Question Need Your Help. Buying Used Modified Unlimited Rubicon

I need your help on this one. I am looking at buying this Jeep Wrangler posted below.
2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, $34,444 - Cars.com

Here is the information I have on it and can tell from the photos.
1. Has 8 bolt HMMWV wheels on adapters
2. 37" tires
3. Needs Evap relocation
4. Only has stock rear bumper and Stock Rubicon Tire = Worthless
5. Does not know if it has better gears
6. It has a Rock Krawler Suspension but don't know to the extent of the lift.

My thoughts are right away I will need rear bumper/Tire carrier, matching 5th rim and tire, Evap relocation kit, Gears and C-Gussets.

What do you guys think about this one? I have analyzed this but need more opinions from the crew.

Looks nice. If it's what you are looking for then I wouldn't hesitate. If you find things that need to be changed/upgraded then you can do that as you go - part of the fun of owning a Jeep. I would definately address the spare right away but as far as the gearing, drive it for awhile and see what you think. Thats really not a critical fix right away. Just my .02. Best of luck to you.

Can you even get Baja T/A's in that tread pattern anymore? I think they changed them. Other than that, I would think that's a fair price for what you're getting. It's probably RK's 3.5" lift. Doesn't look tall enough to be 5.5". EVO 1/4 pounder front bumper and steel flat fenders(PSC maybe?).

Why do the seats not match the interior? They do not look like covers but are not the dark saddle/black and brown like the rest. Just wandering

Yeah I am going to head out there tomorrow and see if I can make anything happen on this and see what condition it is in. I know you can still pick up tires online so I may have to make some moves.

Thanks for the input so far.
