Re: What do you think of this find...
The only thing i see is with those 35in tires, any kind of descent wheeling you will break them tiny axles. Has potential though. For some reason i still think its kind of a high price..but then again i dont ever shop for jeeps so i dont know what they are going for.

Re: What do you think of this find...
I agree that the price is just a bit steep but it is really clean and has absolutely no issues. I agree about the axles, Imma start looking for a good deal on a 60/14B or 60/60 combo but I don't plan on wheeling it much in the upcoming year; A few trips to the OBX and just running around in some of the local spots so I'm not too worried about the axles just yet...

Yeah there is a 79 CJ 7 out in Asheville NC for $6000 that has a GM fuel injected 5.3L, Dana 60 rear, Dana 44 front, lockers, and hydraulic steering that I was looking at. Just don't want to drive 7 hours and not buy it. I've given the guy 2 weeks to get me more pictures and he hasn't.

Re: What do you think of this find...
best way to save money bro. you can get something cheap that would have cost almost 10K or more to build. And not to sure on what you have done to your truck or not but just adding a lift kit to something doesnt mean its built sooo. Not sure what you are implying by that statement. But whatever the case its a clean ass jeep the other one would be though would be awesome if you want to hit the rocks right away!
