    • Air filter
    • Oil change every 3-4k (ish) (Royal Purple 15w40 high zinc)


    Just washed, waxed, and detailed at Kuni BMW Beaverton

    The bad:

    Paint is not original, the car was originally red and there are some chips and small parts here and there you can see. Engine bay, under hood, trunk, door sills all were painted. Paint is not perfect but from 10 feet it looks great.

    Odometer doesn't work and I believe the SI batteries are going out, the tach has a mind of it's own about 30% of the time.

    A/C needs a recharge, but it hasn't been converted to r134a.

    There's a slight vacuum leak somewhere, only has issues when cold. After she's been driven a bit it calms down and idles right.

    Prior to paint, body filler was used to smooth out a small part of the hood. Started lifting when it got cold.

    Transmission sounds like it's filled with marbles and the shifter bushings suck but it works perfectly.

    The interior is tan.

    That's about it as far as I can remember, although I can answer any questions you throw at me if there's something specific. Asking $5,000, but I will give R3v members a deal. I want her to go to a good home where the build will continue. I'll entertain offers as well. :P

    Judge for yourself:





















    Thanks for looking!

            Should list the wheels in your ad (with details on tires/wheel brand/etc). Also, are those MHW tails or just smoked? Also means $$$.

                  Good idea, adding those now. Taillights are not smoked, just a little deeper red and removed the amber turn signals.

                      Thanks! Just looking for cash at this point, however if you're looking to sell the CJ, I've got a bunch of jeep buddies that have a mud fetish who may be interested...
