PO Regrets

[LaZ8787]

We all have our own tastes and own styles, and plans for what we want our TJs to be.

But, what's the one thing (or a multitude of things) that you really wish the previous owner hadn't done before you got your hands on it?

Nothing he or she did is left on the jeep anymore

Any modifications from stock.

My jeep's po did a few things that I didn't care for and/or didn't work well. But if I ever sell it, the new po (me) will be responsible for some serious molestation.

My PO was, well, Chrysler, so - not sure...

I have the same philosophy with women

As clean of a slate as possible

PO hacked up the front fenders and installed Smittybilt tube fenders. Then the nice yellow paint was redone with flat paint from Maaco. Nice way to depreciate the value by $5,000.

Current TJ was built from ~9 or so other TJs. In that regard, it would have been beneficial if they labeled, sorted, and organized the parts before I arrived.

My biggest and most frequent gripe with previous Jeeps has been the PO's poor electrical workmanship. Tap splice connectors, wire nuts, speaker wire used for primary power runs, rusty grounding points, etc. etc, etc.

Smashed up the hardtop... Oh wait that was me. Mine was stock

One of the previous owners put side steps on it.

ooh. I wouldn't trust those guys...

My Jeeps original owner ran it stock for two years then threw 33s and 4.10s under it, but never changed the speedometer gear. Why? Why didn't he just change that little gear instead of racking up fake miles? That was the very first thing I fixed.

PO put twin tube bumpers on it. Oops, wrong pic. There's a Jeep somewhere in that photo.

Took me about 20 minutes to finally spot the Jeep and another 20 to see Rebacon.

 

[TheBoogieman]

Found it. I like the other pic better.

Well, there is a fair amount of sizzle going on, there...
