Im extremely hesitant on this....seems to be underpriced considering most will want a pretty penny for their custom add ons. Looks to be in good shape, i would just be weary of underlying issues that the owner cant solve and they are just trying to unload a project. A lot of custom work thats been done that could have been done improperly and is causing some hidden issues only the owner knows about.
thats the skeptic in me lol...of course this could be a steal. Just look it over REALLY good.

That does seem a bit cheap for whats been done to it. Around here atlest, it would go for 3500-4k easily.
No ac? No worries. Its got a 460. All 4 windows down at 60mph.

He was telling me he’s needing a down payment on a new vehicle so hence why he’s not trying to get a bunch of money back on mods. I know the 4.0 straight 6 is really reliable. Definitely more reliable than the 8 cylinder HO in my wj that dropped a valve lmao

Good on you. First thing take it by a shop and have the tires spin balanced and check the rims to see if they are true and not bent, and the tires for separations or flat spots.
This is where to start with your shake... These particular issues always seem to pop up at 50 MPH.

You don't want to do a whole bunch of suspension work just to find out it was just a tire or rim. In the order of diagnosing a shake it is always wise to start with what is "touching the ground" first. It drives me crazy that everyone does it backwards. After a year of dumping money into their suspension it turns to just be a tire, rim or wheel bearing. I have been watching it happen here over and over for several years now. lol
