How is someone going to know if the jeep has any driving issues?
You can go with them and make sure they don't do anything you don't approve.

You dont marry a chick without test driving first...same goes for cars.
X3...if I was coming over to look at it and you told me "no ticky no washy" I would beat feet immediately...

Im sorry but that is the worst thing i ever heard. People need to test drive a vehicle. Specially one that's modded. If i saw your jeep in person, plus the price, id be scared of the mods and if they were half assed. Even professionally done mods were probably half assed

if you were to go buy a car you would want to give it the once over why would you not do that for someone else. dont get me wrong if your worried go with them but doesnt sound like you really want it to sell.

Why did you even bother answering the phone? Nobody's going to buy a vehicle they can't test drive.

If I was to sell my jeep(which I never will) I would take the guy wheeling, he is obviously buying my jeep for its capabilities and it being pre built I would want to show him it was done right.
If he couldn't go wheeling, I would let him drive it. You need to drive a vehicle before you buy one

Make sure the negative cable that runs from the battery post to the engine block is solid!
Take the ends apart and clean them good, then make sure they are tight.......Make sure it actually bolts to the engine block!

If they are not clean and solid, you are sending all your cranking amps through the body of the jeep, via the flat braided ground strap.........That strap is not designed to carry that many amps. That is why it gets so hot it glows.......

Interesting thought......

Probably a quite valid assessment.

Never, because I haven't really done anything to mine other than find the things someone else did to it before I bought it. Don't think I ever will either, I always own up to my stupidity, here is an example


And yes that is mine, I still haven't gotten that darn thing in the air.

As for what i did to my XJ today, I looked to see if there was any movement on my parts order. I was surprised to see that my quarter panels have been processed, just waiting on the HD tie rod and it will ship to me.

Got the WJ LCAs grinded down for clearance. There's still a little contact when I rocked the **** out of the XJ, but 99% of it is gone. Gonna go back to working in a little but see what else I can get done.
