[QUOTE="Bucky, post: 429528, member: 19423"] The only issue I see is that it has a carb and not fuel injected. At higher altitudes it’s going to loose some power and climbing steep angles can cause fuel starvation. That being said I have an 89 4.2L 5 speed and regularly go to 8K+ feet with it from my 1.5k home. Does it have doors? I’d try to knock the price down a bit. Drive it for a year before you do any upgrades to get a feel for it and see if the jeep lifestyle is for you. You can always resell it and get your money back as it will not lose it’s value. How old are the tires and has general maintenance been kept up? If you can have a buddy who knows jeeps drive it. As always rust can be an issue but if it is a western jeep that usually is not an issue. Without seeing it in person, it looks like a nice jeep to start with. [/QUOTE]
