want a trail rig, need advice

[Ricky B]

There's at least 2 grand right there if they are just mildly built....so true that on the 5-7k

Yea I second that, you can build a pretty decent 3/4 ton rig for a little less if you can stand havin a tire in the 38ish range max.

I agree but on this budget I would get an XJ before I got a YJ because you can save a grand or so and have the same drivetrain. Granted no removable top and you get to deal with unibody but stock YJs with the 4.0 in decent shape till seem to pull 4 or 5K pretty easy.

Not true!! they are out there for around $1500 all the time. Studnutty just sold one recently. I second the Sammi too.

I mean do you ask Micheal Jordan to stay off the basketball courts????
You can't stop perfection

No but apparantly Mud, Rocks, dirt and the occasional speedbump will.

Your in luck, somebody just posted your perfect starting rig for the right price. I personally wheel the pee out of that exact rig.

Find something that you can find parts for, and you can get aftermarket parts at fairly decent prices.
