I work For a Towing/Recovery Company, sometimes we get lucky. It was involved in an Owner Financed deal, (with one of my bosses friends) payments quit coming in and I offered to pick it up if I could pay off the balance. I got the jeep and she got her money....oh...and the Delinquent owner had to walk home from Wal-Mart. I didn't even have to file for a Bonded Title.


Bonus!!!!! The chrome wheels were in the back.

Like I said just good luck! I started to resell it but decided to hang on to it.
NEW PROJECT!

Congrats...that's a steal. Was going to ask if it runs for that price, haha.

Thank you,
I figured it was a sweet deal for a Jeep
It Runs Great, had to replace front drive shaft, I took the air filter housing off and cleaned the intake around the TPS and now the check engine light does not come on. Everything works (except the power mirrors, and not sure why) the leather seats have no rips but do show signs of wear. Very minimal scratches. But I think it will be a great rig.

plenty of people have had luck with aussie lockers. he doesnt have much into the jeep anyway, he could replace the damaged parts a dozen and still be the cheapest build ever lol

fixed it for you. He should do it right the first time and spend the cash for 2 or 3 aussies on a good locker that won't grenade.

Thanks for the advice on the Aussie, I was unaware of the issues.
What locker are you running?

So its been almost a year since I have posted, I honestly had forgot about the Libby until a recent repo I did. So now it is time to kick it in gear, saddly its futher from completion than before.
