I am looking at the following TJ on Craigslist. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/car/574830172.html
Maybe I can get some input??
It is bone stock, original owner, with about 75K. Never been off road.
What I really want to drive is a TJ, bikini top, with a 4" lift and the biggest tires that will fit.
Here are my questions:
The axle's.......If the rear is a D30 (how can I tell?) will that work for the big tires and simple trail riding?? How involved (other than the obvious) is an axle swap??
What about the front axle?? Anything I should know??
The owner said the Jeep has an interment electrical problem on the guage cluster. He said it was a recall. The dealer repair only lasted a year. I understand that it may be a ground issue. Any input on that??
It has a hard top. How difficult is it to remove for the summer. You know, Southern California winters are brutal (last weekend it was 80 degrees... LOL)
The owner said this jeep was never off road (I had two 4x4 Suburbans like that), what should I be looking for any place else on the vehicle??
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Bill
