^^^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.

It was 65 degree's here in WV yesterday so I took the day off and me and my son Clayton hit the woods. Clayton ran his first trail yesterday and did great for 14 years old...Kid might just be mine after all....LOL

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.
