1991 Jeep Yj, Stretched, 5.3L V8 swap, locker, 35" M/T

Hey everyone, Regretfully Looking to sell my Jeep. I'm just not using it enough off road to warrant keeping it, going to switch to something a bit more "overland" friendly that can double as a daily driver.

I have owned it for 5 years and in that time I have spent more money than I would like to add up modifying it haha. Literally the only thing original on this vehicle is the frame and body.

Last winter I swapped the original 4.0L for a low mileage 5.3L vortec and 4l60e from a mid 2000's Silverado. Engine runs amazing. TONS of power, which combined with the locked front diff, the 15" stretched wheel base and 35" tires makes this thing unstoppable off-road.

The jeep is ready to run, just did all the fluids this spring. The front axle needs a new passenger side axle seal, but that's the only problem I'm aware of.

Drives very good on the highway considering what it is. Cruises comfortably at 110, however the hardtop could use some sound deadening installed as it is quite loud on the highway.

I can guarantee I missed some things in this list, but it gives you an idea of the extent of modification.

Still for sale, Price drop to $9000 for forum members.

Just had it out at Mclean this weekend for a quick run up top of the world, ran great, no issues.
Has a full tank of gas, ready to go.

dropped it to 8500. I'm open to offers as I'd like to get going on my XJ overland build.
