Hi, Just purchased this little red jeep for $500.00 thats gonna be my new little project, it has 253,000 miles 4wheel drive works all it needs is a valve cover gasket. which is about $4.99 at O'Reilys this is gonna be a slow build considering the fact im 17 yrs old and still in school but it should be interesting, Please Enjoy. in the 2nd pic its both of my jeeps

Sounds like your on the right track. I had 2 driving jeeps once then I realized its really expensive having 2 jeeps on the road/trail. I DD mine to college and work while Ive been building it. I really wanted to build my other one that I still have but have neither the time or money to do it.
