Then we can expect some real pictures by Monday?
I hope so. My typical luck there 1 snow storm that delayed it already and another brewing this weekend. Both storms in VA not PA either.
It got here today just as I got home from work. I'm having the same issues as Hedgehog with Photobucket and the site. You'll have to wait for pics for a little. I can say I'm extremely pleased with this purchase but I'll let the pics do the talking once I get her cleaned up and the pics hosted.

I'll try and get at least a couple up tonight after work. 
For $1800 plus another $400 to ship l feel like I stole it. It has that 4 in lift along with the aluminum wheels and 33 in tires but other than that it's bone stock. Hardtop was never off the Jeep

Also I own a 2001 Jeep Cherokee, White, all stock with 4.0L. automatic, and police package. Best part of that is it came with leather seats! This package also has the NP242 Transfer Case, 8.25 rear end, and trailer towing package.

Very nice Pete, so happy for you all. 
Here's the AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l . All stock. The wiring harness is still in the split loom throughout the entire engine compartment.
The other side shows the aluminum flex pipe from the exhaust manifold to the air cleaner still intact.

Think you may have found a keeper.
How's it run?

It's got some wear on it but she's not in to bad of shape overall. Most of my rust will unbolt. Both fenders have a spot and the windshield frame is shot. The tub has two small spots on the rockers and two on the taillight panels.
Unfortunately photo bucket is being a pain. I'll try more later

I poked around it alot better today. The starter solenoid on the fender was arcing so it replaced it today. The water pump is just about shot so i ordered a new one along with a new master cylinder. The master cylinder was leaking down the firewall.
After i repair those issues i think she's ready for a good ride. I've already noticed this 4 in lift is more forgiving than the 6 in i had on the last Cj. I think I'm going to like being back on 33s
