unless you gey it for cheap, i wouldnt buy someone elses project unless i kbow for sure everyrhing was done properly. Long arm and 35s? May have been abused. Rusted out? No thank you.

nobody can really tell you. Pictures help a ton. But if the rockers are gone there has to be rust elsewhere...me personally, i'm not one to buy heavily modified jeeps..3 inch lift and a couple other things ok. But long arms and 35s? Eh. Did they change the gearing? Lockers? Too many variables for me.

Go back and take a million pictures and post them.
My word of warning though, people rarely sell their project Jeeps when they're working properly and are fun to drive. They sell them when they're screwed up from poor decisions during the build, or because many of the components are nearing end of life, and it is costing them a ton of time and money and not fun or reliable to drive. That said, there is some gems out there.
