Interesting find in the DC area

[Badgers]

Hi All,
Was thinking to make an offer on this TJ and wanted to get everyone's opinions and spread the word if someone is more interested than me. He's asking about 17, which might be a couple K too high, but looks clean unless I am missing something.

Any thoughts?

Look at the amount of rust on the brake lines on the master cylinder. That right there would make me question I few things. Not many good pictures of the underside.


It looks like fresh paint on the frame but I don't see any signs of bad rust. But it would not hurt to bore scope inside the frame rails.

I consider it cover up anytime there is fresh paint/coating on the frame and/or underside and adjacent items and fasteners got sprayed as well. Also, look at the rust on the underside of the frame between the TC skid. Why is that still there if he was addressing rust on the frame and not just trying to cover it up? Nothing was disassembled. Everything was sprayed. I'd inspect very closely and inside the frame.
