So it looks like I'm going to have to part ways with my beloved wheeler/driver/family wagon. I put it over on the passenger side and did it right this time. I dont have the room, time or money to chop and cage it. I'm now left with parting it out or selling it to someone who has the wherewithal and resources to make it a dedicated wheeler. I bought it about 4 years ago as an unlocked low mileage (98k miles) 80 that spent most of its life in Texas as a corporate fleet grocery getter. I bought it from the secondish owner that bought it sight unseen and had it shipped to slee to rack up a $6200 bill for lift, axle rebuilds, new brakes, oil leak fixes et all. I have a copy of the work done and it was extensive. Ive since done many many many upgrades and changes to it. Ive kept detailed service and maintenance records of all that's been done since Ive had it. As it sits today there's 122k miles on it. It's been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned considering the fun Ive had with it. I put an rear Aussie locker and center locker button in right when I got it. Ive also run the gambit on lifts but ended up with J's and 30mm spacers front and rear. Some but not all of the mods are: ARB front bumper, 12k winch, metal tech sliders, slee belly pan and rear HD lower control arms, 4x4 labs rear bumper, drawers in back, 315 Cooper st max with 8k miles as well as other stuff I cant remember off the top of my head. This rig has never left me stranded and in fact, after I put it on its side, I duct taped the windshield and ended up towing my buddies jeep back out because it wouldn't start (again). I then drove the 80 on the back highway 2.5 hours to my buddies house without any issues at all. If I had a place to keep it I would either part it out or repair it, add a front locker and trailer it to wheel. So...realistically what is it worth as it sits? It's a shame to let such a low mileage rig that's got a ton of life left be set out to pasture.
