Do it. Bet your friend with the fab skills would chop that bed for your too. I wouldn't need to chop the bed up. I just don't need it lol. But it would be a plus.

Thanks for the heads up. What do you mean not much there? The frame all rusty? If it has not sold and has a solid frame I was going to offer them $250 and see what happends. If its a rust bucket then I am stepping away. I found quit a few in my area, I just can't get anyone to call or email back. I have a guy with a Jeep wrangler for cheap too that I am going to look at.

Thanks for the responses. I have no more details on it as they have not called me back. I found another one that looks a lot more solid but they won't call me back or email me either :fs1: I don't plan on driving it on the road, only if I had to. Which when we go wheeling at the dunes we have to drive roughly 2 miles down the road to get to the entrance.

For as much wood as I will haul it would maybe be enough to fit in the back of a rhino. I live in a woods and just need to be able to go out cut up a few down trees and bring it back. As far as having a bed? I don't need one, just a tube back half with maybe a small net type basket for wood/cooler on trips. The mud pits here are normal mud. We have a mud pit that has competitions every month or so. Its just thick goo. Not a water pit like most. So I don't think it would have gotten anything into the engine. For some reason I would rather buy a mud truck then a trail truck just knowing what we have done lol. Not to sound like a @$$ but I would like to hear from people who offroad there MJs and not care about some body damage. Looks are not that important to me as I will be tubing most I am going to take this in the woods, down trails and probably bust it up. This would be my first trail truck as I am used to quads and UTVs. My friend built his ranger and I have so much fun riding with him down the trails. I want to buy something cheap first and then if I like it maybe buy a nice rig down the road. I am looking at everything from Mjs to Ford High boys Here is a few pics of my friends truck....he is teaching me some fab skills as I only know the basics

I am new to the Jeep scene but not to off road completely. I am moving out and need a off road rig (to have fun) something to haul fire wood and possibly drive in the winter if needed (already have a truck) I am looking for something in the $500 range, something that runs and goes, but needs work. I have a tube bender, welder ect so modifications can be done easily. I found a couple MJs, and this one stands out because its close to me and cheap. Looks like it was a mud truck, which does not bother me too much. Wonder if you all could tell me what to look for, what kind of deal you think it is compared to other MJs? Are these MJs have good potential? I would like to put a D44 35s or 37s and coils under what ever I buy eventually. here is the link http://southbend.craigslist.org/cto/1454107770.html
