I've got a good lead on a replacement YJ for my old beat up rusty old girl.  Its a 93YJ with very low KM, pretty much stock with no rust.  Its been kept in a heated underground garage and not driven for a few years (3 or 4 now).  Comes with hard and soft top, full doors and half doors.  Not sure what a good price would be or what to be wary of and look for on a vehicle that's been sitting around for a while.

Thoughts?

I'm thinking that this might be a good unit to lift and take off road.

if you want to wheel your beat up old rusty one is a much better option ;)

toss some lift springs and 33s on it, and go have fun!

if its been sitting check tires for dry rot, or cracks in the sidewalls. anything rubber could be dried out. even engine seals dont like sitting idle for long periods of time. leaks develop quick. make sure there arent any extra friends that made a home in the jeep.
what are the details? engine? tranny? t-case?
