Building my daily driver tj

gottagofast · Mar 7, 2017

The goal is a TJ with a 4.0, auto, full doors, hard top, cruise, and a/c... under $10k also it can't be green lol

I keep almost finding one but there is always something wrong, or it's out of state and I can't act fast enough.

Been looking on c/l mostly....

I'm west of Atlanta and don't know the area..... anyone local know which log I need to look under?

I saw one on the side of the hwy yesterday that appeared to match most of your list, but not sure on the engine though for $8,600. It was about 30 minutes north of Birmingham though. I can get you the number if you are interested. I did a quick search on our local craigslist and couldn't find it listed though.

Shoot yeah... I just made a 5 hr round trip to Cullman yesterday for one that didn't pan out so if you can scope it for me that would be great.

Yep, that's it. It's not there today....may be cause it's raining today. It's a nice looking gold/pewter color.

Re: Why the heck can't I find my next jeep?

This is the one I was thinking of....they might would come down to 10k

Re: Why the heck can't I find my next jeep?

Wasn't that one.... i'd consider a soft top if it was a cheaper...
Really wanting to stay under 10k including a hard top.

I missed a really nice apex edition with 121k miles for 7k a couple weeks ago

Re: Why the heck can't I find my next jeep?

I gotcha, I'll keep my eye out.....I'm on the road alot.

I seen where you commented on the one that bdrake has for sale on here....is it the wheels that's the biggest deal breaker on that one?

gottagofast · Mar 7, 2017

Re: Why the heck can't I find my next jeep?

That's the one I looked at.... I don't wanna run it down here but no the wheels weren't the deal breaker.

I appreciate it.... i've even considered a jk too but haven't driven one yet... not sure if I'd like one or not

Re: Why the heck can't I find my next jeep?

I work for a used car dealer. He mainly deals in jeeps. We have a 99 tj 6cyl, 3speed automatic, ac, cruise 152k(i think). Has full hard doors and a torn soft top currently but Will have a good top before purchased, have a hardtop on another jeep. It is purple colored (like barney). We had the frame pulled, new hood, and driver fender. We just got it in the shop today replacing airbags and starting cleanup. Probably be a week or 2 before we get it inspected, having trouble getting airbag light to go off. Im in the Corinth Mississippi (38834) area, cant get whatever pics and info you want. Pm me if you are interested.

Re: Why the heck can't I find my next jeep?

Thx.... Prolly not into purple lol.... a wrecked one would have to be pretty cheap but I guess if it was fixed right it would possibly be ok...
Sure would love to find something within an hour or so if Whitesburg or villa rica ga....

I'm working 90 hrs a week and driving another 20+.... doesn't leave much free time.
