so here it is i have not gone down to check it out yet but my best friend has had 2 jeeps and we are building a rock crawler so he is kind of my go to guy:looser:

JOOP · Mar 17, 2009

How much do they want for it? I'd wheel it just like that until you get more experience.

RCYJ · Mar 17, 2009

6 g's i might be able to get him to 55 but he seems like a d-bag so idk. it looks like a solid rig from what i can see in in the pics like i said he has all the records from it witch helps me feel better about nit buying a peace of ****. i have already done that once and dont wanna do it again.

RCYJ · Mar 17, 2009

at the risk of sounding retarded :eeek: i also think that he has the sky jacker single leaf spring lift on it.

Thats to much. I'll explain..

1. its a 4.2 carb'd
2. looks like its a little abused
3. check for rust. I see it's parked on the beach. Salt water eats them up.
4. How many miles??
5. nothing really special about it other than a lift and tires.

Ideally it's worth about $3500-4000.

RCYJ · Mar 17, 2009

ya i will do the usual rust check he said it has not really been wheeled and that they took it t ocean shores once and those are the only pics they have of it idk what i believe thanks for your in put ill see what come out of the offer
and idk on miles i will see if i can find it on craigs list again. it was the dudes girl friends and i believe that cuz of the gay ass flower in the back window.

J_SIN · Mar 17, 2009

that jeep has been on CL for months. he's obviously asking too much for it.

RCYJ · Mar 17, 2009

Murkman · Mar 17, 2009

Put it this way, 5 seconds of looking found this:

1988 Jeep WRANGLER w/ 2000 6cyl. ing & Tran ** - $3800

That

That Jeep is not really a good deal. It still has a dana 35. Here are a few different examples of what would make a little better entry level wheeler.

RCYJ · Mar 17, 2009

hey guys thanks for helpin me look i really appreciate it.

jimijam19K · Mar 17, 2009

I'm just going to re-iterate what has already been said. that jeep is overpriced for what your getting. A newer YJ (91-95) or even a early TJ is a better platform to start with.

Just my $0.02 but start with a fuel injected motor, don't even waste your time or money on a carbed 4.2. (again 91 & up) After that as long as the mechanicals are in good order you can't go wrong, enjoy your new rig!

RCYJ · Mar 17, 2009

http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/ctd/1068769130.htm offer about 5 for it and see where it goes
http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/1077850339.html offer 7500 and again see where it takes me.
i am not feeling the 4cyl i need something with some more beef.

http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/1076532950.html try this. this is the first one that dosent work

JOOP · Mar 17, 2009

Whatever you buy, DO NOT get a 4cylinder. They are gutless and a waste of money. Later down the road you will wish you bought a 6 cylinder.

Nice ride I would ask why the top end was rebuilt and maybe have a compression test done to check the bottom end.

What lift does it have a body or spring blocks or a suspension system (short arm long arm)?

But it would also be a good starting point and could be used as is to have lots of fun...
