^^^Totally agree with EZ!

Picking up a 2wd might not be a bad idea. I have a beat down 2000 XJ in the garage that I could take everything from.

People want a fortune for a running 4x4 MJ but a blown up 4cyl 2wd Mj is cheap.. The tan one in those pics I bought running for 700 dollars.

I lost track of the costs around 3500... If I was quessing somewhere around 5000. It would have been alot cheaper if I went with a 4 ft wide and a steet version that didn't have 35's and a/c and heat. It started out as a weekender but me and my wife started thinking we would use it for longer vacations so we spent more then expected, I wanted the weight at 1000, but I'm sure I'm way over that. My quess would be 1,200-1,300 empty.
