[QUOTE="deadpool1, post: 441105, member: 21229"] does the word DO mean [B][I]buy[/I][/B]? or you have one already.? all the parts can be replaced to lower any YJ to stock height. ( ask for top sellers, or search here) my guess is DO means buy, there is only 2 answers (brief) 1: do not buy rusty jeeps, (cars) period ( for sure) 2: drive it first. make sure its not a wreck of a drive train. (tranny screams it is bad, etc, etc etc) engine drums betting I am done? the car is 30 years old, that means what will be , will be ! I'd examine every inch of the car, for damage, leaks, rust, and previous collision damage. (bent frames) if not clear on that have shop check it out first. go 1992 and up, to get MPI EFI full injection go 4.0L. where is this mansfield. TX or OH or UK? ( locations matter) asking for next line answer. in OH that is the [B]salt belt,[/B] and fully of endless rust and doom. OH is salt belt for sure. never buy those. unless garaged all winter long. use web site , AUTO FAQs to find history of car using sellers VIN, oops , see if it lived in the salt belt all its life. Any car this old needs a full careful inspection, If the prices super low , rust is there. The answer is all these things are checked. even the front end caster way off and wonders and weaves like mad, and dangerous to drive. (jacked up wrong) bad tie rods, ball joints, steering box shot., loose or bad shackles on springs x8 and bushings wheel hub bearings shot engine , trans and XFR case shot. ( just listen as you drive it) U-joints shot. it's old. gross oil /lube or brake fluid leaks , all brakes a wrec,k like mine were. I had to put new SST brake lines on mine, old were SHOT.(rust bad) There will be electrical problems. or hacks or wrong parts put in the car. I put $3000 in parts on mine but knew I had to ,at the get go. what you expect on any car this old IDK. not me. [/QUOTE]
