ignition switch and tumbler
starter solenoid
clutch linkage
battery
stabilizer shock
tires
full tune-up
many other small things too numerous to list
The body has a few minor dings and dents, though there is no rust-through or rot, and the tub and frame are also free of serious rust and rot. The chassis is straight. The engine runs great and has no major mechanical issues. All gauges and lights work except the headlights. This Jeep is totally street legal; I have used it as a daily driver and it gets about 10 mpg. Please note that I have not used it off-road so I cant say how it handles under those conditions. On-road its pretty tight at lower speeds, with no bump-steer or wobble, but at higher speeds (55 on up) it has lots of sway and float, and requires a sure / experienced hand to manage it safely. Let me repeat that for the cheap seats: YOU NEED TO HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH NON-STOCK JEEPS / LIFTED TRUCKS TO HANDLE THIS RIG.
I have a clear title in my name. The registraton is current through November and the inspection though December. Please contact me with any questions or for additional photos. |
