I already own a TJ that I am building up but have recently been tempted to the dark side by a toy. What sort of things do I need to look out for if I go and have a look at it in person? Does this seem well set up? does to me but then I only know jeeps. What else would need to be done to make it a hardcore trail rig? How would it go on-road? Could it be chopped to make it open and then put a full cage etc.
Price is around US$4500
Thanks guys
