Why would anyone want to drive on a jersey beach. End up with a syringe in your tire.

Just moved to the Lewes area and I have my 2 door Wrangler JK. Just need to find some local trails or get on the beaches. I'm also new to the 4x4 and Jeep world, but it's been a dream so far. If anyone knows of any gatherings in Sussex County, please let me know. Email me at kingkrawczyk@yahoo.com.
Welcome. Hope this helps,

What are you basing the mileage on?
Unless you have an electronic recalibrator your odometer will be off.
Ding, Ding, Ding We have a winner.! My thoughts exactly from the OP first post.RPM vs tire size vs speed is just a small part of the equation.

Contact this guy THE LIFT MEISTER he builds high quality after market lifts parts.He may be able to hook you up. I just ordered a body lift for my TB and will be getting his wheel adapters in a couple weeks.

1997 Jeep Cherokee (XJ)
220K Miles
4.0 L in-line 6
4WD
AUTOMATIC Transmission
Bright Red
Straight Stock
Crank Windows, no cruise, no tilt, no delay wiper, no nonsense
POWER MIRRORS! Woo Hoo!$1750
Here's the deal, kids:
This is a Jeep Cherokee. This is not a luxury SUV, or a maintenance-free disposable import. It has solid front axles, wind noise, and character.
It's a Jeep. It rides like a Jeep. It drives like a Jeep. All of these are GOOD things.
It is not new, it is not pristine, it is used. This will be apparent in the pictures.If you do not own a toolbox, have never changed your own oil, and are scared of firearms: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you have been posting on facebook all about how excited you are for pumpkin latte season: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you get offended easy and often, whine to your co-workers, and bitch a lot: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you feel you are owed anything in the world & have a bullshit job where you fail to produce: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you own a bieber album, white oakleys, affliction t-shirts, or those candy-assed stitched-pocket jeans: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.
If you consider the 2nd Amendment an anachronistic relic and have never owned a firearm: THIS VEHICLE IS NOT FOR YOU.If, however, you have BALLS OF STEEL and consider adverse weather an excuse to do stupid shit: THIS IS YOUR JEEP.
Do you laugh at danger, and tempt fate?
Have you ever uttered the words, "Hold my beer and watch this ..."?
While bored at work do you pick targets at random and think, "I could hit that from here with the .22 ..."?
Have any of your friends quit hanging out because you were too much fun?
Do you have the number of a friend with cash memorized for bail?
When you pass an abandoned flatbed farm truck along a fenceline do you consider taking on another project?
Is your ol' lady really sick of the random piles of parts, greasy footprints, and empty beer bottles in the garage?
-could you not care less?
Do you have Jalopnik saved on your laptop AND smartphone?
Do you own a service manual for every vehicle you ever owned?
Do you still miss your first ride?
Can you carry on a two hour conversation discussing tools, scars, and hi-lift jacks?
Remember when tool companies had the balls to put half-naked beauty queens on their calendars?
Do you consider the Prius an abominable affront to the Gods of displacement, torque, and All Mighty Internal Combustion?If you answered in the affirmative to the preceding: THIS IS YOUR JEEP.
DETAILS:
-I am the second owner. First owner barely got it dirty and engaged the front axles once.
-I have remedied this excessive caretaking with muddy roads and a pile of fun.
-The motor uses a little oil. How much? I don't know, I'm not collecting statistical analysis points.
I check the oil, I fill the oil, I drive. Not enough to bother me.
-It leaks a little oil. How much? Not enough for me to care. It has 220,000 miles, Poindexter!
If you have a vehicle with 220K NOT leaking or burning oil, it's empty!
-Rear bumper has a big-ass crease in it. I dented it backing into a concrete pole. Sober.
We drove away giggling, for the record. Haven't fixed it.
-Driver's side door was caught by the wind, whipped forward, got into the LF quarter panel.
-Radiator has a small leak. Pinhole. I can replace the radiator or you can. Really doesn't matter
A new radiator and hoses will run $145. If you don't want to replace them I will.
Add $250 to the price of vehicle. This includes radiator, hoses, and labor (beer). A freaking bargain.
-The badass little 4.0L bullet-proof in-line six starts and runs like the proverbial champ.
-Tranny and 4WD operate perfectly
-Tires will need replaced in a couple thousand miles. I haven't upgraded because I had plans:
Had planned a small lift, upgrade to 17" Wrangler wheels, and more aggressive tires.
Life got in the way - it ain't happening.
-Zombie stickers on the right rear window stay. My daughter's idea, take it up with her.
-Flogging Molly sticker stays as well. They kick ass, so there.QUESTIONS:
-Why are you selling?
I can't justify owning it anymore. Motorsickles, kiddos, work, travel, and beer have consumed my time and money.
Someone else needs to appreciate the Jeep for what it is: awesome mechanical artistry.-What's wrong with it?
Radiator. Small oil leaks. Driver's side door cosmetic issues.
And it's pissed it has been neglected and parked. It needs rescued.-Does the 4WD work?
Hell yes. Like a Dickensian Orphan.-Will you sell me the [engine / tranny / rear door / axle / etc.]?
No. I'm not in the salvage business. Buy the Jeep. Love the Jeep. Give the Jeep a home.-Will you take [insert ridiculously stupid low number here]?
No. If I wanted [ridiculously low number] I would have asked [ridiculously low number]
Want a cheap car? Get your kid that lowered tuner piece of shit honda project down the road.
I think I'm plenty cheap for this bad mofo.-Why is it still stock?
Because I bought it for a daily driver with the intention of turning it into a project.
I haven't had the time to do so. So I am selling it.-Can I put a 6" lift and giant tires on it?
I don't give a shit. But be sure to use quality components and for God's sake - get it aligned after a lift!-Would this make a good car for my daughter?
Hell. Yes. Not only a good car, a learning experience. Introduction to vehicular maintenance.
Additionally, there isn't really enough room in the back for that little bastard she's dating to try anything.-Can you deliver?
Within reason. I'd drive it a hundred miles or so. But really, you should come get it. Look it over. Have a beer. Etc.-Will you take a check / cashier's check / Western Union Transfer / Nigerian Promissory Note?
Would you take a ball pein hammer to the forehead?
No. I'll take Cash. Period. Bring cash or don't show.-Will you ship to -?
No. See above.-No, really, all I have is [lowball dollar amount]?
That's great, I don't give a shit. Unicef ain't running this deal, and until they do I want $1750.
Why? Because I don't HAVE to sell this little beauty. Truth be known, I'd rather keep it.
But if it's going to a good home - I will sell. Unless you're an asshole - then no sale.-Why are you such a dick?
Everything is relative; you should see my friends -

I'm interested PM Sent

I think the the price is very high. $5-6k is more like it.
Quotehow I'd get it back here.
[size=1.45em]U Ship[/size][size=2]I think you could find something with-in a half days drive just as appealing. Something like this CJ http://delaware.craigslist.org/cto/3972893341.html.
and then give it a 5K make over.[/size]

when I sold my '82 CJ8 Scrambler Laredo
I won't hold that against you, Welcome -
Something to think about if I get the scrambler done by then.
-
Not a whole lot got done this past weekend. I had to work on Saturday and dealing with an ailing family pet didn’t leave much free time. I did get the firewall drilled for the heater blower motor & the hydraulic clutch master cylinder located and drilled. Now just need to get it cleaned up for paint.
QuoteIf you have a hydroboost set up why not use it?
I'm just gonna wait until I get everything set up for the 44 frontend. Then I’ll do it all: disc, hydro & 44 in the front.QuoteI'm running Wagoneer Dana 44s and think the width is perfect;
I’m looking at many different options on that. I already have a 31 spline 9” in the rear so it’s just a matter if I will shorten a 44 or just buy one already set up. One with all new hardware compared to my time hunting one down and dealing with used parts. At one time I did have a set of dana 60's that I let go But I'm not ruling out maybe looking for another set. -

What were you thinking about brakes?
Well, stay with manual brakes and rebuild the master cylinder and replace all line's. Or install a power booster assembly which I have on hand, Or go with a Hydro-Boost system which I also have on hand. It all comes down to how much time i have. But replacing all the lines is a must! You see I live in Lewes but I work and stay in PA during the week so the only time I have for the 8 is the weekend.All the hardware for 4 wheel disc I also have but I'm thinking of maybe changing the rears out in the future
