its a real attention getter! runs and drives as good as it looks. I have a clean title for it that matches the Vin plate. I’m sure I’m forgetting a few things that I replaced. we are selling because we want to buy a utility 4wheeler. asking $8500 OBO, would also do a partial trade for a 2002 or newer Honda foreman”
Am I the only one who finds great irony in the statement: “selling because we want to buy a utility 4wheeler.”??? THAT’S WHAT YOU HAVE, ALREADY!
Love this jeep. It is beautifully done.
what is Your top speed on the highway?
Looks like this one sold. I’ve updated the post.
