That is a good thought. I've never owned a vehicle that stayed stock for long sofar my 89 Yj is still stock for the longest period I've owned it for 2 months. But I have been doing crazy amount of upkeep on it but I'm **** about that on all my vehicles

Hence the part where I said have it fully inspected, Ive seen stock jeeps just as big a pos as Modded. If its beat to hell inspection will show that. Od is right though about the head issues, I was just commenting on the attitude that stock jeeps are untouched virgins and anything modded is a dirty Ho!

I as a seasoned jeep owner would but a modified jeep hands down before a "stock jeep" I've seen how people treat stock vehicles that the just drive. Just like stated... they put gas in it till it quits running.

Well I went to look at it and It was beat to hell and all chopped up. The only good part was the brand new set of 33s so I passed on it but I bought this beauty with 125,000 miles for $3k 1998 classic 4x4
