Is this a good deal?
'98 TJ
4cyl 2.5L
78,000km
5spd
Hardtop
Completely stock
$9000 CDN
As a follow-up to my last thread General Jeep Questions, I'm just looking
for a fun summer vehicle to stick a small lift kit on (maybe 2-3") - enough
to throw on some 33" BFG MT's and go play around in the mud. I'd likely sell
the hard top (what do those go for on the used market?) and buy a soft top
since it will be parked in the winter and I can use the extra funds for
mods.
What would it cost to add a small lift to this? Any complications?
One other thing about it, it comes with airbags which I don't think I'd want
activated when I'm offroading. But if I'm cruising in the city, I'd like
them on. Is there an easy way to activate/deactivate them?
Thanks guys!

Re: Is this a good deal?
I think it is a bit steep, but it does have low 'mileage'.
As far as the air bags go, I have seen TJ's have pretty good losing
battles with trees and the air bags didn't fire, nor have I ever heard
of one going off prematurely.
We actually phoned DC about them after one tree bite. They asked if we
'thought' the bag should have been needed for the impact and we said no
and they said there you go...
Oh, we also bought or Jeeps with winter driving in mind. Both on and
off road.

Agreed, despite the mileage.
Hard TJ tops go for 1000 USD min. every day in desired markets, like
beach communities. I've seen them from 600 to 1500 depending on
condition, options, and location.
"Budget" 2" lifts go for 100 US (spacers & bump stop extensions) to
200 (spacers and longer shocks), parts only. 2" spring lifts start at
300. 2" lifts are advertised for 32's, maybe someone has experience
with 33's on one....
So at 2" or 3" of lift, you will find frustration with short U-joint
life and driveline vibration if you aim to stop your expenditures at
lift & tires...
It is common practice to leave the airbags in place on any streetable
Jeep....the factory calibrated the airbag deployment sensors to
accommodate light off-road encounters with solid objects.

Agreed, despite the mileage.
