Time to unload it. You do not seem too mechanically inclined and it is going to eat you up in repair bills to shops. But, to each their own.

Unload it...just got it running good. It does not have a skid plate underneath and the brush keeps pulling out plugs. I've ziptied everything up the best I can so..... With $3100 total to date invested in it...we're going to run it till, till, ..... well till I have to buy another part.

I don't think you did bad, good ongoing mechanical experience for your son and something that will work on your lease. I still can't bring about in my mind the justification for a UTV specially when they they are 10-20 grand. confused2

Interesting...I just bought a 74 CJ5 for the same reason last night! Now, when I bought it, I knew it needs new brakes, and I know the steering box leaks like a sieve. Other than that, it seemed off road ready. I really hope I don't find a whole bunch of issues too!

The one I have was lifted and welded with 35" tires. Didn't realize that certain parts have to be reinforced and everything has to be lengthened (driveshafts) I learned all this on a jeep forum. Good luck with yours for sure!! I've had one whole weekend with zero issues since it was dropped off at our lease. This upcoming weekend hopefully will be the same.

It looks to be the stock suspension. I was a previous jeep owner, so at least I'm already familiar with a lot of the mechanics. the stock suspension on those old jeeps already sits fairly high. High enough that I can fit 32's without any mods, 33's if I feel like breaking out the sawzall. smile

Don't ever admit that about a jeep. Doomed next time now.

That's ANY older vehicle that's getting used like this one most likely is...
