my first vehicle and my first jeep is an 89xj. currently my daily driver. 1.5"bb and 31x11.5s
my second jeep was an 88xj, currently a parts donor for the DD and being parted out.
my third is a 68 cj5 i bought a week ago. 200bucks got me a good frame, good axles, rusty suspension, rotted body and no drivetrain. this is on hold and not a priority
here is my question:
does this purchase sound reasonable?
originally $3000 wanted.
1992xj laredo. 166000k on odo. driver side rocker rusted through and surface rust spots in floor (nothing compared to the gaping hole my 89xj had under the rear bench). ~3-3.5" skyjacker lift, good 31x10.5s, stock size spare. gibson catback + recently installed cat. airraid instake + throttle body spacer.
here is what i found while test driving it and quickly checking it over at home. it pulls to the right, the tires show feathering as if its toe in problems. needs brakes. only high beams work, no low beams. interior lights like dash/plenum controls/centerconsole do not work. dome and kicker panel lights work. intermediate starting problems, i figured out if i play around with attempting to start in neutral then park a couple times it will crank over (NSS?). the parking lamps alternate blinking with the turn signals.
i offered him 1500 for it and he accepted.
for the head lights i want to make my own harness to run H4 housings and bulbs. im not too sure on the dash lights though. should i offer something less
any opinions will be greatly appreciated :yap:
