For now, I'm just going to drive it, do some light wheelin and experience it stock. By spring I may be chomping at the bit to start prepping it for some more challenging terrain, hopefully a good snowy winter. plowing= jeep parts!

Oreilly's has some trim paint that I used on mine. My trim was grey and now it looks brand new thanks to this stuff. Make sure you clean the pieces very well or you will see the imperfections.

Its has 113k and I paid 4k for it, the motor runs strong, no rust and everything works, hopefully it turns out to be a good little buggy. I was looking to pay around 3k but hard find one in Mass without lots of rust.

that trim is plastic right? Then get some Forever Black, much easier to apply and it works great. Cheap too.

Most definitely. Below is a link where others used it as well and it works great. With really faded plastic it may take 2-3 applications, but there should be more than enough in one bottle. It applies easy and there is no problem if you get it on the body as it will wash off with some water.
