I most likely will have to work 7th-8th so planning it off requires 1-weeks notice ...And I've not seen much chatter on it , so b4 I set up days off to run the trip I'm looking to make sure the trip is still rolling...if not I'm rolling carnage Labor day weekend ...lol

 

I'm not coming, selling Jeep.

 

Why are you selling it?

 

Haven't made any post or ads on craigs yet but I'm prolly selling. I'll stick around though. Prolly start a project but we'll see

 

toyota?

 

Gave thought to Toyota but can't find anything I like or want for the price. I have something in mind for another Jeep. But I gotta sell the XJ first

 

tj

 

Nope, it'll be an MJ or XJ. Just kinda reapprocaching the situation here. Real similar to what you did Alex

 

you're young w no kids, and have a nice sled for mpg. you have a real nice xj, which can be used for winter.

i say gear and lock your xj, maybe throw a winch on there. if you want more, go w the 35s (unless you just flat-out dont want your rig). if i didnt need the extra space for the kids and dog, id have a tj. heck, if i could find a deal on one, id still get it lol..

 

It's true. Did that other one ever sell?

 

Its not that I don't like my rig, nothing is wrong with it and it has shown me just how capable open open on 33s can be. If I sell off and buy an older stock XJ or MJ I'll have $$ to throw at the bike and credit card. I'm not a huge fan of my lift and such, but there's no point in parting out. I can take an OEM XJ or MJ and do shackle box, sliders, stiffeners, 1 ton steering, etc etc., and cruise around fine for quite a while. Then after planning , collecting, and saving. I can do axles, lift, lockers, etc all at once.

I still haven't made a listing for it, this is still all new thoughts but probably going to list it and try to find a stocker. Maybe a fixer upper that requires little work or somethin. I dunno. I like tinkering

 

they said it did, but it's still on there.. maybe i'll ask you to harrass them for me, tomo lol..

 

gotcha... that makes sense.

i like my current xj so much better than my zj, or the 2 door after i went bigger. the zj was a beast on the trail. it was nice having all that flex and power, but it was too big for my taste. too heavy. too loud. i'm more of an expedition guy than a rock crawler anyway.

but yeah, i can see your point. if you can sell your xj for around 6ish, and then buy a pretty clean stocker for about $2k, throw $1k at it or less, you will have a nice driving rig, good on gas, reliable and trailable. plus $3k left over.

 

btw, sorry to ruin your bs thread, george lol..

 

Good Luck !!!
