[QUOTE="Gilaguy23, post: 436159, member: 19498"] Tell us what's he is asking if you will. Next rust, rust and rust is the biggest killer of jeeps. Body mount, between the belly pan and frame, in the frame, Cracked frames from abuse and crappy repairs is a concern. Cobbled up wiring systems. I cant recall if that will have TB injection which is pretty limited on parts availability and weren't great compared to the later style. Don't run? like in engine is spent or just a bad fuel system? 258's are pretty basic engines but Id assume the worst. I've told myself more than once base of a sellers good word and found a pile of issues far beyond what was said to be the case. Depending on how long it's been sitting consider clutch hydraulics, brake system problems. You can't hear it run, nor can you drive it so it's open to every part of the running gear being compromised, remind the seller of that regardless of his promise it's a one owner little lady's jeep who only drove it to the market.
