FRAME REPAIR?? pics

only thing that would keep me from buying it is the motor. the frame is an easy fix.

don't drive it home, tow it. use that as a bargaining point as well. it's not road safe in its current state.

Does anyone want to make a few bucks and tow it for me? IT is in houston ohio which is bout 75 miles north of Hamilton. I am unfortunate enough to not have a tow vehicle.

That is literally right across the road from me. I will be traveling to the Lebanon/Red Lion area several times next week. I can get it to there for you for reasonable amount, not sure if I can get it to your home because I will have another employee with me each day.

I checked it out. Definetely needs the frame repair and probably a new rear end. Just pick up another D35 with 4.10s and swap it in or an 8.8 with 4.10s If you keep the D35, keep the shafts out of the current for spares.

I'll PM you my info.

I can tow it if you can cover gas + whatever extra we work out.
I live in Middletown so I'm not too far from ya.

513-317-2314 Call me this evening & we'll work something out.
I'm looking for a torpedo heater if you can get ahold of one?

Well I broke down and bought the jeep today! I think it is definitely worth what I paid for it. Jfiscus and jeephd whoever gets the lowest bid gets to tow it lol jp. Actually I am trying to get a hold of one of my buddies who has a trailer, but I might be getting with you guys soon. I am excited to start tearing stuff down! The rest of the frame was ok I even asked if I could have a hammer to beat on it to make sure no soft spots anywhere and there wasn't other than both side rear obviously.

I saw it was no longer sitting out along the road last night, figured someone bought it. What did you end up getting it for?
