It has 300k miles but it was rebuilt 50k miles ago 4.0 HO 5speed it needs a clutch and fuel pump, it is a 92, has normal rust. I bought it for the engine for my 96 and for parts but the more I think about it I might transfer the lift and stuff off my 96 onto it and wheel it and make my 96 stock again? idk but I have two jeeps now 
I mean I only paid $200 so I could always part it out and get most of my money back, I will get some pics up later this week

....good luck with the build, you can't really go wrong with an intact jeep for $200. i just picked one up for $400 cuz it runs and it felt like a good idea haha its just sitting in the street right now no plates, or insurance lol
