WahooSteeler Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Looks super nice but AFTER you drop $25k on this you still need a transfer case and driveshafts to complete the 4x4 setup. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/517558335602569/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO413 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 You would think for $25K it would be running and driving along with painting the engine compartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheDog Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I think it runs and drives, it just needs a new transmission that will accept a transfer case, a transfer case, transfer case shifter and some driveshafts. Not just a transfer case and driveshafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMO413 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I get that. But at $25K I would be expecting to put in gas and drive. Not wrench on it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Hell, for $25k I'd want to be able to pick it up and go enter it in a car show. And win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing, especially the no paint in the engine compartment when its bare. Makes you wonder other half steps were taken during the build.

JMO413 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I really just don't get it. They had the engine out why wouldn't you paint the engine compartment. I mean $10 in spray paint and it would look so much better. Another $10 in wire loom and it would look even better. I would guess if you tried you could find allot of things that could be done better. I would really like to know what they actually get for it. That is if they ever sell it.

Pete M Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 is this one of those times where the wife says "you'd better sell that money suckin' Jeep", and so you throw out a huge price tag so you don't actually have to get rid of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHMJXJ Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Definitely an "I don't want to sell it, but if you're dumb enough I'll take your money" price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghetdjc320 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Everyone wants to buy low and sell high. Not sure why people are gawking at prices though. The market is driving up MJ prices in general and THAT’S A GOOD THING If you own one. Most of these trucks are 30+ years old and long past depreciation. Plus they are semi rare and many have unfortunately been destroyed over the years. As for this mj, it probably took a lot of money to get it to where it is. Sometimes people just get fed up with their projects and need to try to recoup some of their investment. Just my $.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were completed, running, and driving, you might be able to make an outside edge case to support a price that he's asking. But it's not. It's incomplete. It needs major components to be installed before you can drive it. And only after you do that will you find out what's wrong with some of the other stuff he's done. The most expensive Jeeps I've ever had were other people's half finished projects I picked up for "cheap". It's likely he's trying to get the dollar value of what he spent on parts back out, which will never happen in a million years. Either that or he's setting the price so high that no one will buy it because he doesn't really want to sell. Sure, a really pristine resto-mod with all the goodies may be worth what's he's asking for all the reasons you talk about. But his is nowhere near that.
