Picked this off craigslist today for $1000. Could have talked him down but he got laid off Friday and that didn't sound cool to me. It is not my old ****** cj-5, but I think I can make her work.

Great find! Now That's a Jeep! I think Sherman and Associates sell quarters and/or patch panels for that.

Odometer says 51000 so I guess 151000, but as clean as it is... I don't know. Almost no rust. The back window cup is rusted out internally but I think all of them are after after 40+ years. Couldn't pass it up.

I will probably use it as the toy. I was thinking of getting rid of the cherokee now that the wagon is in the picture.

I am surprised that it is in such good shape for being in Washington... One here would be dead at the junk yard rotting away...

It's got 4 superlift springs under it. It is on 31's right now. I am so torn between toy and classic. If I go with toy, I will probably go with 35's. The only rust I have found is in the tail gate and the floor boards. I might try and find a different tail gate. I plan on rhino lining the inside floors. Help me make up my mind. The quadratrac is awsome. Unless I screw it up, it should go pretty good down a many trails. I have never seen one in such good shape since I was a kid. Hey, thought. What about a classic trail rig?

Since it is a classic truck, I would not wheel it at all.
