This might be kinda long...but I'd love some opinions!
So I've had the XJ for about 6 years now. I built it up from a stock daily-driver to a pretty competent trail machine...35's w/ all the goodies. After retiring her from daily-driving duty, the body went downhill...the passenger side is pretty trashed.
I had a blast in that thing in college, but a few years out of school, it's not the same. I don't have the time or the friends nearby to spend any time off-road. The poor Jeep has been sitting in the garage for the past couple years... The closest thing to off-road she's seen was loading her up for a weekend car-camping trip. Besides that, I pick up stuff from Lowe's every once in a while... Even that doesn't work that well, the leaf springs were almost inverted with the back full of mulch and sand bags!!
I've also gotten into motorcycles in the past couple years and spend any free weekend days in the mountains in 1-wheel drive instead of 4.
So...what do to... 1)eBay, maybe get a few thousand, 2)Parting out, probably get $4k total, 3)??
I just don't think I could part it out...waaay too much blood and sweat in it...I'd much rather see it enjoyed. I know plenty of people have gone from project to project and not gotten too attached, but not so for me. On the other hand, I'm not sure about selling it whole...there's not a huge market for a dented XJ w/ no back seat and a gutted interior.
What does the forum think?
