I am interested in this ride and I have no knowledge of the J10's. What are some of the J10 specific questions I should ask? I would use the J10 for light trails, and light hauling, yard cleanup etc.. I have a '95 YJ that I use as my winter DD & light trail rig in the summer. Summertime is when I ride my motorcycles and bicycles. Is the 3" BL as wrong on the J10 as on a YJ?

Thanks,

I'd ask him when a good time to pick it up would be.
Looks like a good deal. I'd be leary of underneath condition, rust wise, since it is a northern truck. If it is a daily driver now or close to it then snatch it up. Trucks that sit most of the time are sitting because of a reason. Once they start sitting seems they go down hill in a hurry.

Ask what gearing is in it while you are at it. 3:54 or somewhere close works nice for a J truck especially with 33's on it. Don't think I'd want to go with higher gears with that size tire.

Now go get it and report back here with alot of pictures.. PRONTO !!!!!!:drivin: :fsj: :thumbsup:

Not a bad looking truck but you should remove that "terrible" looking muscle grill 1st thing and send it down to me. :cool:

Welcome fellow Minnesotan!

I just moved from Shakopee to Rochester MN last year.

Funny, I missed that one on craigslist.
Looks pretty good for a MN truck

I'd look at bed seams and floor pans as they rust out easily.

3" BL isn't a great thing, I'd get rid of it and throw in a 2-4" spring lift

Looks like a good deal if not rusty
