Background:
Time to sell! I built this Jeep while in college, it was also my daily driver; I graduated and priorities changed. I am the original owner. The “Walkabout” has been GARAGE KEPT for the past 4 years, started once a week. I swapped in the front axle right before having to abandon the project—the Jeep is drivable and is street legal (registration/inspection sticker is expired). This Jeep has been taken care of VERY WELL!!

There are few odd/ends that should be tied up, but very minimal work:
* Rear axle needs to be re-geared to 5:13s (front drive shaft is removed, but is included)
* Front drive shaft probably needs to be shortened ~1.5”
* Front shock mounts may need to be lowered or shorter shocks installed.

A very small list of items to attend that probably can be completed in a weekend. In addition to the Jeep, you will receive LOTS of extras (see list below), including a ready-to install DOM roll cage. Please contact me via email: grinch@houston.rr.com or cell, 832-541-1070-- ask for John

Asking Price: $7500
