Ok, so I'm a sucker for a good deal. I came across an '04 LJ for sale today. 4.0 auto, 178,000 kms, 4.5" lift, front and rear ARB'S, 4.88's, chromolys front (rear too I think?) 35's, rear bumper and tire carrier, front HD bumper with a Warn and rope, skids, flat fenders, currie hd steering...the list goes on. It is about an hour and a half away. The kicker? The asking price is only $10,000! Did I mention that it belongs to one of our local off road shops, has been meticulously maintained and rarely winter driven?
I've got an '08 JKUR 6 speed with a 3" Rancho lift, 35's, bumpers, warn winch, drag link flip....a few things. Rebuilt title and offroaded fairly regularly during it's life, but in pretty good condition. 93,000kms. I should able to sell it for around $20,000.
SO many thoughts going through my head on this one. Many of the trails we have in my area are quite tight, especially for a JKU. I've always wanted an LJ, and this one is awesome. THe price is awesome. I am regularly annoyed with gutlessness of my 3.8 -so much so that I've been running the numbers on a Ls swap a lot lately. I have two kids and I know I would miss the extra doors ( but our family hauler is my wife's V8 4Runner). I do love my Rubi. The LJ is silver--ewwww. I could come out of the deal about $10,000 up. But I would most likely just spend that on hookers and blow. Ok, not really, probably a truck, or something useless like landscaping or paving the driveway.
So, talk me down off the ledge. Tell me how much I would regret selling my Rubicon.....please.
