last febuary i purchased my first jeep. it was a 95 red 2dr 5spd xj, by far the best 1200 bucks ever spent even thought it was only 2wd, ive put around 2500 in to it just with stuff breaking, last week my transmission messed up real bad so im doing the biggest upgrade ever which should of happened along time ago, it will be my project also. but im purchasing this:
98 jeep cherokee classic 4dr auto
4.0L
stock everything
46,798 miles
but its been hit in the drivers door, messed up front fender,rocker panel and door, but drives great, do you think this is capable of being a good DD with the body damage, it looks like i can just get the rocker panel pushed back out, and it will definatly become weekend warrior
gettin it for $1000. good deal or bad

You can get a new rocker panel and just cut that one out with a spot weld cutter. Not hard at all. Now how much you have to do to get the new one to fit is another story. Doesnt look bad though.

seems like a decent deal , other then the damage the thing looks clean , you can try to weld a tab to the rocker and use a come along to pull it out and hit the floor with a hammer and try to get everything back into shape , (im a body guy btw) but do not cut the rocker off with out having the rest of it pulled out , you need to relieve all the pressure off of everything else or it will never be right , or if you know anyone at a body shop have them set it up on a bench and measure it out and do the rough pulling for you the rest is cake

I'd offer him $600 and see what he says. well he was wanting 1500, and its in excellent shape except for the damage and he is giving me a new full door
What happened to your AX-15? things are built tough and I haven't heard of them breaking unless you use the wrong type of gear lube in them.
