him and me both ...I am still working on that one

 

Thanks I would love a staycation !!! I have so much stuff to do around here and I have Jeep parts to install

 

Yes..it was a blast...wasn't expecting to get to wheel...lake Travis is 50 below normal...it was sad...but it was fun..one of the guys there new how to spot me on some rocks so it worked out great...ill get with you on the stickers..thanks...

 

sounds like fun no problem on the stickers. a lot of my customers are having trouble producing water to their districts and treating the water with chemicals to make it safe to drink, water on the lakes are down....way down , not to mention that blue/green toxic crap is on almost every water way in the area now.

 

Yah..what sux is Lake Travis sold out and started selling water to rice farmers..they get the water no matter what..all other lakes in area are fine...

 

that sucks

 

my friend has had me help him find a wrangler for him, he drove a Honda Prelude but while driving to his house in Stillwater, a nice deer came out and decided to stop him, so hes been selling what he can piece by piece and from riding with me, he wanted a Jeep.

problem was, his budget was $5k. So after looking all over and trying i-35 sports with all their jeeps that would be great as toys but not daily drivers...we just saw a few YJ's to choose from. And although 1 was in great shape with the exception of a rebuilt motor, I dont think it was settling with him well on daily driving a vehicle from the year he was born. Plus the leaf springs were/are unknown really to my generation. But we wouldnt rule them out cause the odds of finding a TJ for around 5k is just uncommon unless its a toy or been wrecked.

But then here comes a guy from tulsa that does alot of traveling and hasnt had luck selling his TJ. We went to look at it..i went with my friend so i can make sure nothing was out of the ordinary, and sure enough it didnt look bad. 5 speed, 4 cyl, 1997 wrangler lifted with a rough country lift. Interior is great condition, exterior just had the usual wear. Just didnt have air conditioning from the factory. He was fine with that cause his preludes AC went out a long time ago. So his dad went up with him to look at it today and they bought it for $5,200 which was a great price for this jeep i think. The only thing i was hesitant about was the springs, they looked pretty worn, so i dont know about that.

but here is a picture..he has cleaned it up since the picture though:



sorry for the long post (hes removed the sticker...and i will be helping him remove the chrome we can this weekend. )

 

not a bad price at all and it looks like it is in good shape. aero 303 will bring the black plastic back to life. nice find

 

Thanks! i forgot all about that stuff. ill be sure i pick some up for me and him.

Do any of you know if there is anything to look out for on TJ's?

 

last picture of the rear with the spare i took...hopefully i can get updated pictures tomorrow.
