surprisingly not too much just yet, but I haven't really taken much apart yet. so far a viper remote starter that kept trying to start the jeep every minute until i disconnected it, the rear view mirror in the center console, the center console lid broken, and i kicked the rear bumper and one of those magnetic spare key holders fell on the ground with some dirt, and after i smashed it open with a hammer ended up getting a spare key out of it, so that wasn't too bad.

haha i love this posting! in EVERY vehicle ive owned to date, ive found bullet casings or actual rounds themselves. recent jeep (the xj) ive found $275 money clip, a clip with 9 bullets (9mm) under the passenger seat, about $20 in change under the rear seats, an used fire extinguisher under the hood (?????), a mouse that had made a home under the rear seat (dinner was tasty that night btw) and an assortment of problems... i used the $ to get the rig detailed, gas, oil changed and tune up...

The A/C was hotwired to the alternator and only blew hot air.
The drivers seat was cut in half.
A giant hole in the muffler.
The headliner was touching my head and had a hole where they took out the cab light out.

Other than that it was awesome.

no suprises from the previous owner... but i actually welded my rear shocks in after trying to drill and tap... and breaking the CARBIDE taps off in the hole and there is just no drilling those out. so welding was the next best option! and just about every thing i have wired in it is done with one color.
