k?

Yea man that is a deal, you can convert it to fuel injection pretty easy and do most work yourself on that rig. The minor mods are nice, just remember its a Jeep, it is not if, but when is something to break. Going into knowing that lets you have more fun with it.

Ah the 90s Jeep fiberglass body kits.
If it were me, and since it's damaged I'd remove that asap and since it's probably going to mess up the paint just put rhino liner on it from the bottom of the panel up 6" or so.

Ill be sure to do that once I figure out how. lol This will be a learning experience.

Jeep guys on a Mustang forum....right.

Just Kevlar the whole thing, lift it 12", put some 40's on it and mount a .50cal to the roof.

V6 ?

[houstondallas]

V6 ?

Yes.

Trying to find a car hauler now. Need to pull it back off the ground not dolly it and let rear wheels turn. UHAUL wants $60 for the day to rent one. Damn it

[kingjason]

So it has a engine swap? If so what tranny behind it? I have seen many of those for 4-5k with no body damage (Never mind I see the kit). Not really a bad deal but it is going to cost you 1k for gears. Then no telling what else.

You can flat tow them.

Nah its the stock v6 4.2.

I may not mess with the gears. He said its very driveable around town. That was my concern. Ill have to mess with it and see where its at

[Torinoman]

Stock would be an inline 6 not a v6. People overlook that detail and can confuse things by say V instead of I, so the owner maybe a tad confused on this.

Jeep/AMC did make a 4.2 I6 but I thought it was replaced by the legendary 4.0 I6 by 1990.

Inline...V6....not a car guy. I understand the difference but wasn't that specific. Its a 6 cylinder

I bought mine that was in slightly better and slightly worse shape than that one for 3k, drove it for a few months, and sold it for 4800 to the second person that came to look at it.

[Broncojohnny]

If that price is real that is a good deal. I have a coworker who bought one in Florida and had to replace all of the suspension because of the death wobble they get. He spent about $2K. Even after spending that kind of money I think it is still a pretty good deal. People pay dumb money for jeeps.
