Tires and Wheels: 35/12.50R15 Pitbull Rockers on Black Rock wheels w/ Welded on rock rings. Full size spare included.

Other Odds and ends: Tom Woods rear drive shaft and a Detroit Axle front drive shaft. Upgraded Dodge 1 Ton Brake Master. Dodge Durango steering box. 1 Ton Ruffstuff TRE steering. Custom center console set up for rear hydraulic parking brakebut never purchased.

Good: Truck runs and shifts excellent. No leaks. A/C works just could use a recharge for the season. Everything works as it should. I’ve had this truck on some of the hardest trails on the east coast and it’s never let me down. A great jeep to jump in and going wheeling tomorrow. 4.88 gears and the manual transmission makes this thing crawl. 

The bad: Truck was wheeled (Field and Forest, Rausch Creek, Upstate NY, Windrock and Moab) so it has quite a bit of bruises. Tires are only balanced with BB’s because of rock rings so has a little shimmy at highway speeds, easily fixed with balanceable wheels. Control arms have wear and could use replacement to quite them down.

Extras: To help clean up the body if so to choose, comes with hood, fenders doors and hatch. Extra rear glass (hard to find). Full set of spare axle shafts and steering. I’ll throw in any other Cherokee parts I have as well. 

Only reason for selling is I have another project I’d like to finish and I’m not using it as much as used to. I’m sure there is other things I’m forgetting. $6,500 no trades
