BAD ASS YJ WANTS TO TRADE FOR YOUR JKU
« on: September 05, 2018, 02:47:01 PM »
I've been talking to this fella for a few years, and @clark123456 bought some cheata tars from him.  He wants to trade for a JKU.  This rig is badass and I would love to have it but I've decided it's not exactly what I want.  I would have to put a CJ/TJ grill on it lol.

The build list is AWESOME!  over $60,000 invested!  SO WHY HASN'T IT SOLD?  5 lug hubs?  Would be awesome as a leave it at @jc79 JC's MO/CO rig... street legal, tagged and insured, full hydro can be challenging.

Custom BlueTorch One Ton V8 Jeep Buggy Crawler
Jeep was built by Dan Dubose and Rob Parks. I had kids during the build and never got back into riding so its in like new condition. It is for sale or trade but would prefer to trade for a JKU. I will also trade up for very built JKUs. Jeep has a clear title and I have it tagged and insured to drive on the road.

Would need a steering box, linkage, and possibly limit front travel. (Assuming there's still a place to mount a stock steering box)

5 lug hubs? 
Rear 60 not big enough, should be a 14b?

That's the biggest problem for me.  Not a red vehicle fan...

The rear 60 would not scare me as long as it is a 35 spline. Most are not. The hubs could be hurting it. Lots of older builds liked the 5 lug stuff. Now they are snapping the studs often. The engine kills it for me. I would say that is why it has not sold. Along with the 700r4 hurts it.

It’s worth a drive to go see it.  Could be location. Hell, I’m tempted. Could do a 14b anytime. Most drag cars have 5 lugs, not sure why that is a concert. Walker Evan wheels should hold up. Hell, I’m really tempted.
