TwistedcaB might be back :) should i trade my mustang for this Jeep?

well this is just one offer so far but it seems like a pretty damn good deal. it's a 1990 Limited heres his description of it:

the motor has around 13,000ish mile's, it has Deaver 5.5 dual rate coil's in the front and g5 Deaver prerunner pack in the rear with 1.5 RE shackle, Currie trackbar, Rusty 1ton steering, sit's on 33's got 5 of em... Dual red top optima's relocated to the rear, lots of other stuff. 4.56's gears front n rear with less then 2,000 mile's. fully trussed D44 in the rear and hp30 in the front. I am slowly setting it up as a jeepspeed/desert toy. It's my daily driver, There is no ad as I don't know if I'm going to get rid of it yet but your mustang really cought my eye. The picture is with my code3 light system on the top for fun in the desert, its wired in so I can put in on or take off... oh also my jeep has electric cooling fans to cool the stroker, I just keep remebering stuff, like I said it has lots n lots of work done.. also has stock 4link setup with Rubiconexpress Dropbrackets, RE superflex control arms top n bottom, its got the warner aw4 so that'd be a auto lol, the inside is stripd I mean all the platic panals and what not is there just no carpet I'm in the process of bedliner in a can then some floor mats. it is a limited so power windows seat"wish is was all manual" the system is aftermarket but nothing crazy... has a good cd mps ipod deck with cheap door speakers and a 9in basstube, jeep is made to go not show :P

heres a link to my ad for my mustang:
98 Mustang GT ( not stock ) for a Jeep or Truck - DezertRangers.com

i like that it's a similar set up to my old one but with some other upgrades ( D44, 4.6....) but im wondering how reliable are stroker engines compared to normal 4.0's?

heres some pics of the jeep, i'd probally take off the flares and give the jeep a repaint so that im not worried about. what do you guys think?

I say go for it. I think it needs a grill back on but that's an easy find. Seems like a great jeep to me.

#1 lose the light bar
#2 does it have any kind of heater? I notice that the heater controls have been hacked.
#3 no console?

I would at least look at it, but it looks a bit rough

Yeah it has a summit racing heater and the interior (consol and stuff ) is out so he can bedline the floor. And I agree on the light haha

Alright you Primitive Screwheads, listen up! You see this? This... is my boomstick! The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?
