As the title says I would like some friendly advice on whether I should return her to stock before selling. Its advertised with the mods for now... Here is the link http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=51248 there are quite a few mods but nothing permanent.

Thanks,
Erik

How will you be selling it?

If you are selling it to someone here who can appreciate the mods for what they are... Then leave it upgraded.
If you are selling it to ANYONE ELSE or trading it at a dealer... STOCK, and sell the mods on here separately.

I did not vote in the poll, b/c neither option truly fit.

Having sold several personal vehicles with extensive mods, stick with it and hold your ground. The serious person who appreciates the mods will find you and come up with the money. Those who do not do serious rebuilds like Sir Sam who rescues valuable resources that would otherwise go to the bone yards, are mostly Flippers who make a fast buck by buying from Idiots Cheap, detailing the car, fixing nothing, and selling high. Blow these people off and tell them to have a "Nice Day" (and tell them to go to hell with your eyes as you smile) after they insult you with low ball offers.
Craig's list is better than ebay in my opinion for selling cars, I have had much better luck.

Ideally I would like to find someone who could appreciate the mods. The poll is a bit ambiguous, but I 've posted it here first hoping to find a buyer. Any comments about the price? I have see them sell close to this bone stock....

Thanks for the advice so far everyone!
