I didn't see any suggestions for paint on the new Jeep so let me recommend military green. A Jeep looks best when it goes back to its roots and modern Jeeps with old school colors and styling, in a throwback tribute, look amazing. That is what I would like to see for it. Awesome video and thanks for reminding us that killer deals are still out there!

I put bedrug flooring in my TJ and in my old CJ. It is way better than carpet in my opinion. It resembles carpet, but is waterproof and easier to clean. It also deadens road noise a lot.

Good grief…
As a Arizona, Texas guy, I cant wrap my head around that amount of rust (or any rust actually).

That’s simply unthinkable. I guess that’s why there are ZERO cheap JEEPS like that here.
Our cheap Jeeps will be rollovers or collisions mostly not repairable for the amount needed to fix them.

Jeeps are basically anywhere you look here, BUT people keep them, especially guys like me. We stop registering them and use them for farm use. (most UTVS suck and can’t handle the weight of lots of tools or hay plus dragging trailers around). Plus the newer UTVs are so big and expensive (but gutless compared to a JEEP) it makes no sense to buy them to me. I went that route for a while and got very aggravated at loss of use because of breakdowns and hard to get (expensive cheap built parts). I sold both my UTVs.

I was basically like the kid you bought silver Jeep from. I was over it and never will own one again more than likely. When 2 are constantly breaking it makes no sense to keep that cycle of stupidity going.

So… cheap Jeeps just have a very small market here, and good Jeeps hold their value too well at times. Most the time for what I need it’s easier to bite the bullet and buy new or nearly new. Nearly new is IFFY because I have been shopping hard lately and seeing lots of abuse.
A lot of repos are hitting the market but they are usually out of warranty and obviously they haven’t been cared for at all.
That is never an always thing, BUT the good clean repos are priced at very (very) high end retail or higher… That’s not a deal at all, it’s sort of a rip off, usually without warranty.

There is a Jeep very close to age and miles of the silver one here on Craigslist
2006 Saraha w/ hard top 180k miles (decent shape, not great at all).
It sold before I called for 15,500.00
That’s the difference in the markets across different regions I guess?

Cheap Jeeps for me are gonna be far off places but if they have that much rust I wouldn’t consider loading it on the trailer. I’m not a rust guy.

A bold "Guy Move!" What you did was the equivalent of a "Good Samaritan Move" . Like picking up 3 puppies that were in serious need of a new home and it needed to happen fast. Any Jeep lover worth their salt respects what you did. Carry On Sir!
