Jeep shopping in January in NE

Nothing out there for sale. Want finished, stock (not lifted) CJ5 and am having no luck. Was going to see a 1969 100 miles away today and owner sold it yesterday, after two months on market.

I figure people put off selling up north till the spring. You guys in the southwest have a better selection anyway. No snow, no salt. I'm looking out at 2 feet of the stuff right now.

 

The way it's going now, snow's everywhere. I heard last week there was snow in 49 states.

 

i have a finished 74 cj ren could trade for a superb waggy................

 

Long way to Iowa, Iagmc.

Never owned a Waganeer, but I had an 84 Cherokee that, back then, was the same size as the Waganeer, as I recall. Nice, standard shift, plain Jane tank for the winters.

 

theres a used car lot here that has a real nice lookin cj for sale looks like a 70s model fiberglass top all stock I havent stopped to check the price but could if your interested. it appears from the outside its pretty rust free and not been abused, paints oxidized a little (blue) but looks real clean.

 

nothing up this way besides some 2a's not restored but i do have a line on a guy that has some 5's that need bodys most have f heads and all need something.. even the CL has nothing but lifted in it decent prices.....could just bite the bullet and take the lift out of it and sell it off.. couple just had 2 to 3 inch spring or shackle lifts..

 

Chuck, if CJ5, would appreciate info. Thanks.

I thought about getting one lifted and taking lift out. I assume that would involve shackles, springs, maybe shocks. What else, never lifted one.

 

if it is spring shackle lift it would be easy to take out pretty much what you listed, depending on what size ( higher you go the more you have to change) ...body lift is the easiest to take out ...there is a 77 in wisccassit maine fiberglass body fenders 48,000 miles $4,000 doesnt list a lift in it just 31 inch tires.
