Just went through the pictures. "Just builted" "to much to list"

A "warm climate state like Arizona." Apparently this guy has never camped on the rim of the Grand Canyon. Overnights are COLD up there.

My wife needs a new car....but I don't think this is it. She doesn't care for white cars.

I like how he didn't list a lot of the upgrades, but did list the "cooler in the back to keep your drinks cold."



EDIT: I just noticed the angry eyes. It is back in consideration for my wife's new ride!!

But it's got THORNBIRDS! You know, for running down those zombies at the mall.

 

[wizardPC]

It's also 2wd

 

[Cottontail]

But still....angry eyes, guys!

 

[High2by]

Wish my engine bay was that clean...

Sounds like a cracked head but if the rest of it is even halfway decent $500 is a steal even if it is 2wd

Another possibly good project FSJ

Sorely tempted here:

I have 2 working transfer cases in my garage. The problem is that instead of doing the smart thing--replacing the tcase and then putting it back on CL for twice as much--I would probably end up spending a year moving stuff from my 98 over to it lol.

FYI, this poor guy:

I was going to head down there this weekend to negotiate and probably pick that up for the wife.

In case he deletes it soon, it's an 04 overland, factory nav, sunroof, maroon, 126k on the odometer, and $6500.

Ran a carfax on it today, and 18 months ago it sold at auction in Wisconsin with 260,000 miles on it. A private party registered it two months later, and then about 6 weeks after that this guy registered it. He said when he bought it the odometer read 109k. The shock level over the phone makes me think he had no idea.

I've learned not to trust a clean carfax--I once bought an XJ that had a clean carfax but had been rolled. But sometimes they do catch this stuff.

so are you saying someone changed the millage on it?

 

[Cottontail]

Doubt they changed the miles. Probably just popped in a different cluster with lower mileage showing.

Those clusters come out pretty easy.

1999 2 door auto 4x4 for only $1800.

[wizardPC]

Anyone know how hard it would be to find the passenger side door card and window glass for that?

 

[Cottontail]

Probably hard in the salvage market. Not many 2 doors hanging around the junk yards.

That said, you can probably pick them up (at least the glass) on RockAuto pretty easy.

 

[Lowrange2]

I wouldn't count on it. That's a tough find. I sold those for top dollar last year.

I still have a manual window regulator for that.

Worked on Big Hooptie this weekend. The brakes were sketchy when I bought it due to the previous owner's failed attempt at doing a brake job. Over the last couple of years he had replaced everything except the driver's front brake hose (which looked rotten with dry cracking and rusty fittings). Don't know why he didn't replace that, but then again I don't understand why people will replace only one critical part under their vehicle when there's usually another one on the other side that's just as old and worn. :bs:

But anyway, there was plenty of air in the system and a good bleeding did the trick at first to get her on the road safely. After driving it for a while and doing a test tow with my trailer I realized the passenger side front rotor had been glazed from trying to do most of the braking for the whole truck. So today I went ahead and replaced both front brake hoses and sanded the glazing off the rotors and pads. Took it for a test drive and she stops as well as I would expect now.

Then I got some new tars for the rear! Fronts are still in great shape so four news ones went on the back. I got a little taller tire than the originals to get a little more highway speed. 4.10's with 215/85r16's pretty much limited me to 60 MPH if I didn't want to make the engine scream.


Then I test fit our Jeep tent on the truck. It was a promotional dealership item that came with XJ's back around 2000 or so. Bummer that it was too big to fit on the truck bed so we pulled out our slightly smaller backup tent, and it fit perfectly! Go RVing the redneck way! This should beat sleeping on the ground, especially if it rains.

I pulled an AX-15 out of a 96 two door at the LQK here in charlotte last weekend. But if I remember correctly it has Manual windows and locks.

Jeez I posted in the wrong section. Getting old sucks.
