man thats like a needle in a haystack bud. On a brighter note I lived not far from there. Good luck in your search. If you can make a friend down at the dealership someone might slip ya the name.

EDIT: NM I SEE THE SOUTH LOGO You might just pull it off unless the original owner is no longer on here anymore. Looks like they started the work on it and gas prices or life got in the way and they traded her off. Be good to her, she will treat you right just as long as you do the same to her

Thanks For your help, I looked under at the bump stops and springs and stuff. I got Teraflex bump stops, Old Man Emu coils and sway bar connectors. I am still running stock shocks which I Guess I should Upgrade since I am running 35's. I have alot of damage on the under carriage. My fuel tank skid plate is bent so far up it has dented my gas tank very bad. Also my muffler is dented extremely bad which is easy to replace. My diff is all dented on the bottom too. I know its a Jeep and its made for offroading, but I hope I didnt throw my money away buying a jeep that has been ragged. I learned my lesson though, I will Fully Inspect my next purchase, and not buy anymore cars at night when I can't see!!!! This is my first wrangler I have always wanted one, I hope it turns out for the best!

I have alot of damage on the under carriag.
Sepends on the damage if this is a big deal or not


My fuel tank skid plate is bent so far up it has dented my gas tank very bad.
Easy Fix, replace the skid plate and unless the dent has weakened the gas tank dont worry about it.

Also my muffler is dented extremely bad which is easy to replace.
You're correct very easy to replace.

My diff is all dented on the bottom too.
What part is actually dented? The pumpkin or the cover?


I know its a Jeep and its made for offroading, but I hope I didnt throw my money away buying a jeep that has been ragged.
No one should ever purchase a jeep expecting anything less than being offroaded.


I learned my lesson though, I will Fully Inspect my next purchase, and not buy anymore cars at night when I can't see!!!! This is my first wrangler I have always wanted one, I hope it turns out for the best!
Lesson learned. The issues are minor and easily fixed. Replacements can be gotten from a salvage yard easily or even on here. Never purchase a car at night lol. Congrats on the wrangler bud and keep the shiney side up. Welcome to the family.

Sounds like what the underside of mine looks like after wheeling rocks at superlift... it's all cosmetic though, no biggie.
