I'd encourage everyone to watch the Walk Around video to get a good idea of how clean this Jeep is.\r\n\r\nAll servicing and repairs were performed at Collins Brothers Jeep in Wylie, Texas, the nationally known experts on everything CJs. The Jeep has been babied, always garaged, never off road and only taken out in perfect weather, mainly to pick the kids up from school. I'm only selling to free up some garage space and I know that I'll be sad to see it go.\r\n\r\nI'll be back in town this weekend and will be sure to add a Cold Start video and a Driving video.\r\n\r\n@kobayashimaru it's a rust-free all steel tub. I'll be sure to depict the gauges in the upcoming videos and make sure you can hear the V8!\r\n\r\n@MikeLongIslandNY I appreciate the kind words!
