He is looking for a buggy if you want to trade. But good cash price.

we're swapping picts & details.
he wants a buggy.
I think his Jeep is spot-on what I want tho I would prefer already set w/ a cage. I'd go over it's motor - I assume the 4.0 i6 - - like a forensics lab...
it's pretty far away , too.

Get some pics of the suspension - I believe RE made radius arms for a little while for the TJ and currently only Rough Country does. They're considered inferior to a 3 or 4 link design

Good luck.
Here's another one but, he doesn't say what he'll trade for.

That's a better option, but not as good looking.

Is inferior. Arc through suspension travel is wrong, and only two bolts for attachment at the frame...one breaks and your likely effed.

Not a big deal to remove and 3 link it. 30 minutes worth of work lol.............

For sure, would just make me look more closely at what other parts were on it and their quality

30 mins? you want a job?

I believe Metal cloak still does a radius arm on their front 4 links also. They do have the lock-n-load upper link bar thought to allow the axle to fleckx. Still an inferior design IMHO
-
Isn't that Jeep in Kalifornia?
-
that is the other issue with it, yes; Kali
all the feedback on the links I noticed is appreciated.
You've confirmed /im aware of the limitations that can be involved w/ radius CAs.
As @Jeepster1407 said, MC seems the only manufacturer making any steps towards advancing the link type lately,
but I still don't think id run them. Some folks have 0 issue w them.
I will subject anything I consider under my scrutiny & your'all's as well .
I have already braced myself for the differences I'm going to have to accept in some areas, comin from a
newer model ; if it is the 'right' rig, that won't matter.
my keys criteria:
Jeep
2 seats
acceptable cage
tons
already setup for offroad use/dominance* & a reliable powerplant.
I just want to come,unload,have it startup everytime, crawl + wheel the blackNblues (safely), possibly
make the exhaust headers glow white-hot like I saw Justin do, all w/out breaking
anyting more than a sweat,load it up , tow it home , maintain it , repeat.
(edit: * that word in this context means simply not having to stand w/KK & watch every rig but mine make it over somet obstacle ever again. I guess I coulda used the term,' keep-up' instead of 'dominance', heh)
-
I think its ready to wheel right out of the box but there is room for improvements. (that's 1/2 the fun to me anyways)

fun for me for years. I love working on vehicles, especially Jeeps .
However, I dont require 4 doors & to put my JKU on tons, wheels,tires and cage is too much for me to upgrade to , all at once. I won't wait 3-4 years to get all of that. thats what got me into this.
Right now I just want to have a great weekend w/ everyone at AOP. [hungry]

Damn that’s a sweet YJ
Not sure I would pay $24k for it but something close for sure. It’s built.

I know, Chuck. I can trade but I can't touch savings for this . Wife's rule of permission. So, these are all tempting but I feel I will have good options for purchasing rig & trailer for what I can sell her for .
she passed the "test repairs ride" at GATRFest, plus drive home she tracked straight down freeway.
the trade/fr sale ad is coming in next few days .

I can say with confidence if she says, "do whatever you want", she does not mean do whatever you want.

I thought you could do whatever you want, but that doesn't mean there aren't consequences.

you all sound like you really mean these things from experience.
it's cool of y'all to provide these invaluable 'lessons learned' for me.
My key takeaways being ;
' Don't trust her for sh**..."
and
" just blame my offroad club mates for anything related to what could be perceived as a bad idea by me.."
" there's probably not consequences as long as she says it's cool. "
I think I gots it .

There will always be consequences regardless of whether or not she says its cool or ok.

I get sarcastic when nervous, but, all jokes aside, I hear whats being said.
Wife has acknowledged/said it in front of the kids ( witnesses) if that counts.
"..., it is your Jeep...the RAM is mine.Do not touch it except to tow your whatever. "
then , she finished by saying I'd have to :
1]sell the JKU first
2]If I sell ,instead of trade it, I gotta deposit at least $1k into each kid's college funds or our savings from the $ it sold for
3]then I can buy whatever I can get
Plus, she actually recommended this... after I showed her my spreadsheet w/
sums of prices for the JKU housings, wheels, tires & (ultimately) power-plant upgrades ( the Motech price list will scare anyone ), all that and then a cage, too, in B&W.
-
My wife would kill me if she knew the prices of Jeep parts
-
It's their memory and throwing it up years later that gets old.
Let me share a couple of my wife's best lines years ago
When I completely rebuilt mine..... it was
"what else can you do to make it look stupid"
After I first bought it....modified the stock bumper and
welded on a stinger bar.... she called it the "goat killer"

Whoa ..that 1st one was harsh heh
I'm sure to hear more than I am being led-to believe.
If I can get into a rig that I can learn more with & improve further/gain more crawling skill with , I will gladly deal with her insults...
_________________________________________________________________________________
Here's a question;
Jay gave me some valuable hindsight perspective the other day & I meant to ask this ;
for those who have traded or sold to move from a JKU to another Jeep what parts did you include in whatever deal you made for the 4 door which afterwards you kicked yourself for including because you'd have made a lil more $ on the return if you'd sold the part separately?
