You're selling a half finished project with half the parts to finish it. If I were you I'd just part out the uninstalled items and sell the Jeep. Best of luck to you.

I would say I have more than half the parts. At least I already have the big ticket items.

I don't have access to any of my detailed pics right now... internet sucks for me.

Back in Germany when it was first lifted. I was deployed and the wife was having some fun.

Now, it sits in my garage... However, the garage is cleaner now.
