You still go the charger? maybe we could trade toys for a couple months.

I wonder how your toy would do in Rte 80 rush hour traffic?!? While mine is AWD, I don't think it would handle all that mud quite the same.

That is a cool looking vehicle man. How much did you pay?

The deal isn't done yet because the owner is stationed in Germany, but everything should be finalized in a few days. Total will be $2850 for the truck, trailer, a spare, couple extra rims and all the other spare parts he has laying around.

I'm actually buying him a custom made transfer case for another one of his jeeps and we are "trading"

You should just get in the 300 of yours and drive to Alaska. I'll let you take the CJ10, FJC and ATV's out for a spin, bring your mud boots though.

That's me in the middle and my buddy/passenger on the right He's just lucky I was able to con the driver of the ATV into running the winch wire across the bog

I knew I should have stayed to the left, just couldn't fight the urge to see how much mud I could sling.

HOWEVER, some of these shot's are starting to sway me in believing it's off-road abilities (still don't like how it looks) are up to par.

People either love the looks or hate them, very few are indifferent. In my opinion it's a great part time offroad rig with good road manners, It's biggest achilles stems from the IFS suspension in front. It limits you to 33" tires max. People have 35" tires on them but that requires a re-gear and doing this has resulted in frequent CV axle replacement. The CV's just weren't made to spin that much weight and re-gearing the diffs makes it even worse. If the area your off-roading is passable with 33" tires, the FJC is more than able to hold it's own. Plus it handles extremely well on the road and with the 6 speed manual and 239hp it's no slug.

Hence the reason I'm buying this jeep, Solid Front Axle. It's got 34" pizza cutters right now, but will eventually have 35's or slightly larger if possible on it when I get it leveled out and put a bit of work in on the suspension. Probably will eventually have a 4.0l in-line six as well, but that's even farther down the road.
