I was working on wife's 98 Wrangler a couple months ago, and I noticed it's gettin a bit too rusty for my liking. Wranglers are rot buckets here in Rustbeltville especially TJ's. The frames and tubs rot out like crazy. Chrysler musta dug up all the 70's AMC metal they could find to build them. Welp.. after that the search was on for a replacement vehicle. I looked at 4x4 Chebby 1/2 tons.. Everything I found has an assload of miles, rust, and high prices. So I started looking at XJ Cherokees.. Same gig, miles, rust, prices. I looked for about 2 months and I finally found a good candidate in Dayton Ohio on Craigslist about a week ago. I asked for some undercarriage pics and talked to the owner for a while. It's a clean Kentucky Jeep with tall miles (191k), but everything works, including the AC.. So.... I went down and picked it up today. I'm 4hrs north of Dayton. It took a days worth of driving, and a little over 3k in cash, but it made the 250 mile trek to my driveway.
Now if I could just get my wife to stop being so damn bitchy...
I'll post more pics later this week. This thing is pretty damn clean..
