I might be buying a 97 wrangler for a whopping 400 bucks. I haven't seen it yet put it belongs to our mortar platoon Sargent for A troop. He told me he was gonna scrap it and when I asked what is wrong with it, besides minor rust issues everything he described was just a laundry list of compacted maintenance stuff. Maybe needs a new tc, nothing at all outside of my skill set.
I figure if it's not salvageable I can easily break even for parts, if it is salvageable I could flip it or keep it.
I wanted to hear some thoughts, my dad is a retired master gunnery Sargent, USMC. He is going to retire again from the postal service this year. I was thinking about painting it of green and then stenciling it to look like an old M151. So it would be of green with a tan top. Then giving it to him as a retirement gift.
I've already had one jeep buddy tell me that would be as lame as the new dragon graphics available on the current jks, I'm just curious what other peoples thoughts are, especially since we all have been talking a lot about wranglers vs cjs lately on here.
