Default buyer advise

I am looking to buy this but need some advice first?

I have a 1990 Cherokee 4x4 auto, Black and Silver, with 4:11's, 32's, new brakes, rancho RS5000's, Rough Country steering stabilizer, external tranny cooler, trail lights, welded rear, 3" lift, fenders cut, 94 up cooling system, no carpet and the driver seat is broken but have the complete interior out of a 2000 model that hasen't been installed that goes with it. Optima red top battery. No sway bars. New plugs,wires, distributor ect. 1600 obo
The pretty cheap in alabama for one


the welded rear is what has me stopped and what about the sway bars? Would I need to buy anything to go with it like the sway bars and a new rear to make it a DD or would i be safe?

you dont need quick disconnects but if you go wheelin at all you will want them, basickly it disconnects the front sway bar for more flex, and the worse that will happen with the rear end is the welds will break most likely causing damage to your rear end, if your using it as a dd i'd say grab a cheap jy rear that has not been welded

ok thanks From what you said I got my groove I would take if I am able to talk him a few hundred.

Ill get the front sway and I dont want quick discos cause they wear to easy, Im not worried about flex as much as staying on the road and just mudding. Also If I was to get a good rear and not a cheapo what would I be looking for Years and models.

For me information is success.

if its the same as my 90 i believe its the dana 35. not sure of the years though but make sure you have the same gearing as the front, you'll tear your jeep apart if they have different gears lol

Oh ya that will be the first thing I do, then the sway bars and maybe the axel all in one. But lets see how money plays into it.
