Good luck!! Bet it's warmer and dryer than a UTV.
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

Hope it costs less to get hunt ready than the '86 Bronco I bought 2 years ago. 'Don't quite have 10 times what I paid for it in it, but I can see it from here!

So much for "ready" Needs alternator...easy fix. Rear drive shaft literally slipped out of transfer case within the first 5 minutes. It's raised so much the drive shaft is to short. Dropped it off this morning to get a longer one. Winch worked great! Back at it Saturday....for now it's parked.

Curious where you found that at. Looks like one I was debating on but all jeeps are pretty much the same looking.

That may be the same one I was looking. It's been for sale a long time. Sounds like a decent deal for sure. Can't beat cover heat and ac.

I did test drive it....about 3 blocks on pavement. The PO was super nice and let me come to his shop and work on it the day after I bought it. Cleaned it up...cap wires rotor plugs oil change wipers. He had his shop guy drop gas tank to get rid of the old fuel, new fuel filter, air filter, pcv ect. Has 8in long arm "something or other" on front end. Rock Crawler with 35" tires. For the price I couldn't go wrong. He is working on the drive shaft for me right now....will pick it back up tomorrow and reinstall it on truck saturday, weather permitting.

Make sure to check the steering box mount. Those are notorious for cracking when you lift those. Not a hard fix but a pain in the butt.

Cool ride. I've got a 4X4 Ford Explorer that I used to use on the lease, now it just sits. Probably need to get it all up and going again and sell it.

Can you weld? If so very easy fix and I can walk you through it to where it will never break again.
