Sold it.

[Petescj]

Well guys I ended up selling my CJ7 today. It had to be sacrificed in order to help my never ending quest for A CJ8 . So now I find myself looking for a $3000 CJ8 . Gonna be tough to find something road worthy for that price but Im not afraid of a project anyway. Vicki said to me today "I thought you liked to work on Jeeps" my reply "But Id like to drive one soon too"

Good luck on the 8. You still have the 5 though so you can stay..

Hope you got a good price on the 7. Any leads on the new one?

The phoenix one wouldve been nice if I still lived in Casa Grande. Id only be about an 1hr away. Minneapolis is a bit further than I wanted to go also. But hey thanx for looking out.

if you want to drive it soon, stay away from anything with a plow on the front. those tend to have lived a very hard life, and would need major work to be really road-worthy.

Good luck finding a 8 they are hard to come by. If anything pops up around here I'll let you know.

at lease you sold the 7 to get a 8. i know someone that sold a 7 for a toyota pick up. i dont know what he was thinking. if he didnt have the 7 and just got the toyota then it wouldnt of bugged me. lol

That guys out of his mind saying that 8 isnt a basket case. Its a chopped up POS . Worth 1k , tops. Good luck on your quest for an 8

 

[Petescj]

Hes had that thing for sale forever. No top or bulkhead , frame replacement most likely needed not to mention the exhaust and tranny and......

 

[hole]

Your a wise man to pass on that one!! It seems that the prices on 8's are more reasonable in mid-west / east coast, at least on the web/auction sites I've seen. It seems that someone convinced everyone here in Ca. and in Texas that 8's are worth a pound and a half of gold. Since I already have one I'm happy to know that I might be able to retire someday IF I were to sell it. The right deal will come along, try checking CJ8 .com lots of east coast and mid west members. Good luck !

Anybody wanna buy those axles? If they were wide trac I think I wouldve had a deal with the Cl guy but as it is now no deal.
