good price for jeep?
i already have a '96 3 inch lift 31 inch tires xj that i paid 5900 for in november (i know kinda high but xj are expensive around here) and i was just looking through craigslist to see if there was anything else out there and found this: http://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/2888292036.html
is that a good price? thanks, joma |
sounds like it's a better deal than the first one you bought. still I say pass and buy a stocker and build it yourself

the only reason people will tell you to build your own is because 9 out of 10 times the 'built' ones on craigslist were built like crap and someone is just trying to dump their garbage on you rustys sucks anyway if the guy had regeared or locked it I'd say take a look |

no trust me i love working on the jeep. ive done all the work since i got it. the only reason i could afford the 6000 dollar jeep is that my parents put 5000 towards and ive been paying them off the rest of it slowly. i can also only work summers and some weekends because of school and sports so i dont have a lot of money to put into the jeep which is why i was looking into an already built jeep.

I'd save the money and spend it on upgrades for your 96. just my .02
you never know tho you can always go take a look. I dont get a great feeling about it |
true. and i doubt my dad would even let me go see it lol.
|
reason I wouldnt buy one like that, already modded out, is that you dont know what kind of wheeler he was. Did he baby his rig(not likely) or did he dog it to death, with a "hell or high water" attitude.
Before I bought it, I would ask him to let me ride along while he wheeled it. |
quick question: i already have rustys 3 inch lift (all new leaf one) that is just over a year old so the leaf springs are still very stiff. i could i get the 4.5 inch AAL and add it onto the 3 inch springs to go up to 4.5 or will this put me over 4.5? would a t-case drop be sufficient in this case?

And to your second question: with yours being a 96, anything over about 4 would prolly need a SYE. |
yeah people should live by this rule I just made up
4 inch high, need a SYE |

is that a good price? thanks, joma I bought mine with a 4.5" lift on it and since than I have completely replaced my whole suspension. Buy a stock one and DIY... It might actually be cheaper if you peice a lift together. |
