I wouldn't trade for that thing unless I was planning on ripping it apart and starting over. It's got screwed up steering, hideous 600 lb. bumpers, and an oil soaked junkyard special of a motor. I can only imagine the issues hidden in that POS.

I would run away from that cj7 its a basket case.The wiring under the hood looks like a mess,The steering is a death trap lucky it hasn't broke yet.The engine i doubt its a 400 its probably a 305,And even if its a 400 you don't want one in a off roader they run hot and over heat easy.

Damn look at those 6" pipe bumpers. Those look useful. You could store water in them on the trail.
