Ha! That sounds like this guy took writing lessons from me! I agreed with everything that cat said-----And it is priced about right. Ain't nothing to keep that on the road for another 20 years. I know, my daily driver is an 89 Wrangler with the impossible to kill inline 6.--
On another note, ever been to Enid, Ok?. There's more action watching the corn grow. Maybe the deadness of of the environment makes you that way.--6

Sixgun--------------up to what latest production year did they build them (like that/yours)that solid with that inline 6/ good tranny/4wd system etc ??????????
If I could find a good pre 1996--------in NYS it don't require the inspection computer scan deal.
Just need one without (rust)too bad!

2006 last year for. I6 in a wrangler. Unsure about other models. A lot of purist say that was the last year of the "good" Jeeps. Opinions vary, Lotta guys like the new ones too-I personally can't afford a newer one. I'm happy as a clam with the little 2000 model wrangler I bought as a toy/hunting vehicle.
It has 183,000 miles on it and still drives like I would expect something with 40,000 miles on it to drive. Not like new, but still very solid. It has the I six also with a five speed. The five-speed gets old sometimes because I don't enjoy driving them as much as I did when I was younger but it's been reliable nonetheless
Just like the author of that craigslist ad, I also find most people who wear affliction T-shirts and stitch pocket bluejeans irritating as well. It is usually a 40-year-old dude who maybe works out once a month who has the sleeves rolled up to showcases 14 inch guns and who wears his hair spiked up in the middle.
I just want to scream at these people, "just because you like to watch MMA, It does not make you a bad Motor scooter yourself!"
Love it, I aint no salesman either, Get really tired of the DA's who want to talk price b4 coming to look at it. They want a NEW car for a less than used price Be fun to sit around the a fire and BS with him.

This.. We do a lot of local trading via FB and the young generation wants to know your "bottom dollar" right away
If you tell them you can meet and negotiate they think it's too much trouble.
They want to know how much ammo comes with it!!!NONE. I keep all my ammo because I never know what I'm gonna have next. And nowadays, the ammo is worth more than the gun.
A youngster at work and I often lament that the internet has killed the art of horse trading.

My wife had a 97 XJ. I put a small lift on it and some 31" mudders. She still misses it. Every time we pass a white XJ she mentions it.
This guy is obviously "jeep people".

I would buy it in a heartbeat if I could get a ride there from here. My Dad had one and I didn't get it. ):
That's the favored ride in the Baja zone where I hang out. Riding the rear seat over the ruts is an experience that makes riding camels seem civilized.
don't feel bad, either do i, and i'm starting to think that's a good thing... :)
P.S. -- just looked up images to see what an "affliction t shirt" looks like...
there's no way that i'm going to grace the digital pages of this fine forum
with the dumbest looking t-shirts...if you would wear that sort of t-shirt
in my back-east NY neighborhood we would have ball-batted you and your
Sainted Mother would have thanked us...YIKES... :O

We rediscovered Jeeps last year in the form as a ZJ and more recently an old XJ. Everything the guys spoke of is the truth and they're my kinda rig. Maintenance free? Heck no, but easy maintenance it is and the modifying it is cheap as you can get.
Friend put the ad on FB last week and I've spread the joy accordingly.

LOL ---- not sure if it is a "ball-battable offense" ---- but I deal with these type of guys' everyday (good grief) ---- I thought they got popular when the tv show Jersey Shore came out , so I thought it was totally an east coast thing ----- kinda like the Jersey slang for IROC-Z's (Italian Retard Out Cruisin' ) --
no offense to any Italian colleagues on this forum or otherwise -- this is just stuff I heard when I was in NY for a few months last year
Loved it and can definitely identify with this guy.
He is actually a pretty good writer and more literate than he might appear.
"-Does the 4WD work?
Hell yes. Like a Dickensian Orphan. "
His writing style kind of channels Hunter S. Thompson or maybe P.J O'Rourke

Ummmm--yeah. And Charles Dickens.
As my wife says, I know a little about a lot but not much about anything that matters.

Brent, details why not ??????????
Though every mfg. has trouble with certain production vehicles (certain years etc)usually I have found Jeep is one quality ride!
And for going in the tuff, absolute a wonder.
I must live in a different world than you guys, but I haven't seen a jeep since the 1970s that ran worth a stuff. Not to mention there is really no excuse for the poor fit and finish and ride quality of these things - even if you set aside the mechanical problems.
Some folks hate Fords, some hate GM. I guess I'm a Jeep hater - sorry.
PS. Now a WWII Jeep or Jeepster, or something in that general vintage has some possibilities for nostalgic reasons.
I have no idea why I bought the newer Jeeps as my yellow was bought new back in 89 and Rubicon sits in the garage and the wife's 4 door is nothing but a grocery getter. The in line 6 in "Ole Yeller" is pushing 200,000 hard miles and still does not burn any oil. I'll probably die with it.---6

I used to have a fairly stock '46 CJ, but had to sell it to help pay the doctor fees when my first daughter was born back in 1977. (No medical insurance in those days, but I always paid my own way!) I've always wanted another flat hood Willys CJ, but already am paying way too much CA DMV fees on the stuff I have, so it just never happened.

What is your favorite 4X4 stuff Brent?
Dude-----got to tell ya them CJ5's (they be rockin) when I had my 69 F100 shortbox (w-44" swampers)
My buddy had a New 1986 Silver CJ5 lifted at factory and fitted with 36" Dick Cepek's (w/bikini top/soft top)
The most fun vehicle I have ever been in (and man did the gals love it) more than my sky high (one fine 69)
Transferred here from Tuscon in Dec-----(it did break down first week here,in work parking lot) Did not have proper anti-freeze and smoked the engine(cracked block)----they actually put a new engine in it----from Jeep!
After that(couple weeks in shop)--------------it was all fun and that thing would go anywhere.

The 6 cylinder Jeep engine had basically been around from the early 1930's. It had been reworked and changed around but the 1930's Nash flathead six is where it all began.

Mes,
I thought you were smarter than that. You just stated that you are in Phoenix and the old Jeep is in NM. Well, while you are playing in the gold mine, I'm gonna give you the shaft and steal it. Ha! You like that one?-----------6

Did you hear about the guy who went in a bar and told the bartender he felt as though he was stupid. So....the bartender says he has these "smart pills" and would he like to take some.
Well, the pills are rabbit stuff. The guys says "sure" and gobbles a few down and exclaims that they taste like rabbit stuff. The bartender says, "see, your getting smarter already".
Ok, you don't have to spit up on the computer screen ------6
