Have you considered parting it out? I'm mainly curious what you'd want for the winch?

At present point, the vehicle is not mine to part out...although that may be what ultimately happens. I just don't know yet. So far, nearly every interested buyer only really wants a few specific parts any how...And, as you've probably guessed, the Atlas transfer case and winch seem to be really popular items.
I do however have several other winches available that are mine, and are already removed from vehicles and ready to sell. Some are new, or near new. While others may have been used for a few pulls at best. Some are Warn, others are the Tabor brand made by warn...How big of winch are you really interested in?... 8000, 9,500, 10,000? How much do you want to spend? Do you want a complete winch w/ steel cable on the drum, or would synthetic rope be desired....Or maybe not cable/rope at all since you may already have something in your own inventory/parts stash you intend to use....Help me help you....its not like I really need to be sitting on a pile of parts all the time. One (wife) might begin to think I've completely lost it, as I already have a small stable full of Jeeps and projects of my own.:cheers:

Anyone know what happened to this? This is my old xj and I may be interested in buying it back.

Rob, I bought the XJ from you and drove it daily for a couple of years.... then sold it to a friend about 1 year ago. The jeep is still around and my friend is still contemplating selling or parting the jeep out. However, he has been bit of a flake lately. Seems he cant make up his mind as to how/if he is going to finish his "project." But he keeps buying more parts anyways.... Although, I guess I have recently been placed at the helm of his project.. ie he discovered he is in over his head and now wants *help* (me) to reassemble the interior, install all the ORF body armor, ARB bumper & warn winch combo, HDoffroad frame plates.... along with fabricating/altering a long-arm suspension and 5.5" lift springs in order to finally complete the installation of Custom cut 63" wide Dana 60s "kingpin" front and shaved housing rear, and 37"s+ tires...depending on the whims of my friend, it may even get the motor rebuilt. Should be lots of fun in the coming weeks. Send me a PM if you are serious, and I will get you in touch with the current owner. I know very recently he was willing to dump the entire project for a screaming deal.
