Quote: There is no way he will find an LJ anywhere near the price of a comparable ZJ, XJ or even TJ. And while I would go to a TeeJ or build another LJ in a heartbeat, OP's intended use sure doesn't look like a Wrangler type of situation. Heck, I DDed my M715 on Boggers into 20" miles into downtown Chicago every day, so what do I know?
The 5.9s have dropped in price like crazy. Rare ≠ Desirable. Most that were in the market for a 'Niner to build have moved on to SRT 8 Grands. If another sub $2K Niner comes up when I have the disposable cash, and a spot in the stable, I will buy it.
I was looking at the LJ's on CL and they're pricey. At least $10k and all of them were automatics.
Here are the one's that are local. Note that the 4500 I mentioned earlier were specific CA Emissions one...
I think I'm still leaning towards the ZJ, but am looking into the Ramcharger. It seems like they have a better towing capacity and aftermarket than the Durango.
