It has a clean title and clean history too. Nothing wrong with it at all. It came with a set of full and half doors to boot! Ok yah it did look like a little faggot jeep when I bought it but I would have none of that and I started modding it within a week.<br /><br /> <img src="http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/3678/blackjeeporiginal11ml8.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br />Ok now for the upgrades. I put some 33 MTR's and some black steelies, found a complete super 35 axle with full detroit and 4.56s and bolted that sucker in, installed an aussie locker up front with 4.56s, 1.25 body lift, 1 inch motor mount lift, 2 inch pro comp spring lift with skyjacker hydros, extended the bumpstops and added jks quicker disconnects. So far I have a total of just over $4700 into it including the $3000 purchase price and here's what it looks like today. Locked front and rear geared and ready to tear some shit up. Waxed it up and its so reflective that you can use it as a mirror. Doesn't look so faggotish now does it! <br /><br /> <img src="http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/2552/blackjeep11yn7.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /> <br /> <small>[ August 01, 2006, 07:54 PM: Message edited by: cummins ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Eddie510</b> <br /><small>Member # 2354</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,7,1,20,15,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> if this is true cummins, thats a bad ass looking jeep man. its just doesnt look like the same one, the top the mirrors,plates,bumper.

It is the same jeep. Right now I have a hard top on it. It originally came with a faded soft top and I just traded the soft top + 200 for the hard top. The bumper is the same I just pulled off those stupid end caps and sold them. The mirrors are attached to the doors so the half doors in the first pic have different mirror than the full doors in the 2nd pic. This jeep came with both sets of doors when I bought it and they have different type of mirrors on them. I guess they had a different style for half door and different style for full doors. Hell I could sell either set of doors for $1000 no prob. I wonder why the person didn't sell one set? Beats me but hell I ain't complaining I got an extra set of $1000 doors for free!

This little thing is so fun to drive around. Its a night and day difference between this TJ and my CJ7. I found this jeep through a friend who knows I like jeeps. The sellers needed money badly they were in a situation where they needed to get out of the car quickly. One of those "I need cash right now" things. So I offered up 3k and they took it! Hell I should have offered $2500 instead but to tell you the truth I didn't think that they would go for $3k. Especially since it has a clean title and clean history. I was expecting them to counter offer but instead they just asked if I had the money with me. I pulled out 3k and they said SOLD! I quickly signed all the papers and brought it back home before they had time to change their minds.<br /><br />Bring this to the "runs?" yah right! The only thing this could run is a turtle with a broken leg. Its slow. I'm guessing it would do the 1/4 in 22. <br /><br />What kind of DD are you looking for?<br /><br />Thanks for the compliments! This thing is a blast. I am planning to take it out this weekend or next. I'll snap some pics for sure! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>bunchmyfunky</b> <br /><small>Member # 360</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2006,7,3,12,55,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Looks good!

Boooooo. I took the big jeep and the front end started making noise so I just cruised around in rear drive only. Boring. I think the pinion backed out because the driveshaft would rotate 1/2 turn before the front end engaged. And if I engaged the front it would clunk horribly when driven. So left it in rwd and played around on the sissy trails and got bored quick. But I did get to winch 2 rigs out 1 jeep yj and 1 toy truck. hahahahahaha.
