Thanks for the reply.

I think that is an excellent point, not knowing how much money and old jeep could take. I would like to discuss that some more.

I am looking at jeeps costing $3500-$4500, and they are already lifted, one with a rebuilt motor, at least one end with lockers, so a lot done to them. Of course I only hear the good stuff. They may be rust buckets, the suspension may be shot and so on.

Trouble is the folks want several thousand for a newer jeep, and that will still only be the start. Still need to lift, and probably get taller tires.

The other thing that is getting me, and I may be full of crap here, but I like the longer wheel base of a CJ7. To get that now I would have to get an unlimited, and then I am way out there for prices.

Thanks again.
