I have ALL records/repair orders/receipts for the above work. I know that I’m forgetting a few things, additional misc. small items under my ownership not included above.
I’ve driven this Jeep to Fort Lauderdale and back as well as LA from the bay area and back when I was still living in CA. She is bulletproof and will take you where you want to go. A very capable off road vehicle.
Responsibly adult owned, never abused or neglected. I tend to spend too much on vehicle projects as I did with this one. I did go totally overboard on this Jeep, perfecting it and I won't recoup the thousands I’ve put into it. But that’s the way the car hobby is.
I’m selling this Jeep to purchase an E34 M5. I’ve restored a handful of old BMW’s and I miss it. So I’ve decided it’s time start another classic BMW build and part ways with the TJ.
Pre-purchase inspections welcome.
Car is located in Wilmington, North Carolina. Holds a clean NC title in my name.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions about my Jeep and I'm happy to talk with you about it.
Asking $17,000
