It currently sits on 32 inch tires on aftermarket rims which were installed by the previous owner. It can be taken back to stock especially with the inclusion of the original rims in the sale.
Known issues:Driver seat needs new stitching on one of the middle seems but otherwise great. Other 2 seats are clean without flaws.Shifter seems to have been modified, no longer bent like from factory.Missing original fog lights and have been replaced with KC LightsFrame has been painted before our ownership. No signs of major issues but like everything, do everything at your own risk. Mechanic saw no issues when it was on the lift.Current rims are not to my liking, original rims should probably be repainted to better match the current state or the truck.
This jeep is a fun and reliable investment. A great alternative to a new wrangler or to add to a collection. It is currently not a museum piece but with a little bit of work it could be brought to that state. We used this as a more comfortable alternative to the CJ7s. Air conditioning, loud stereo, and comfy seats made for the ultimate vintage jeep.
We are believed to be the 3rd owner and has lived in Connecticut with us and its previous 2 owners its entire life. Never driven on the beach. It is currently on Martha's Vineyard and I can assist with transporting it to Cape Cod for a sale. Clean Massachusetts Title. Test drives, additional photos, and videos available.
Selling due to scaling down our 50 truck Jeep and Land Rover Collection. We have other Jeeps and Land Rovers for sale if interested in learning. Bought originally because it was for sale locally in our town and was to be a great complement to our 1989 Khaki Metallic YJ Sahara Automatic with 58,000 Miles. With other similar Jeeps, this truck is no longer driven and would be great to go to a new home. For an additional cost, I have an extremely mint original matching khaki soft top for this truck with hardware but plan to keep it for the 1989 Automatic we still have.
