SOLD.

This is a clean, one-owner, always garaged, drives like new, never been offroad, only highway miles, 52 mpg (better than Prius) Jeep Grand Cherokee........okay, in all seriousness though, this is none of the above, has been well used and has the scars to prove it.

The platform of this is a 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) running full-width one-ton axles with 39” sticky tires on beadlocks and a very low center of gravity making it extremely stable. This rig can go anywhere. I competed with it in the Old School Rock Crawl and have taken 1st and 2nd place. This is registered as an OHV as it is obviously not street legal in Utah. With the new street-legal OHV law, you should be able to go that route with relatively minor work (wiring up a horn, etc.).

I would love to keep this thing, but I've decided to move on to a new project and need to sell this to fund it. Now for some specs. Good chance I'll leave something out because I have done so much to this over the 8 years I've owned it. I've put more time and money into this than I even care to add-up and it's gone through many changes to get to where it is.

Does this mean you're no longer using the parts from it to build your buggy? :confused:

Correct. I decided it was going to be way too much of a hassle to part this thing out at my house since I don't have a lift and my RV pad is gravel. So I figured just starting from scratch will be easier overall. Plus, this will free up the funds to pick up the powertrain, which is currently what's holding up my progress on the buggy. I can't finish the chassis without knowing where/how the engine and trans fit.
