Save yourself some time & money. Buy my built rig.
I have recently (within 1 year) gone through the entire rig & replaced ALL fluids, plugs, wires, cap & rotor, front & rear bearings, ball joints, brakes, battery and every sensor on it (TPS, CPS, MAP, COOLANT, ETC). Nothing was wrong with any it, I just wanted to make sure everything was in great shape (still have the originals as spares). The springs are so new they aren't even broken in yet (<300 miles on the entire suspension). 102K on the body & frame. Motor was replaced by previous owner with a 98 TJ 4.0 HO and the AX-15 was rebuilt. It is SOA with 87 Waggy D44s with Flat top knuckles & 1 ton TREs. It came from TX and there is no rust on it.
What's wrong with it .... the paint on the hood chipped where the hood hit the windshield (I touched it up but it's not great) and it could use the E350 Master Cylinder conversion ($78) because the 4 wheel disc is a little soft for the heavy ass boggers ... but they do work. Other than that (and the springs not being broken in), this rig is perfect and ready to wheel.
Since I have gotten this rig I have put under 2,000 miles on it. I am selling it because of that exact reason ... With my job, I just don't have the time I thought I would to be able to enjoy it. I took it to Hammond once and had a great time, but wheeling once a year isn't worth keeping a vehicle around for me. The motor runs great and it creeps when you want it to.
10K obo.
I'm in no rush to sell this and I believe I can get over 10K for it, but I am open to offers. No trades. A beat ass 4.0 YJ with rust will run you 5K, add the 98 motor($750), tranny rebuild ($500), axles ($800), steering ($650) lockers ($1400), gears ($400), cage ($500), bumpers ($650), springs ($600), new sensors ($300) and you have over 6.5K. That doesn't include any labor, the tires, bearings, ball joints, anti wrap and all the odds & ends I have listed below or forgotten ... plus the fact that almost all of the maintainence parts on this are less than 1 year old. I even got new front blinker housings.
You won't have to go in and replace everything like I did.
