I test drove it and it was my first taste of a real rig.
the engine smelled bad and it wont pass smog
the ride is really rough and loud
but for the price and parts, I kinda want it

good:
its got the 8.8
the rims I want
SYE and lift with all the work done

bad:
I really wanted to build my own rig
I need a DD and this thing wont pass smog and needs tires
the tires have no tred
4 cylinder
not the ax15 transmission
200k on it

Pass. Wheels are cheap so buy them new if you want them. Only good thing on it is the SYE.

speedballin

Agreed, pass

Atmos

the things in damn bad shape. said he'd take 15 for it. I'm just having no luck finding a beat up stocker with the specs that I prefer. I'm running out of patience and this is starting to look like a pretty quick and easy toy

That is a huge POS, run away from it and don't look back. You should get a tetanus shot after driving that thing. You will spend 2 grand at the minimum to get that thing road worthy. Keep shopping.

i wouldent give what they r asking maybe half of that

Atmos

thanks all, for talking me out of it. I really want to build my own anyway. I'll try to be patient. oh and if anyone was wondering what was written on the side of the doors in white. its Strega Nera. I'm pretty sure its italian for black witch.

Atmos

haha tetanus shot. yeah that guy was really eager to get rid of it.
said he needed money to go to school (community college). but come on. did you see the garage in that one photo?
mommy and daddy are loaded. hes just trying to dump his mess on some poor sap who doesnt know much about OHV's yet (me).

99 Purple XJ

Please dont buy it that things a hoop d

Atmos

I wonder what they were thinking when they fabricated that stinger...

mr white

4 cylinder??? LOL offer him $500 then buy a nice body and swap all the parts over. PUt the stock ones back on that piece and unload it for $1k.

EDIT: It has the 4 liter badge on it...

Atmos

that was the original plan. lift, axle, gears, tach, sound system, rims, SYE. I wanted it just for the parts. if he wouldve taken my 1200 offer I might be driving that right now..
I know I noticed the 4.0L badge... that thing was a mess.

mr white

Even $1200 is too much just for the parts. You could probably get all those parts new, minus the wheels/tires for $1200.

Atmos

WAS the original plan. not anymore. thanks for the feedback everyone
