I have no idea where that guy gets his asking price from, but hes going to be at it for awhile.

The wheels are ugly I would give him about 3 or 4 grand for it.

I think this line from the add says it all...

"this rig is ready to roll and take you where ever you want to go."

Conversation?

Wife: Get rid of that F*#*&$ SUV! It gets more attention that I do!
Husban: But honey I've put so much money into it, can I at least get back most of what I have in it?
Wife: Well, ok, but I want it gone.
Husban: I'll put a "to move" price on it. I mean you don't want to lose money on it, right?
Wife: Well... I supposed not. You know that makes sense, don't just give it away. Make someone pay you what it's worth.

Huban "{whew, that was close} Yes dear, I'll put it up on Craigslist right now!"

:rofl: I never even thought of it that way.

 

[JeepGodXJ]

HAH! That's how i'd do it! :rofl:

TEN INCHES of lift to clear 36's?!?!?! those fenders dont even look trimed! would be a nice "show and shine" street XJ if you are into that

 

[Howler_GT]

OMFG!!!
Over $21K invested and he slaps a K&N air filter on it!!

Definately a show rig.

Rocksliders welded to frame??
Drop pitman arm?
Surprised he didn't add the 4 Skyjacker steering stabilizers. Every show rig needs these to cement the "OFF-ROAD" look.

I'd take that $18k and go get my head checked.

 

[xtreme velocity]

21k??? Better have gold skids!! And a bum warmer!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl:

 

[Kyle]

Ya I have no idea what he spent 21k on, I could build a very nice rig and still have money left over with that budget.

 

[Jeonlyep]

Yea and I thought that my build was pricey.......

But I just barely cover half of his budget.....​

 

[drakan1908]

Gonna show this to the wife. Then I can say"See I haven't spent that much money". Then I can spend some more.

 

[TripleXJ]

Well hell I will make ya'll a better deal than that...I will sell MY XJ to someone for the first $8k AND IT IS ATLEAST READY TO HIT THE TRAILS !!!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Rocksliders welded to frame??

Not defending the guy, but why exactly is this wrong?

I'm not buying this list of "upgrades". Some stuff just doesn't seem to make sense.

First thing that caught my eye was that the LCA's look like their on too steep of an angle for them to be long arms. Furthermore, how is he using a TJ cross member skid plate if the RE Long Arm kit comes with its own belly pan? Something makes me think he doesn't have the LA kit unless there was some major fabbing going on.

And that rear bumper/tire carrier is a little overboard. That spare is pretty high, and could've definately be built to sit much lower, even though it'd probably affect departure angle.... which I don't think this guy took into consideration anyway.

And his price?! I could build two nice XJ's with that much money!

 

[Mudderoy]

Before I spent $18k on someone else's mess, I'd go buy my own parts and build my own XJ. If I didn't have an XJ I'd get one then build it.

Can you imagine just going out and getting everything you ever wanted for your XJ and the bolting it on?

It took me a year (or more) before I could get my rear bumper with tire carrier.

For $18k I'd have a new motor, transmission, and all the parts I ever wanted for my XJ.

It would be like a dream come true thats for sure.
