I'm looking at an '05 LJ with just under 100k miles, 6 cyl, auto, hardtop. They are asking 14k, KBB says 10-11k but I know it is going to draw a little more since it is an LJ. Does this sound like a reasonable deal? I don't want to low ball him but was considering making an offer around 12k.


That sounds like a heck of a good deal at $14k barring any issues with mechanic inspection and carfax report, especially with a hardtop. How long has it been up? I think you'd be safe at 12k offer, just keep in mind they probably won't budge. If I was selling that I'd list it for $16k.

For instance, K Bo listed his on CL at $20k with 70k miles, but it is a manual which seem to garner more attention. He will probably get at least $17k from a Jeep enthusiast.

I sold my 04 TJ with 85k miles for $14.5k about 2 years ago for reference.
It is not posted for sale anywhere yet. The guy is offering me first dibs before posting it publicly.

Seems like a really good deal so long as everything checks out. Like Corps_Ag said mine is listed for sale at a number that would make me ecstatic to sell. It's a 6spd with just over 69k mi and silly clean so I would expect [hope] it to carry a little premium.

This thing hasn't been bumped in a while, let's do it.

Installed a Rock Krawler 2.5" lift and 37" Ridge Grapplers on the heep, and then removed the top and threw on a spider shade. Next to get rid of the stock wheels and tires and fund a rear bumper with tire carrier and a winch for the front.





Also if anyone is interested, the Racor/Topsy lift combo for the hard top is pretty good. Excuse the messy garage, we just moved in a couple of months ago and I haven't gotten it organized yet, almost killed me this weekend.

I'm considering a Jeep Wrangler in the future and I stumbled across this video.

Not only is this gal pretty attractive and appears to be knowledgeable, she's a Texas Aggie. And at the 4:24 mark you can see that she's got her ring on backwards

I think that was their shtick, beat the **** out of a JL Rubicon as stock as it will go and become a youtube sensation?

Aftermarket bolt-ons are available there as you know, a mod that is worth every penny in many cases... as a friend told me....

Pulled the TJ out of the garage yesterday to run a few errands, have put a whopping 285 miles on her since last oil change in Feb... hopefully with temps falling I will add a few more...

Warning, she's a bit dusty.

Unfortunately, yeah. She's great but does admittedly sit more than I would like... Nice to have an '06 with only 23k miles but she isn't intended to only be a garage queen... with that said, she won't get wheeled for real until I upgrade front axle, get lockers, change fenders and adjust the suspension a bit...

In the meantime, she gets a bath.

You know with a Jeep you're supposed to break it before you replace it, right?

Neglected YJ. Need to get it ready for a December trip.




Picked up this TJ off the list a few months back for cheap as it was not running. I took out the very old aftermarket alarm and it fired right up. Its a 97, 4.0 with 180k. Last weekend I replaced the cracked exhaust manifold and did a basic tuneup. Also found some very cheap JK wheels on CL. $100 for all 5. First time using spacers/adapters, so will see how that goes.


Mocked up waiting on adapters

Yeah, but at this point in my life I am okay building before it breaks...

Of course. Hopefully the A&A is still open by then. Sounds like they may be closing.
