Hey everyone, from my introduction everyone probably knows that up here in Alaska, one does not get many opportunities to find a YJ...a Sahara YJ none the less. Well just yesterday one was posted to craigslist down in Kenai. Im in Fairbanks so that about an 8 hour drive or a $300 flight. But its a 95 Sahara with the green trail cloth seats and the sandy beige body color. It is an automatic and I want to make a #12 so it would be more screen accurate than a manual. its also the first year with the galvanized chassis so thats a big plus, even though Alaska doesn't use salt on the roads, we use gravel (so instead of you car rusting, you tend to lose a windshield every other year, but thats better than rusting in my opinion). Only things I foresee as potential problems, from the picture, is that its suspension has been modified as well as the bumpers. Here is the kicker though...only 79,000 miles!!! verified by autocheck and carfax so hopefully thats accurate. Posted a Pic to see what everyone thought and more are coming tomorrow, the guy is going to email them to me. I know its my jeep and its what I will make of it, but please feel free to throw comments out there. The price is $7,000...a bit high, but if the miles are really that low Im game....plus it might be years till I see another one of these. Ive been searching for almost a year and a half and have only ever found 2 saharas that still had the green seats...this one and one that someone didn't want to sell. Alot of that $7,000 is due to the upgrades that I unfortunately will not be using
This is going to be my largest vehicle project and a lot of you have been there and done that with you jeeps and have experience with a lot of the troubles so please feel free to give your opinions on whether you think this is worth the effort.Thanks everyone,
Jim
