I traded for this about 3 months ago but really want a 66 continental.
Runs and drives (with new tires)
New speakers
New carpet
Apple car play with large head unit.
Rebuilt transmission 12-20-22, with receipts and warranty.
Needs front driveshaft due to exhaust in the way.
The real bad- tires are junk!! They’re dry rotten bad! One popped on my last week. Will not hold air!

10k or trade

It would help to add some further details
What size tires?
There are no heater hoses installed in the pic. Does it have working heat now?
What axles/lockers/ gear ratio/transfer case

Well I sure haven’t missed this community!
Tires are 37’s but they’re trash as stated in the description.
It doesn’t have heat from the heater core but where it was switched to an automatic from manual there’s a hole in the floor board that puts off great heat. great observation though!
It also doesn’t have a back up camera either.

The jeep cranks up after a couple pats of the gas and runs great.

Don’t know about transfer case. It turns when I put in 4x4.

The exhaust is trash also! When front drive shaft is installed the exhaust will have to ran around it.

If I find wheels and tires on here I’ll probably just keep it. Then get off this sit again for another 5 years.

For what it's worth, I bought this jeep in a package deal from a member off of here a few years ago. It sat at my house for quite a while until I finally decided to put in my shop and then it sat there for a year or so, I never found the motivation to do anything with it. When I sold it maybe 1 1/2-2 years ago it had a lp30 and 44 rear with 3.55 ratio. I swapped the complete rear 44 and the just the gear set from the 30 into my wife's tj to gain the 3.73's that were in this jeep when I bought it. It also had a np205 transfer case when it left my possession. The rear had the factory lsd and the front was open. I think it's been passed around several times since I sold it so none of this may be correct any longer. And yes, those mtr's were sketchy rotted when I first got the jeep so I can only imagine how they are at this point! The body and frame were both in very good condition, no rust nor any signs of rust to be found anywhere. That's the main reason I held onto it as long as I did, thinking eventually I'd do a Ls/ton swap.

Thank you so much for the information on the jeep. That’s about the same how I acquired it. Don’t know anything about jeeps.
Yeah they definitely have them maypops for sure!
Tried to make it 2 miles down the street.

You're welcome. Yeh, they had plenty of tread left, just not much left in the structure to support them!
