It may be worth it if you plan on spending $10,000 on offroading upgrades on a stock Jeep you buy for $3000.

The first one i see 5k max and a 4 door 5 speed is not rare.The 2nd one hes smoking something.And the 4 point harness in it are not dot approved and with out mounting them to a harness bar will crush your back in a wreck.

It's a very clean jeep. It's not for off road and probably never been off road.

If it's your dream jeep and you don't plan on hard wheeling then what the heck. Probably won't find a cleaner jeep.

6500 may be worth it if it's 100% rtr. Could save you time and money just buying it compared to building.

Maybe so. But i looked everywhere I knew to look for three months. I am very glad I did not find one. But that isn't the point.

Would I buy this jeep? No. Because I wheel hard. Would be a complete waste of money for me.

However if someone has a jeep in mind, not into hard wheeling and this jeep fits the bill. It's a very clean jeep. Has about everything and may save a person a lot of time and money if they are not going to change much.

A clean stocker fetches more than $3k in Cali, certainly worth more than that!

$7500 for stock gears on 33s? lolno. That ain't "Professionally Built", that's "paid someone else to install things. Notice new clutch is NOT on the list... it's gonna need one.
