Could you double space it next time? i dont think you put enough spaces in there!
also put some CAPITAL LETTERS TO EMPHASIS EVERYTHING YOU THINK IS IMPORTANT!

Hope you sell it.. seems a bit high but good luck!
 
Lol! Yeah sorry about the spacing. A lot of that was from the original ad the way the guy I bought it from typed it. I was going to retype it but it was late and I was too lazy lol!
And as for the price I'm always open to offers via PM's. I'm also willing to take off a few of the accessories and go a little cheaper.
 
My curiosity is killing me. Why is the truss on the bottom and not on top? I realize that a truss built that way is actually stronger than on top but that's really only practical in the desert in go fast stuff.

No, it doesn't hang lower than the diff but for me that kills 4" of clearance. You can easily aim the axle tube for rocks.

Now it has a shovel on the front of it.

It's be awesome to let some air out of the front tires and grade my driveway.
 
At the most your loosing a little over three inches plus it tapers so that diminishes towards the tires. Mounting it on the bottom was the only way to get it to run the full length of the axle.

We run a lot of old road beds out here and sometimes at speed so it's good for a lot more than just the desert.
 
Are you guys even the least bit interested or just trying to piss on his thread? I mean good god just stop and think before you type a comment in every single thread. Its getting a bit ridiculous. If you have a comment or question about his jeep and your not interested then shoot him a PM.
 
Do you have a jeep to go flip?
 
So are you interested in his jeep geek? If not why did you have to make negative comments about his ad and price? Would you want that done to you? Can't you just stop and think before you post?
 
I just wanted to know why he made a truss on the bottom of the axle. He answered my question. Now I'm happy.

The bad part about listing a vehicle for sale in a forum is people can comment on it. You might get positive comments or negative comments. Either way you have to be prepared for them and to not get your panties in a bunch.

See, ya can't do that on craigslist, ebay or papers ads... man I wish you could...

The poster obviously didn't have a problem with my questions and answered them. It's his Jeep. I just wanted to know why he did it that way. Simple as that.

What I find hilarious is when someone completely unrelated tries to step in and fix the 'problem'.

To answer your question... Yes, I'm interested in buying another Jeep.

The classifieds are not a discussion forum. They are for someone to post their ad. Your comment about grading your driveway with it and it being a shovel proves my point. You were simply trying to be negative and you disguised it by acting like you were curious about it. Its pretty obvious. So if you cant take the high road and stop pissing on peoples threads then we can leave it at that. But just remember when you post something up for sale what goes around comes around.

I'm glad you've made your point.

I'll keep it in mind.
 
PM sent.

The truss on the front....is it feasible to cut that sucker lengthwise and make it a couple inches higher up, then re-weld the truss? Or would that completely defeat the purpose of the truss? Not trying to start a ruckus, just curious.
