Still salvage.
Bent and all that....stay away.
Vehicals are not the same once they get hit.
Not to mention the cost of fixing it......not worth it.
Thanks for the tip I will would a blown engine be better?
My first Jeep was a salvage 88 YJ, it was stolen in NY and found 3 months later upside down in the NJ Pinebarrens. There was a lot of body damage, the t-case housing was shattered, lots of other small stuff but the frame was straight so it was fixable. That's the biggie, everything else bolts up. I drove it all through college and even moved here from Miami with it, had it for years.
After I sold it and got my LJ I realized it's a lot more fun to make payments on something good and go wheeling than to wrench on a project and spend money on parts. If you think you'll average $500.00 a month or so on rebuilding a project, consider making payments on a new one instead. No smells, no squeaks, everything working, turn the key and go is simply awesome. Just my 2c.
Thanks for the Input Paul I went looked bodys today its just going to be work for me but I kinda want that. I really wanna build its this time so the less mods to it the better

That is interesting indeed! High maintenance, but interesting.

The Lost Boys motto: We don't know where we're going, but we'll be there for awhile. :)
That's the way to do it for low end power and light weight - smaller motor... super'd!!!
According to NADA, it's actually right in line.
that winch has seen a lot of use, and it's got the SC on it, I'd do a big inspection or just pass and look for something more stock. I'd guess they did a return-to-stock before selling it, there was possibly a lift/ tires that were removed, that's common. It is pretty!!
What kind of maintenance is required? What questions should I ask? I was going too call them too an see
I was going to offer 15k
I like to think I know what I'm doing with a wrench, but personally I'd bring it to a real mechanic for a proper inspection just because of the mods. $100.00 now could save you a couple of headaches down the road, and you can see so much more on a lift than on your back.
The supercharged engine will need to be maintained religiously.
The oil cools and lubes the charger.
The caharger will also put more stress on the engine.
112k miles....when did the charger go on?
Will the seller let you take an engine oil sample to have tested?
The test will show how well the engine is doing.....how much of the babett metals are coming off the bearings...
So much to consider with a super charged engine.
How was trans maintained.
Super'd engine makes more heat....heat bad for auto trans....
Its a 6spd
Ok many tranny still has aclutch so how bad is it been burnt.....did they upgrade to a dual disk?
Lots to know about with a supercharger.
They are not as fuel efficient as well. So the low teens are now 9 -10mpg
