Hello all, I'm Stephen and I am 23. I'm in the process of buying my first jeep, I'm glad I chose the MJ. I'm paying 500 for it. I don't know the year I was just a little flustered when the guy told me only 500. It's the 6 cyl 4x4 with a 5 speed. It has a camper top on it right now. I have pictures I'll post them tomorrow.
It only needs a couple of tires aired up to be able to drive. I'm really stoked on it. I was originally looking for a Datsun, I had an 84 Datsun pick up last summer but the girlfriend at the time made me sell it. I went through a few cars and they just couldn't fill the void from having a truck then having to get rid of it. So I'm glad to be joining the jeeping community.
I have to wait like 4 weeks until I get the keys and title which is really bumming me out. But I'm buying it off and elderly fellow who has I think had it since new I'll have to ask him more about it this weekend. Good thing is it's sitting in my moms yard at her new place so I know it's safe.
My plans for it are to make sure it's going to be dependable (it's going to be my DD). Get some wheels for it, some tires, and paint. I want to do a suspension lift but I don't see myself doing anything too extreme in it for awhile. I will go mudding with my friends who have 4x4's but nothing like rock crawling for a few years maybe. I do want a winch plate bumper, and I would love to find a snorkel but I haven't been able to find any online. I may not of looked hard enough. But if anyone has any pointers I would love the input.
OH yeah, it's grey and the only body damage is the twisted rear bumper. How do you know what sub model it is? I know mine has chrome bumpers and that's really the only difference I see from most pictures I've seen.
Thanks.
