  1. So I'm thinking about putting the Jeep up for sale. With the way prices are now, I'm not really sure on what to ask, so was thinking about listing it for $9,000 and go from there. 2005 Jeep TJ Rubicon 208,000ish km on it 5x 35" General Grabber X3 tires (lots of life left!) 3.5" RockKrawler Triple Rate front springs 4" Rough Country Rear Springs 1.25" Body lift Fox 2.0 Steering Damper Stock JK rear shocks with shock relocators Rough Country belly up skid plate Warn Engine/Trans skid plate JKS adjustable front trackbar Extended rear sway bar links Rugged Ridge steering box skid Ford Windstar cowl intake Black Widow Gear front and rear tube fenders Hand throttle Mesh top Viair onboard air system Insta-Trunk Bestop HighRock Tailgate carrier (comes with new brackets to mount it inside as well) The below are all pretty new with very few miles on them. Rancho RS5000X front shocks RockKrawler double adjustable rear upper arms RockKrawler adjustable rear lower arms RockJock Antirock Front Sway Bar Rubicon Express double cardan rear drive shaft Rough Country adjustable rear trackbar (not yet installed) New passenger side floor pan (not yet installed) The frame is in excellent shape, and the tub is good except for a couple of spots on the rear passenger side by the tailgate hinges (should be looked over as I haven't looked at it much in the past two years). The drivers side floor pan had rust around one of the drain holes, but was patched. Both locker pumps work, though the rear locker is not engaging, and I haven't tore into it to figure out why. I have no intentions of the Warn M8274 going with it, but might include it for the right price. With the crazy prices of Jeeps now, I'm just guessing for a listing price for this. The Jeep isn't perfect (it is an 05 that was used in the woods), but works and runs well. Only thinking about selling as it hasn't been used much in the past couple of years, and I'm enjoying getting out on the ATV more right now.

  2. I guess I can start a build thread for this? I picked up a car hauler - scratching an itch I've had as long as I've driven a vehicle capable of towing such a rig as I'm sure some of the cronies can attest to. Appears to be "well used" but solid - plenty of life left. Previous owner went through it and gave it a coat of paint on the areas you could reach without laying on your back (i.e. crossmembers are still needing paint). He also freshened the brakes, bearings, put new LED lights all around, and got it saftey'd one week before I purchased it. It's hard to tell in the photos, but there were a couple of items that needed to be addressed right away 1) the trailer brake battery was a lawn tractor battery crudely wired and strapped to the deck (see blue strap at front of deck between the ramps in above pic) and 2) there was no plate mount or plate light (how did that pass safety?). So I picked up a new trailer brake controller, attached it to the front of the frame, and wired it all in. I also put together a plate bracket and light and put it on the rub rail on the back - it is "supposed" to go on the lower driver's side fender, but I knew that would have just got rekt on the first drive. A bit hard to see, but the battery box is just inside the second upright on the front. I also yanked off the old straps that are attached to the front of the frame. I think I'll cut the winders off the front someday and perhaps reuse them on the sides ... or I might just take them off and save a couple of pounds lol. Here it is with its first payload under new management. I picked up four concrete pillars for our new deck. They are about 900 lbs each and about 5.5 feet high. Pulled it great. The deck is fine ... but it's showing age and has a couple of holes. I think I might pull it later this year. That will also give me easy access to rehab the crossmembers and inspect / clean up any wiring hidden below it.

  4. For @sar4x4 - apparently VW is bringing back the Scout nameplate as an EV! Volkswagen is resurrecting the Scout as an EV. But what was the Scout? (autoblog.com)

  5. Oh ... right. I also got rid of the Ram and got a Ford.

  6. I can’t wait to see the difference. The sealed beams on it probably have been on it for 10 years maybe? I definitely didn’t plan on this much work this time around, started with a tailgate replacement and then I couldn’t help but address some other issues I knew were lurking. Some tasks like headights are just a nice break from body work haha.
