ok guys, so, another jeep buying noob here

im looking at this 94 YJ http://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/1166692652.html

ive got a good idea of what i need to ask, such as, has it been taken care of, only owner, whats new, etc...

BUT!

I want to know what else you guys suggest I ask, please take into consideration the condition of the jeep.

Thanks so much guys!

How high have you jumped it?

[Matt87YJ]

I wouldn't ask the guy anything I'd run away. Do yourself a favor and find one with less or no rust you will be happy you did in the long run.

[havasu]

Don't commit to anything until you get under that jeep and find out for yourself how bad that rust is!

[zeus87gn]

Ask him why he wants so much money for a rust bucket.

Run away......
FAR away.

[93jeepyj]

ouch, that thing looks rotten I can only immagine what the diamond plate is hiding. Its not like you couldnt fix it but im sure you would rather spend money on fun stuff like a lift and tires and just about anything other then cutting out rot and repairing it but its up to you.

[speepdaedeesi]

i would pass. if you dont have more cash than 1500 then save up and get a better jeep.

[Jeepsr4me19]

Rust = evil. It would be better if you drove down here and bought one cheaper and drove it back than to have to deal with that rust. I got a 91 with zero rust. Even the torx screws that hold the brake lines on the frame are in mint shape..........

dude, get this..

Looking to sell or trade my off-road rig for a bike. I am looking for just about anything 600 or above from late 90's to whenever in the 2000's. MUST be legit, and titled. No stolen b.s. The earliest I will go would be a 93ish 900rr. Bike should run and not be in need of any major repairs.

Onto the info of my rig. It's a Samurai body stretched 12" and mated to a Jeep Wrangler Frame/Engine/Axles/Drivetrain. Basically it's a full jeep wrangler with a samurai body. The front axle is locked. Tires are Super Swamper LTB's 31x11.50x15's I have a safari top for the summer and a full top for the winter. Both doors are removable. I will include all my trail gear with this. Basically you can get in it, drive it to the trails and wheel. It passes e-check without any issues due to it being registered as a carburated suzuki samurai but with a fuel injected jeep wrangler engine.

$3000 OBO

That's alot of body work brother, and as some one who is finally getting around to his "hidden rot" seeing so much obvious rot is not a promising investment... you might fall through the floor and run over yourself before you make it home.

ouch, it really looks that bad? im going to see it tommorrw, but i didnt think it looked THAT bad, you really think i should stay away from it? part of me wants to just see what it looks like down below, i dont really mind welding, but 1500 bucks?

[Dhofstet]

That is a lot of rust and a lot of miles. its a V6 which is good, but 200,000 miles is quite a bit..

For $1500 I'd pass. Judging by the back picture it looks like there will be a bunch of frame rot

[EricYoung]

Run from that rusty piece-a-crap. If your into to looking down while driving and seeing through the rusted out floor board and watching road go by then... it might be a good deal for you... if not.. RUN!
