im glad to see the jeep is not loaded with stickers and add on shovels, axes, etc!

good work on keeping it as simple as possible!

try painting those two hella lights into black or same colour as the jeep! they stand out as eye sours!

do write about the driving part of the jeep. how is engine behaving, does the 4wd works?

please do write about the driving experience and its behaviour on and off road!

congrats once again on a job well done!

Drooool Droool !!! Sigh!! Gotta hold on to my dream and do something to arrange the all imp vitamin M.

Wonderful restoration except the points mentioned by some others - out of place hella lights and too much green.

Can you post the expenses for the benefit of others like me? And yes a review of the performance.

What is the price you expect? asking you because you never shared the cost of the entire project.

@jeepsan:

I think the forum rules require you to put a price in the classifieds section else you may get an infraction.

hi everybody . recently i was again bitten by a jeep bug. so started looking for army auctions around .soon three of my friends also pitched in and we decided to get one for everybody, and believe me i was able to find 2004-05 ngcs as well as 09,00 models mm550's. i was able to get hands on three lots of four vehicles in each lot.last week i sent in the 25% draft and in weeks time i have to send rest amount . three lots are confirmed . we are keeping one lot and selling other two . we bidded for more than one lot because we heard that if you bid for two ,most of the times one lot gets rejected . but in our case we bid for three and got three . so we are not keeping other two in any case. we are open to all offers and don't plan to make any profit other than just the expenses incurred.
