Default Selling my jeep :(

So I may be selling my jeep soon to get a car that is more practical for me to travel to and from school in. I have 4.88 gears, front lower adj rock crawler control arms, drag link and flip kit sitting in my garage. my question is, should i pay for all of this to be installed before i sell my rig or should i sell these parts separately?

If it drives nice then leave it put as the mods won't add much value in comparison to the money you'll put into installation.

In my honest opinion, the chances are that most people who are buying jeeps the days wont know the purpose of most of the mods and you wont get your money back in the value of the jeep.

Now on a side note, I will be interested in taking those control arms off of your hands

Definitely keep it stock. All the gear you have can be the down payment on the car. To bad you cant just get a moped to go to school in.

If you do sell, sell the parts separately, they will be worth close to zero once installed.

My advice, move on or close to campus and keep the Jeep

But seriously I can't imagine having a new jeep while going to school. I drove a POS Honda civic in school. $600 and 35mpg

We go to school so we can afford the jeep later

Sell the parts by a cheap street motor cycle or a 80s or 90s sedan on the cheap
