The Good:
Mechanically there is nothing wrong with this Jeep that I am aware of. I recently repaired the header (info below), windshield washer pump, and A/C blower motor relay pack. Cosmetically there are a few very light scratches that could be buffed out but no dents, no rust, and no major blemishes. No check engine codes, no miss, runs great. No oil or fluid leaks, clean inside and out. Ice cold A/C and red hot heat.
The Bad:
The only thing I would consider bad is the fact that the top is the original top from 1999. Until 3 years ago it was cared for and always cleaned and treated with the special protectant. There is a small pin-hole in the front left area but its on part of the slope of the top so it doesn't drip or leak. All zippers function properly but the top is just starting to show it's age. Not sure if you would consider this bad but the floorboard around the 4WD shifter needed to be trimmed when the original owner installed the body lift, but it has never been done. It will contact the sheetmetal when flexed and pop it out of 4-Low. Since it's never been used offroad and 4-Low hasn't been used I never fixed it.
And now for the Jeep's history:
I've done every bit of work to this Jeep other than the body lift, it was already installed when we bought it ~7 years ago. It was bought for my mother who has been using it as her daily driver until last month at which time I did some trading to get her a good gas mileage vehicle. The Jeep has spent it's entire life on the highway, it's first owner drove 110 miles per day to work and my mother has driven it all over Alabama and Georgia. The extent of it's offroading was me getting it stuck in a friends yard a few weeks ago..... I would have sworn the ground had dried out!
The Jeep has a brand new Jasper Engines 4.0L because my mother couldn't be bothered to look at the gauges from time to time, so it was run very hot. Instead of rebuilding we went with a brand new engine. Two weeks ago I replaced the header with a better model from Quadratec. The old cheaper header cracked and has been welded and is included with the Jeep. Not installed but also includes a set of chrome/black step nerf bars, and the original factory spare with cover. Also pictured is a switch panel I just picked up from eBay to replace the original broken one that has long since been trashed. Not installed but is included.
My reason for selling is mainly due to the fact that it isn't comfortable for me being 6'3" 275lbs. I'm not a Jeep person by any means, I only ended up with it from helping my mother out of a bind. Also since I myself am out of the bind that caused me to sell my Suburban Expo project I am finally able to get back started building another expedition vehicle and need the money to put towards it.
