When i saw it on You tube thought it was an upfitted Willys. I wouldn't need the adjustable leather seats, all the heated stuff but i do like the look of it. If i was shopping i would shoot for getting it in the Mid to upper $40ks no more than low $50ks.
There used to be a Hijet at a sheet metal shop near me that was lifted, bumpers, external roll cage, Roof rack, lights like a 80s monster truck the furthest i saw it go was to the taco shops nearby but it did look good a lot fancier than a golf cart. Probably could not get out of its own way...
I wonder what had happened to it before you got it. Could it have been a rebuilt wreck maybe just a lemon from the start but if that was the case it may have a history. i wonder what the service record has listed if it was taken to the dealer at all. A friend had a Cherokee years ago with all...
The only issue i can see with someone buying something like an AEV wrangler off the lot or getting one with all the aftermarket parts bolted on already as a first time off roader they mis out on the fun of learning to get yourself through trails not just steering as the vehicle does it. The...
I always park in among everyone at boat ramps, business and big parking lots. If i had anything in the cab would throw the cab cover over it usually just keep the glove box, console and seatback locked and leave the change in the cupholders. If i have any thing like tools, equipment and gear...
I do not know where they end up financially doing swaps at $30k or $50k they would not do it without making a profit so my question is how much return on their investment.
I always look back at estimating construction work, loaded labor was about $1k a day so a two week project with two guys...
It would be interesting to see what those business profit after the cost of parts design, manufacturing cost in house or purchased and shipped to them, loaded labor costs to do the installs, training employees, parts and material handling, Building costs, tools, misc. fluids, supplies...
If you want the look of them great i would not add them in an attempt to make the engine run cooler. If you modify something or tow at max weight or above and that makes it need more heat dissipation from actual temperatures being above normal operating ranges add an oil cooler, increase the...
Thanks Great adventure and account of it. I used to like when they had similar stories in the off road magazines of adventurous journeys by Jeep, Land cruiser, land rover, Nissan patrol, truck or motorcycle.
I never thought about spacers to push the bumper out that is great i do not know if it would be enough great option to try. If it does not clear it will at least reduce the amount of cut. Honestly i hate cutting anything on a newer vehicle.
Having the winch mount sandwiched in there and braced to the inside of both frame rails it seems way better to me than having it above like older mounts the only issue i could see is the skid plate blocks access once installed. I have seen where a little work with a grinder or even a hacksaw...
The best and worst thing about adding a winch and bumper is all the choices. I would get one you like the looks of. I like the full width bumpers since they keep things off the tires when needed and looked at to many options. I like the ARB bumpers but could not justify the cost. I added the...
Anywhere you go in the world you just come across people trying to live their lives they may have different languages, look different, Maybe eat different things, have different goal and standards of living but most do not have any hand in anything more than that like most of us.
I have only put the windshield down a couple times on previous wranglers to see what it takes to do it. I did not see any benefit to having it down when the roll cage still sticks up although it is easier to replace the frame if damaged. I would not miss it if it did not fold. Projecting on the...
The only thing you need the salesman to know when shopping for any vehicle is you do not have to have it and do not need to buy it but he needs to sell to earn his money.
