Not a bad deal for the price.

97 wrangler TJ. It was originally a 4 cylinder manual, but was powertrain swapped and now has a 5.2 magnum v8, 46rh auto trans, ford 8.8 rear axle with an OX Locker, front axle is a high pinion dana 30 out of an xj. 4.10 gears. I have a spare 5.9 magnum engine that I was going to put in one day that also goes with the jeep. Upgraded radiator to 4 row radiator and high output flex-a-lite fan with auto temp controller and manual switch override. Jeep also has bigger fuel tank out of a 6 cylinder tj, newer driveshafts, new marine grade stereo.

I think this Jeep was For Sale before. Don't know if it's the same owner or not. But yes for what it is IMO it's a great deal.

Even if you were just buying it as a swap kit it seems pretty reasonable

The 8.8 is a good axle and can handle the power of the V-8 & the HP30 will up to 35-36" tires. It's a good platform to make a nice trail Jeep. The 46RH could be swapped for a 46RE or you could drop in a 8HP70 if you wanted to get fancy...

Heck I was thinking if you just used the drivetrain for your own jeep and sold the rest you'd get a real cheap swap.

That too... If you've already got the built Jeep... Like I did with the Hemi.
