Description:

**RELISTING**... so-called buyer is a deadbeat. I just don't get it; is it funny to make a commitment and turn around and walk away?
Please, serious buyers only. If you don't want this item or can't pay for it, PLEASE DON'T BID.
Thank you and good luck!
1979 Jeep CJ5. As is, no warranty. I've no way to know but have to assume odometer has rolled. Mechanically no problems I am aware of- ready to be daily driver. When purchased in '07: brake system complete overhaul and all drivetrain components serviced. New in '08: black 15 10 spoke steel wheels and 32x11.50 BFG Mud Terrains. Tread in like new condition- just used as neighborhood toy, only highway time short trips to gas station. Had big dreams, but reality is she just sits in garage- needs to go have fun with somebody.
Couple minor electrical issues: Fuel gauge not functioning, determined sending unit the issue- was talked out of dropping fuel tank to replace it. I've just always written mileage on windshield with a grease pen at fillup. Temp gauge intermittent- will occasional peg out hot; Engine is NOT heating up- it will even do this when engine stone cold and ign just on acc. Has to be gauge or wire intermittently grounding. Cabin fan motor just quit-haven't done any troubleshooting, suspect simple switch or wire, always worked fine. All lights, wipers, etc. good.
Fair amount of body rust in usual areas; tub floor, base of fwd roll bar tubes, rear wheel wells, etc. Good candidate for tub replacement but not a problem if you're just looking for a farm toy or just don't care...
Included: Complete and functional (although aged) Bestop enclosure. Aluminum lock box mounted (in same rear seat bolt holes) in bed. Rear seat (loose) included. Has aftermarket(Trail Bilt) 3 hitch receiver installed over front bumper- great for carry-all. Small box of random items; lamp bulbs, switches, nothing too exciting. Factory(Jeep) shop service manual and service specifications manual.
Local pick-up or buyer arranged shipping only. Item location Georgetown, SC 29440.

Question from viewer reminded me to discuss suspension... When I bought her she had 33 tires. There is definitely some degree of lift but must be in springs/shocks. No evidence of body lift. My plan was to eventually get back to something close to stock height so 1st thing I did was get the smaller tires- would have preferred 31's, but didn't want tires/wheels to look too small with lift, and didn't want to tear into suspension at the time. She also looked a little jacked up in rear, that's why you see bottom leaf of rear springs flipped; was told that may help. Added a couple pics...
