I guess I need to buy a pair of glasses, because I can't see a thing!

Kelly Blue Book is $13500 in excellent condition and $12700 in good condition.  You can't ever expect to get out what you put into a vehicle moneywise if you're the seller.  Lift kits and such don't necessarily increase the value of a truck.  I definately wouldn't pay the $17k for buy it now.

That's a pretty cool looking ride.


You might want to buy a step latter so that you can get into the truck if you plan on buying it.

i wouldnt get it  but then i problly  would cause its go the extra set of tires and the lift is pretty big but you would need to put a set of exhaust tips on there and prolly a tranfer case depending on how often you wheel

well I dont know much but I always thought that if you were going to do some serious offroading that those two blocks stacked in the rear are not to wise so probably would want to get rid of those and after you do that and spend the money to do the lift the right way i dont think it would be worth 17k I would just buy a great jeep for like 5000 and save some money and have a great trail rider
