It comes down to what you want to get. Maybe the lift and winch are selling points to you. Also depends on how much work you want to do on it. Finally, how much do you like/use your banshee roller?
Even Done wrong it still saves me money from buying a lift and doing it right. Can always fix it. I already have a set of tires I got for a good price sitting here. Couldn't pass them up. Lol. As for rust I though the same but I can try to brace it as much as possible. Looks like just rockers from the pics. I'm emailing him and he said a line. This doesn't bother me very bad even If it's the pump. Also have a cheap parts jeep lined up. I kind of need a winch around here because the people I wheel with are always stuck trying to pull each other out. Would be a huge help for me. As for my banshee, it was my pride and joy. Build it from the ground up and spent tons making it just how I want it. But I'm turning 18 and need to get something a little more practical at the moment. I plan on building another banshee (already built up a secret stash of parts) so it doesn't hurt too had getting rid of it.

You need to drive them both. If the higher mileage one runs better and has fewer mechanical problems, you're going to spend less in the long run. You could sell your banshee for cash and use that to buy a budget lift. 500 for a jeep plus 500 or so for a lift is cheaper than 1300. Besides, it also looks like the 1300 one has alignment issues as well. Drivers wheel is kicked out on top. Never know how long he's been driving it like that. Almost always better to start stock and work up from there so that you don't have to chase around bugs while you're trying to upgrade stuff. I started stock and I'm glad I did. I get to learn every nut and bolt, where all of my problem areas are.

I did decide to get the cheaper one. Still saving up money for it but in close.

Picking it up tonight. One thing the lady said is that it stalls when you hit a big bump, but starts right back up. Anybody have any ideas on what that might be from? I'm assuming a loose connection but what connections could cause it to stall?
