Thanks, I'm loving the WJ so far although the PO beat the living shit out of it, even if the engine goes I'll throw a rebuilt engine in it for under $1k...it's a great beater

This is by far the best $500 I've ever spent...The only Monte Carlo Blue Jeep in the country

Nice pickup! I still miss the old ZJ I picked up on craigslist back when I picked up my Moupe. Almost replaced the ZJ w/ a WJ when the ZJ's electrical gremlins exceeded my threshold and I didn't have the time to troubleshoot. You have the i6 or V8?

I have the 4.7 V8 but it's blowing lots of white smoke...probably a blown head gasket, that's why it was so cheap. I'm looking to replace it with a brand new Reman 4.7 V8 or 5.7 Hemi. I'll drive this Jeep into the ground

You should take this up Mt. Beacon, should make it up with no problems. Also, you can flip this for a pretty penny for sure. Makes me jelly.

Wound up giving the WJ to my neighbors son since his father recently passed away...in the mean time I searched CL for another cheap beater and came across a 2001 Tahoe for $1000.
I also bought the same year Escalade and swapped interiors since the Tahoe interior looked nasty with stained cloth seats...now it's all business on the inside and party on the outside lol The paint/clear coat was shot so I decided to repaint it with Herculiner instead of regular paint...don't worry, I used a 4'' roller this time so no fumes or overspray got on my neighbors cars lol
