My go-to is https://boltdepot.com/

Even the JK and JL do that.

I know that slope too well. I'm already well down towards the bottom. I have my two other MJ projects to go crazy with. I wanted this one specifically to keep as a mild Jeep.

I was keeping an eye on craigslist and this popped up for a reasonable price and I snagged it. The paint is shot and there are some mechanical issues but it's basically straight and it runs. The hard top is in decent shape, as are the factory doors. I need to fix some of the seals though. 258 L6, Tremec T176 4 speed manual, Dana 300 transfer case. Front Dana 30 and rear AMC 20. It looks to have a mild lift kit, maybe 2" or so. 31x10.50 tires. I'm not going to mod it much. First round will be some basic maintenance and getting it to pass emissions. The "big" tires don't play well with what I believe is 2.73 axle gears so I'll probably step up a bit there. Probably throw a trueteac or two in while I'm there. I have an old Warn 8274 winch that will go on. And I'll likely swap out the janky bumpers that are on it now. It will eventually get a full repaint as the clear coat is shot. This is going to be a fun weekend driver for mild trails. I may even find a soft top and doors for summer driving.

These are long since out of production. But I always liked the looks of them. I'd like to have one for one of my my projects. I'm in the Denver area and I'm willing to pay shipping if it's reasonable. I do some trips around the country from time to time and can arrange to pick it up. Let me know what you have.

No. That's not Okay. I would send them back.

Have to join the group to see the listing, unfortunately.

Yeah, if you buy and sell a lot on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace, or anywhere like that, it helps to have a venmo account. PayPal too. There's probably a few more as new ones come up from time to time. But those are the two biggest.

I know my mother and both of my sisters have something like this. It's a box that plugs into a cable modem/router internet connection somewhere in the house and then ties into the phone lines already in the house. The old copper phone company feed has to be disconnected at the box coming into the house. But it works like a regular old style home phone and they like it. I'll have to ask what brand they have. I've been cell phone only for about 15 years now and have been happy with it.

If you could turn the MJ around quick, what would make it worthwhile? Or if someone bought straight from him so he had the cash, how much would it take?

Something is worn more than you think it is. There should be zero play in all 4 steering joints. None. If there is any at all, it's enough to induce vibration. Same with ball joints. Any play leads to vibration. Even play that's hard to see. Same with control arm and track bar bushings. Worn bushings can contribute to vibration. Could be all of it together. Each part by itself may not be bad but all together, there's enough slop to cause issues. If you haven't changed parts in 20 years, they're probably overdue.

I agree that a detailed description of the vibration would help. Since you have had the tires balanced, that's likely not the issue. Things to check: 1. Ball joints. Get the tires off the ground and really move the tires around. Use a pry bar if you need to. 2. Steering components, specifically tierod ends. At the steering box, at the joint where the two sides meet, and out at the knuckles. Check that the nuts are tight and there is no excessive play in the joints. 3. Bushings. All 4 control arms and the track bar. Check bolts are torqued to spec and that bushings aren't worn. 4. Steering stabilizer. It doesn't hurt to have a fresh one if it's worn, but it won't cause or solve vibration by itself

HP quality isn't fantastic. Don't know about Lenovo.

I have questions...

I might know someone.

They had an issue, at least for a while, during Covid. Excessive runout keeping you from getting a consistent pattern. Don't know if they've sorted it out or not.
