Looks like I'm getting this one

I gave this one a good look and took it for a drive today. It's a 2002. Drove nice. Everything works. 137k miles. This one has the 5-speed MT and the Dana 44 with 3.73 ratio. Surprisingly no leaks. Even the rear main. Body is solid with the only issue being the clear coat on the hood is toast. The frame has some rash but is solid. Nothing a wire wheel and paint can't take care of. At my age it will last longer than me anyway. I'd guess the soft top is good for another year or three. It even has cruise and A/C.

I'll probably pick it up tomorrow.

Looks like a solid find. I'd take a faded hood over rust any day. The seats even look nice, given the age and mileage. Remove that giant front bumper, replacing it with something more light weight and fitting. Other than that, drive it and be ready for the smiles it will put on your face!

Well, the frame rust on this one kept bugging me. Probably going to pass on it.

get a bore scope and look inside the frame.

Clear coat, meh. Mine vanished decades ago and the hood paint is now gone as well. No rust due to AZ desert environment so no worries.
