Same thing for my '76 CJ5. Except I know I'd never get the $$$ out of
it that I've already put into it and... IT IS BAD-ASS!!! I'd regret
it the day I sold it. I can have too much fun to justify selling mine
at this point. I could probably get $3000 if I was lucky for mine and
I just put about $1500 into it plus the purchase price of about $3200
less than a year ago. No way am I selling mine now. Tomorrow I'm
gonna do the rear brakes and then (cross your fingers for me) I'm
taking it in to see if I can get it to pass inspection. I'm taking
off from work tomorrow, friday, monday, and tuesday. If I can get it
to pass inspection tomorrow then I'm gonna THRASH that puppy during my
time off from work. And take pictures. WOOT WOOT!!!! Don't sell it,
dude. I'll bet I can get more than $3000 worth of fun out of mine.
Can you get that much or more fun out of yours? Probably, if you
try... You only go around once. You gonna sell it and buy some lame
painting or some crap like that to hang on the wall? Not me. :-)

Hey, KC, tell us what was wrong with it. It helps _us_ when someone else
pops in with a question.

I doubt that many of us here could get back the money they've put into
their Jeeps (Real or otherwise). But mostly what I hear is folks saying
"Gee, I had a Jeep, once. I'm still sorry that I sold it..."

terminals and cables and also he rewired the solenoid and the ignition
module i believe it was

shifting pattern but it is fun and it just tickled my little girl she loved
