Old and redo stuff
Compared to the original sale, it's rough:  https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ehardlinecrawlers%2Ecom%2Fforums%2Findex%2Ephp%3Ftopic%3D34500%2E0&share_tid=34500&share_fid=32116&share_type=t

Backhalfed CJ Buggy 5.3, Built Tons, 44's

Man rigs sure get passed around like rental cars.  Anyway, I am sure I could find a lot of issues but the first thing I saw was: Chevy 60 front with those high steer arms means cracked knockles are in your future. The single shear tie rod attachment to the high steer arm is not good. The steering cyclinder is only mounted with two clamps when there is clearly room for all four. I only looked at the pics quickly but it looks like short cuts were taken, bet there are others hidden as well. That's what I would expect anyway on the hardline rigs that seem to get bought and sold every few years.
That's invaluable analysis right there. Nice!

Why are trying to get another Jeep similar to yours other than the engine? Why not change the engine and whatever else? Can't wheel them both at the same time.

I'm in, although you probably won't end up buying anything after I tell you what I see.  My wife says I am always looking at the negative side of things.

Does she tell you that in a negative way?

That's when you tell her you did that with girls too. She passed the test. Then you ask to buy something big shortly after.

Definitely don't tell her that you found a few things wrong with her but that you figured they could be fixed on the cheap.
