I could sell the complete rig including Accurate Power 4.6l stroker, AW4, 242 t-case, Bilstein shocks, D-shafts, Warn 9500i, Mobi-Arc welder and cage if anyone wants a ready-to-go, climb anything rig. It needs some body work and a couple tubes replaced on the cage.

Holy shit Jon - this sucks. What are your plans?

For anyone considering it - Jon's rig is "the shit" where overall fabrication is concerned - it's a thing of beauty guys. It's one very well thought out and executed rig.

My roommate may be interested in the hydro setup for his buggy. Ill let him know when he gets back from work. Are you willing to ship?

There are no plans... Times are tough and the Jeep is pretty low on the priority list. I'd rather have a house than a Jeep. If you need some welding or general fab work I'd be happy to work for cash. TIG, MIG, and the usual debauchery. Money talks.

Yeah, I'll ship. It's a bit heavy so shipping is $$$. Local buyers have first dibs, but anything is negotiable.

He's gotta sell some coil overs and some air shocks first...

If you get the chance sell them, if not let me know a little down the road and we'll see what we can do.

 

[Kittrell]

Out of sheer curiosity Jon, what would you let the whole thing go for?

 

[Kaczman]

I'd like to get $8000 for everything, bit I know built rigs get killed on resale... It needs some work to make it look good again. Mechanically, it's solid; aesthetically, it could use a little work (it needs fenders, the new hood installed, and a skinned roof). I'm willing to fix it up a bit, but it'd still be an XJ buggy, not an XJ.

-Jon

 

[Kittrell]

Thats actually an unbelievable price. I do know the resale is a crap shoot. But I would still expect to see yours in the 10s, easy. I'll trade ya.............:laugh3:

 

[Kaczman]

I wish. Sweet buggy's are going for 11-15k on Pirate. Mine's a pile of parts compared to what's out there. I built for function over form and now it'll kill me... Maybe I'll find a way to keep it, but I'm running out of options and time.

[Kaczman]

Never mind. See you on the trail.
