what are those brackets under the front bumper? was it used for snow plowing? the description is pretty vague, talk to the guy and get more info on the jeep (maintenance, lift info, any issues, interior, etc...). i think this jeep is on ebay too???

I would offer him less then what he is asking as those are quick clips for a snow plow on the front.... that is pretty hard on a full size truck, I don't want to think how bad it could be for ours.

i'd actually stay away just b/c from "most" older trucks that were used for snow plowing, usually have a good amount of rust on them. this is just my opinion tho...i'd pass.

i'd be a little apprehensive, with the plow set-up and depending on how the PO drove it while plowing, the drive train may be a little stressed out.

I would steer clear if it was used for plowing. But it does have "special tires".
