Its called "FRAUD" and I'm pretty sure there are other laws about rolling back the numbers as well or even knowingly messing with a speedometer for fraudulent purposes. If the person that bought his jeep saw his ad he'd be in a lot of trouble. Also if CJA was smart they would wipe this whole post so that no one gets any ideas and then claims they got it from their web site!

I'm too honest to do something like that on purpose...

Post by: zjay on August 14, 2008, 09:18:39 PM: yea man it sucks, my bro bought a zj a few years back. When he was installing the stereo he took the cluster out to run some wires. Found some tape on it that said actual km +30000 or somthing along thoes lines. He was pretty fumed, at least the p/o offerd to buy it back or give him like 500 or 1000 back cause he just forgot to mention it.
