Short wheelbase is great for off road but twitchy on the highway. If you are interested in the Jeep but not the engine/trans offer him 2,000.00 and see what he says. Have fun. |
10 wires? That's great and its about how high I can count. I wouldn't screw that up then. I can't do that to him, offer him 2k. Even if I decided to not use the V8, I will still pay him what he wants. its the thing to do. He's a pretty cool funky old dude. I know they are super simple, but I have no experience with it especially the drive line. I had a YJ, four banger when they first came out. Its drives ok on the hwy. I am ok with that if it drives similar at speed. Just need to get to the trails but for us here in Lala land, it will take some driving on the hwy.
