How are the tires looking? What lift kit? Is it regeared for the 33's?

Below is the link:


Its an awesome deal for 1200$ as long as it runs even if its in rough shape. But how could you know that it even runs if the fuel pump is not hooked up? What if the motor or trans is blown? Why wouldnt he just hook up the fuel pump and sell it for more? I guess I would have to see that it runs first. Wouldnt care about DW or the rust etc. I mean it is 1200$, but it has to run.

Good luck man. Keep us posted on what happens with it.

he has only had it for 2 days and he told me the seal was leaking around the fuel pump so he droped it the tank to put a new one on and he said he is to busy to mess wit it so he just wants to get rid of it

wvboy

so doubt he knows if its been regeared or not he seems like he is being honest

wvboy

will do suppose to go look at it on sat so if i get it ill post up some pics and let you guys see the bad and thanks for the help i talked to the owner on the phone and he sounded like a young boy he said he was in school and he didnt seem to have the knowledge to fix it he said he couldnt get the fuel pump out that it wouldnt turn he said tires are 50 % and he dont know what kind of lift but it has sky jacker shocks but will let you know more on sat

Sounds like a great price.

How did you manage to get it in the basement?

Put $1000 cash in his hand and take it home. He is practically telling you he will take less than the asking price. Even if its a piece of junk and you never get it running you can get your money back in parts. Plus look at all the fun you will have. HA

wvboy

yea i deff agree wit you on that and i done talked him down to a grand lol plus if i never get it road legal ill will atleast have nice play toy i gotta drive 6 hrs to get it but it will be well worth it i cant wait to go get it this weekend

wvboy

plus i have another cherokee the one in the pic so i could even use it for the parts for the one i already have
