Would you pay 19,000 for a jeep like this or pass?I intend to lift the jeep and put 35-37 under it.
just curious, you've been a member here on jk forum since 2006, do you not already have a Jeep??

I paid 18K for my '08 JKU Sahara 6-speed, all those options, but mine's 2WD.
you can pm me with whatever you wanted to say.

thanks for your opinion,i was thinking the same thing but i dont want a 40k plus new jeep to take off road and scratch the crap out of it.

i looked at new sport jeeps for 23,000 then add in 15,000 for upgrades to make it a rubi with 37`s set up properly brings you up to 40k.then take it out and wheel it throught trees and rocks

Oh Ok, are you keeping the fj and looking for a trail rig?? or are you also going to be using the jeep as a dd, I think you should be able to find something a little better for around the same money, there are a lot of mall crawlers out there.

Good luck

Pass on it. I can't trust owners that don't take care of their Jeeps. We all get ours dirty, I clean mine up a little more thoroughly than most, but if it looks like its been ridden hard and put away wet, it probably has. Find yourself a mall Jeep, it won't have been driven hard. Then you can buy it, and drive it hard.
