FS/FT: 2 door XJ Trail rig

WTF

The time has come for me to let go of my rig, since I just can’t find time to use it. This is a trail rig in every sense of the word, and it flat out works; it keeps up with my buddies on 42’s and they’re just besides themselves about what a tough, capable little rig it has been.
This rig has been wheeled and as you see it’s not going to win the show & shine but as it sits, this rig is fully ready to hit the trails.

I’ll entertain trades for motorcycles, cars, trucks, boats, etc. Don’t be shy. Cash price is $1,900. Rig is located in Cary, NC near Hendrick automall / Autopark Jeep.

I have a title for the 88 4 door XJ, that can convey if the buyer wishes.

Also available (with this rig only) is a Master Tow 80T Tow dolly with 2 spares, all the straps needed for this rig and a set of 33” BFG MT Rollers I used for longer tows to save wear on the Q-78’s.

Fire away any questions you may have.

Thanks,
Andrew
 
I've got a picture of this thing upside down on Kadak Rock somewhere.

Free bump, even tho it's still on the top. :)

Thanks for selling me that drive shaft too... It's still on there.
 
Say it aint so! Sorry to hear but understand 100% This littel rig followed us up Middle Rock Guarden at Harlan in the rain a few years back. Good rig for a good price.
 
Man I want this thing. I have a CJ project for trade...nice rig!

I'm not looking to trade for any more project wheelers at this time. Scrounge up some change in the couch cushions for change and buy it.

does it come with a rear axle and lugnuts?
Good eye, the swamper is just placed in front of the tow roller BFG MT, as seen in the full photo gallery.
 
Did Matt get in touch with you? If not shoot me a text if you still have my number and I'll pass his along.
 
The little jeep that could! LOL!

 
SOLD!

Good news too is that she'll be staying in the SEC with a great and well respected club member. It was bittersweet to watch her go off on a trailer behind someone elses rig, but i take solace in that I'll be able to see the rig used & abused.

If anyone else is dying to own a WTF-fab built & proven rig, I'll be listing my full body, titled & streetable 87 waggy at the same price in the next week or so, D30/D44 lockrights & 3.55s, 2 full sets of 5(or 6) 32" Wheels & tires ( AT's & MT's), armored, etc.
