Whats up PNW people,
Im getting ready to relocate from the Central Coast of California to the seattle area. I got offered a job working for an injection moling shop, and decided to take it, since, for whatever reason, everyone where i currently live decided that 1 bedroom apartments should rent for around $1300 a month, wheeling is pretty much non existant here, and if i have to listen to one more dude talk to me about his F350 with the tribal paint scheme down the side of it and his 10 inch lift, I will throw myself from the balcony of one of the 3 bars in my town.
I am making my move on next sunday, in my toyota corolla. I also own and beat a 94 2dr 5spd 4.0 XJ, and im concerned about bringing it up there. I have a couple questions that i hope you guys can help me with.
What is going to be expected of my XJ to get it registered? Im not worried about emmissions, CA is the most strict on that of anywhere so i think anything like that would be fine. Im worried about things like Bumpers, the fact that my fenders are fairly non existant, the crack in my windshield, and fees getting it reg'd up there.
Another option is this: I have a friend who is waving $3000 cash at me on a nightly basis for this rig. Im considering selling it and attempting to pick up a comparable XJ for roughly the same price. Whats the market like up there for trail ready XJ's? Ive done a little bit of looking on Craigs list and have seen a couple interesting rigs, but I wanted a little advce on the vehicle market up there before i decide on anything.
Anyone else living in a fairly urbane area up there with any insight on owning a trail rig in a fairly densely populated area?
I'd apreciate any feedback on this.
As it sits:
As it does stuff instead of sitting.
