same here, I thought daveys was just a jeep salvage yard pretty much, nice jeep though! one thing though, if you plan on soa, 35'swill probbaly be the smallest tire you would want on there. If you just want some 33's get a nice 4 inch lift, some booms and tj flares and you will be set. good luck!

Yea it is a salvage yard but i got luck and it was a jeep from his family member he was selling so i got really lucky

Great lookin' red Jeep. I have a soft spot for them in my heart. Bought mine three years ago in much worse shape than yours is in, so congratulations on your find. Here's to a long relationship with your heart's new best friend and wallet's worst enemy.

How much did you pay for it? It looks in great shape for purchase. And did the tire carrier come with it?

**zeke6785** · 07-17-2008, 01:50 PM

i payed a little over 5 grand but the tire crrier came with it and i also forgot to list all the extras i got in my main post so here they are

ARB air lockers fron and rear
superwinch s9000
almost new 31" BFG A/T
2.5" sky jacker lift
full roll cage
new motor

i think i got a sweet deal

You should prime and paint where you cut out the body for the snorkel so it doesn't rot out.
