I wound up getting it for ~9k, unrelated as I found the forum after while trying to get details.
Some clarifications....it needs a bit of work, not sure if this helps those looking to buy, I'm guessing not since everyone here seems way more advanced than I am on that process.
There's some pitting/rust on the rims which I wanted to swap out anyway.
The passenger side visor is missing the T bracket.
The rear view mirror is either wrong, or the metal plate or plastic receiver are worn out and will require replacement.
The top and windows are in pretty good condition (nowhere near replacing) but the top sags over the driver's compartment. The half doors insulation appears to have been replaced and they don't close correctly. I'm not sure if it's fabric that needs to be positioned better or re-done.
The center console needs to be tightened/shimmed something...it wobbles pretty good.
The dash radio/climate control bezel needs to be replaced. It appears to be a cheap swap out from when the radio was done. The ashtray falls out if opened (it's missing the top clip and rear screw. The top left needs to either be re-attached or is a reason to replace as it doesn't appear to be attached to anything.
Interior is excellent, rug, seats etc etc.
Engine/transmission/frame/suspension is impeccable.
The paint will require some buffing and the flares need replacing from sun cooking...they're flaking.
The ignition has the famous jeep tradition of being able to have the key removed while running....or in any other position.

I'm wide open to suggestions from the brain trust in here....this is a grocery getter and Sunday Funday vehicle....not rock crawling etc etc.
I just love jeeps and it's going to be my way to have fun in my off hours.

Most specifically I'd love to hear places to buy the parts and any and all links to how to's on simple fixes for the easy issues.

I'm new, if this is the wrong place to have dumped this, i'll take my beating like a gentlemen.

Pics please!!!!

This is before....you can tell by the sense of sadness and longing.....

This is after, you can tell by the joy, happiness and level of fun the picture exudes.....Also, that's my ugly bearded face in the drivers seat.

The Jeep man, the Jeep!!!!

Yeah yeah....that's what they all say, then I have to break hearts in the DMs when they find out I'm engaged.

Meantime, it's dark o'clock outside, I'll definitely do a full walk-through vid and some undercarriage shots...
A full glamor shots layout.

It will be later next week. I'm headed to the fiancee's parents for turkey and then Chicago for work.
