Chrome fricking grill...yea. The only thing on my truck that's dipped are the front Toyota emblem and the rear bumper. Makes it look way better, not even a matter of opinion...it just does
I would leave the grill as is. And even the hood latches. I would replace those mirror mount hinges though. I even had some stainless on my old YJ. It was just the hood latch and the windshield tie downs though. My bumpers and nerf bars were black.

Nope. Honestly you wouldn't even know I did anything to it.
Other things may look ugly to you, but the black rear bumper, which comes factory on the cheaper models, and a blacked front emblem absolutely aren't. I bought a color matched grill surround and sold the chrome one on eBay.

hey guys, this is embarrassing to ask, but i'm a bit worried. i've been going over the paperwork for this jeep and it has a "Rebuilt" status on the title. Which my research tells me it's been salvaged and "refurbished". eh, not really a big deal at first since it's going to be a "beat around" type of vehicle.
well, it was issued as a "rebuilt" title in Ohio and then registered in Texas (i currently have the Texas title). will there be an inspection process for when i go to get it registered in alabama or is the hard part done? will i be able to get a tag just like any other vehicle with a "clean" status?
I should've done more research on the front end, but you live and learn...

I don't think Alabama does inspections. At least I've never had one. You show up with the proper documentation and you can get a tag/title. Even if that documentation is forged and as fake as can be. As long as it looks right to the highly motivated government worker you're good to go.

you sound like a buddy of mine.
so, you have with buying vehicles with rebuilt titles?
Posted on 4/12/16 at 6:50 pm to finchmeister08
It wasn't rebuilt but my parents signed over a vehicle to me. Something was messed up with the signatures. They were simply giving it to me but I had to technically have a bill of sale. So they typed up a bill of sale. On the title she signed it over to Rob and on the bill of sale it said Robert. I had to have this form notarized for her signature and mine stating she meant Robert when she signed to Rob. And somehow the notary messed that part up. I finally just made new documents, got a girl at work to sign my mothers name, had it all notarized by our secretary who was a notary, and took that in. On like my 4th trip to the DMV. It was as fake as it could be but it checked all the boxes they were looking for.

Now is the time to get one. Many owners offloading in the economic downturn.

Can I ask a stupid question?
What exactly is the difference between CJ, TJ, And YJ Wranglers?
Also nice find. Interesting that he put a Vet engine in it. I would probably buy that if I saw it.

Think of each one as an updated version of the last model. As improvements make their way across the industry they will make a new model. CJs were the beginning model till 86, YJ 87-95, TJ 96-06, JK 07-current.
The overall design and features of the vehicles are improved, except square headlights
Otherwise you're looking at newer electronics, more available features, etc. Nice thing is you can still get the base model with minimal bells and whistles so to speak and not have the Jeep purists mad at you for something new and shiny

They made CJ (Civilian Jeep) in a variety of models, starting with the CJ-2a back after WW2. The most popular ones made for the longest were the CJ-5 and CJ-7. I think I read one time they made CJ-5s for over 30 years. CJ-7 started in the 70s, and they made them up until they started calling them Wrangler. The YJ Wrangler is most similar to the CJ-7 in terms of wheelbase and body style. They made YJ's from 86-95, and had the rectangle headlights. The TJ was produced from 1997-2006, and went back to the round headlights and added coil suspension instead of Leaf springs.

The older they are, the less shite there is to break, and the easier to fix.

Unless you get one with the BA10 (pugeot) transmission. I hear it's shite. That's why they went with the AX15 after '89.

I like chrome on a truck, but this jeep grill and mirrors needs to be color matched. Chrome just doesnt fit on a Jeep for me.
But the black bumbers, wheels, and everything else is hideous to me. JMHO

I think cracked heads on some years. Most of the Inline 6 engines are pretty much bulletproof. There was also an issue with the Oil Pump Drive Assembly, commonly abbreviated OPDA on many of the Jeep forums. I think that was for the last couple or three years on a TJ. '04-'06.

Nice.
My favorite is an LJ. One if these days I'll have one.

I was close to buying one back in 2006. Ended up getting a Grand Cherokee instead, but I sort of wish I had now. Of course I ended up with my TJ but sometimes I would like a little more room.
Which leads me to say, my favorite, even way back when I was a teenager, was the Scrambler. I'll get one eventually, even if I have to work on it to fix it up.
