Scored a roll bar for free, and the Jeep attached to it.

[Comanche County]

So I finally scored a Ramsey PTO for my CJ3A, it was way over in East Texas... Now on the way over to get the PTO, I was cruising along at 70 mph and my Jeeper's Spidey senses started to tingle, then immediately off on a side road I spotted an MJ with a factory roll bar. I stopped and chatted with the fellow for a while, we hit it off,,,and to make a long story short, he gave me the truck for free. I insisted that I pay him something for it but he was adamant, and I eventually agreed to take it. I went and got a Uhaul car dolly and came back and loaded it up...I did at least pay him a 6-pack of Guinness.

 

 

The funny thing is, he said it had sat there for three years and no one had ever asked about it. But 20 minutes before I pulled up, he said someone else had just stopped by and looked at it and ironically, it was my good friend, the one we all know and love, otherwise known as "Backdraft". Here's our conversation.....(warning: quoted statements are not guaranteed to be entirely accurate).

 

After I went and picked up the PTO, I got a text from Mike, saying, "Hey dude, I just found an MJ with a factory rollbar on Hwy 79".

 

I replied, "yeah, is the this the blue one, 2wd, missing a tailgate, bad door hinges, runs decent, and has a roll bar"

 

Mike: "yeah, you've been out this way?"

 

Me: "yup, I just talked to the guy, he just gave it to me"

 

Mike: "what?"

 

Me: "Yeah, he gave it to me"

 

Mike: "You're kidding me, he told me 500 bones"

 

Me: "Nope, he gave it to me"

 

Mike: "No way!"

 

Me: "Yeah, He gave it to me"

 

Mike: "What the heck?"

 

Me: "That's right loser, He gave it to me!!!!"

 

Mike: "No way!"

 

Me: "Yup, its mine. Towing it home now! What'dya think of that? HAHAHAHA!"

 

 

Mike: "You suck!"

 

Me: "Ha Ha!"

 

Then in a completely uncalled for fashion, he sends me this..

Mike: "You're a jerk!"

 

Me: "Yup, he just up and gave it to me!, what do you think about that?"

 

Mike: "You're a (@$& ^@#*__$#"

 

Me: "Yup, I sure am, but I've got a free MJ and you don't! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

 

Me: "Hey Mike, just got it to the house, check it out!!!!

 

Mike: No more replies.....

Sooo much win :rotf:

[Backdraft]

Wow! I don't remember the conversation going quite that way. However, I do recall a lot of condescension and heartless ridicule! Of course you said you were paraphrasing more or less. ;) I still can't believe he gave it to you free after quoting me 500 for it. And that was after he quoted me 560 for some steering work on a trailblazer. I guess I had "sucker" tattooed on my forehead that day...LOL. And for those of you who are reading this, the guy that charged me and gave it to Jay......I've known that cat since I was a little boy!!! Oh well. I'm just glad it found a good home instead of sitting there rusting away. At the very least it can be a good organ donor.

 

As they say, "all's fair in love and war". So Jay, it seems you won that round. Well played sir. :cheers: (I think you owe me a few beers now)

 

Comanche County FTW!!!

First time I've ever seen an XJ with a pickup bed and roll bar.....

 

Definitely good score for spare parts alone or whatever the future plans involve.

[Dadinator]

That's what I was thinkin'.

 

It's an MJ, man. Not a XJ.

[kawaboy13]

It is changing our words to XJ? :dunno:

[ComancheKid45]

Nice score for sure! :cheers:

 

As for the spelling issues....think about what the date is and your questions will be answered ;) :rotf:

[ride172]

I may be exaggerating for entertainment purposes on everything except the price.

Brother Rob is up to his old tricks again. :thumbsup:

[SW86]

$#!& the roll bar looks brand new and in a truck that doesnt. :dunno:

[Comanche County]

Someone added it on, but it's missing the frame tie in brackets. Probably not original to the truck, it was also installed with normal hex fasteners instead of Torx bolts.
