Ugh. CJ's are overpriced to begin with... I'd give $5,500 for a clean relatively stock vehicle. slight lift, or other basic mod. However, that much for an Exocage, huge lift, too big tires, super tippy, etc.. Way to many things that could be done wrong. If I wanted a full on Crawler, I definitely would build it myself to make sure it was done right.

It's worth it for the d60, d44 and tires alone! Seems low but could be real price, he might want boat motor more!

I disagree, but that's me. Great axles, yes! But, you are pretty much stuck using them with a CJ. They are great nostalgic Jeep, but every Universal Jeep after them performs better on and offroad... Though you can get a brand new D44 and 60 front/rear form currie/Dyna-trac, etc for about the same price, and they are brand new, with choice of gears and lockers.

The swampers are also not to much use either to me... Where do you need 38's? Maybe on a fullsize rig, but on a SWB, you lose any to much of the trail with a tire that big.

Now the Tcase that's a different story!

I agree it's probably "tippy" and of course I'd have to look at and make sure it's lifted right ect.... but man that just seems like a steal to me?
