Hey guys, most of you will remember me. Its Ben. the guy that owned the infamous "YJ Rubicon" well, selling the Jeep and getting the golf has worked out. life is good. and im in the market for a new jeep.
id like to get something older. id like to get my hands on any of the following, if anybody knows of one, thatd be great. only condition is its gotta be a 6cyl. 5spd YJ, CJ, XJ, MJ or a wagoneer. Im having a rough time finding one. i want something reliable. (i know, its a jeep, so it will be reliable, but you know what i mean) anything jeep would be good. im not fussy. but its gotta last me. so not too high mileage. My total budget is 12K. but for the jeep. id like to get the jeep for 7 or less. the more i save on the jeep, the more for the mods.
so i'll prolly get a stocker. which means i'll need prices. how much am i looking at? i'll list what i need.
First a Jeep.
next, Tires, im thinking MTR's or the club deal on BFG's. how much? im thinking 33's.
which means lift. how much lift do i need to clear 33's? how much will this cost me.
i wants to get me some liting. at least fog lites, but i want some hella's too. how much do hellas cost?
rocker panels, i did this myself last time, got it covered.
Im'a need me a trailer hitch. whats the going rate. its gotta haul an ATV. (shoulda held on to the bumper i got craig to build me 4 weeks before i sold the YJ...)
Gonna need some tow points. how much?
gonna need some shocks, forget how much my BDS cost me last time. any ideas?
SYE, if i get lift, im prolly gonna need one of these, craig, how much you guys charging now?
a snorkel would be nice if i can fit it in the budget.... whats one of these running these days?
Whats the best deal on a cb and 5ft antenna, with cable and mounting bracket? (thick firestick style)
How much is a decent exhaust gonna run me?
Have fun, Thanks for the help. hope to get this ball rolling ASAP! cant wait to get back on the trails!
Cheers,
-Ben
