Hello there friends,
I bought my Jeep last May (2013). I bought her the way she looks in the photo below. She came with 32 inch BFG All Terrains, a 4.5 inch lift, and flowmasters. When I got her she only had 139,000 miles on it. Today she has only 146,000 so she's still a baby.
Here's a photo from the day I got it.
I bought my jeep a from a woman who originally posted it on craigslist for $3,000. I figured why not go for it since it was what I wanted my Jeep to look like. Yeah yeah, I know people say "built not bought." I emailed her and asked if she would hold it for a couple days while I tried to get some money together. She told me she would hold it for the weekend- I was stoked. I tried and tried to come up with some more money asap but it just wasn't happening. I ran out of time and had to shamefully email her and let her know that I couldn't come up with enough money to buy it. I said at the end up the email that I was very thankful that she held it for me and sorry to waste her time, but for some reason if she wanted to sell it for $1,000 cash I would gladly buy it off of her.
Here's a photo from when some friends and I took the Jeep to Big Caliente Hot Springs behind Santa Barbara.
I checked my email that night and also for the next few days, but I got no response from her. I just figured she thought my offer was funny and blew it off. But one week later at mid-night I got an email from her.
She told me how she was moving to a new place and that it only had one parking spot. The jeep was her second vehicle, and she had actually got a flat tire on it the day before as well. She told me she was super over the jeep, and that if I came the next day and picked it up from her she would take $1,000 cash. I called up a friend and the next day we hit the road together to pick it up. We showed up and pumped up the tire with some air. We drove it over to Goodyear and had them patch the tire for $20. We drove back to her place, I gave her a $1,000 cash, and we headed home. That's the wonderful story of how I got my jeep of craigslist.
