08 JK trail special 60k, chopped/camo $8300 NJ
Original owner, been used lightly off road, commuter and bike hauler. Bumper covers gone, fenders chopped, 4.88 gears with HD rear covers, roll bar chopped, has rear hardtop with freedom panels missing, soft targa in the works, includes soft doors and I have one full hard pass side door. Rear tails converted to rounds in diamondplate corners. 6 speed manual, bone stock engine, has Magnaflow cut in to stock downpipe. Front & rear 2" hitches installed.
Rear seat out and beat up from storing outside.
Wheels are Wheel Vintiques custom solid steelies in 16x8 with Kuhmo 32" tires at about 50%.
Rattle can camo paint on it, originally black but scratched from bushes/branches. Needs a new clockspring as it always gets wet in rain.
Fun truck, not a pristing mall limo, more of a woods rat.

Interesting Jeep... but I just don't get the removal of the roll bars? W/o the roll bars, seems it can never again be used for a serious trail? Were they just "removed" and can be added back? Or are they gone for good?
my 2 cents.

Hi guys. I'm in Ringwood, NJ, 07456.
Rollbar was cut out, I was never interested in really hard core off road, up here we live in a really rock infested area and besides being illegal to even venture off the few legal dirt roads, I wasn't into adding thousands in skids and heavy axels just to keep it alive. My plan did include a future bar custom made in the shape of a single hoop like an older style 4x4. I was kinda shooting for a 60s look and nobody has ever guessed it was a 2008, most say the early 70s at the latest.
I'l have my kid add more pics later. As it sits it is an awesome street cruiser and looks great to me. Retirement loons and I should get down to one car if I can so that is the only reason it is even offered. Nothing like driving this, reminds me of my 73 CJ I had as a kid. The JK cage made me feel like I was trapped inside it. At first I removed the door frame bars only in the summer. Eventually they were out for good and the rest followed. Being wide open is more dangerous, (I race/ride motorcycles so I can live with the risk) but it is as close to being on a street bike without a leather jacket & gloves & helmet & boots as I have found. Blows any other convertible away!
Thanks for asking. Jim
