i'm lookin for something for the wife. maybe an old 73-86 chevy truck or blazer, maybe a sammy or tracker or toyota or something! near western pa under 1000 bucks. it doesn't need to be running. can anyone help?  

I'm sure you can find an XJ for about that runs and drives.  

check craigslist.com, you might find something there. your local grocery store usually has those free auto locator books out front, sometimes you can find deals in them.  

remembered this one too....autolocator.com  

thanx guys! i've spoken with the wife and she says she wants a jeep. i'm not too good with what the letters mean but i think it's a cj she wants. like yours chariot. any tips on what i should look for? i want something older and not at all computerized. thanx again!

You need to post pictures, or at least a description, ofthe wife. How else will people know if they want to trade?  

YOU DIRTY DOG!!! lol  

This is choppers wife i would like a jeep or a truck like his (actually its mine I claimed it) only better.  Oh yeah and BIGGER!!!  

now we got both of you hooked? LOL  

well mud she has been spending as much time on here as me lately posting rides.we went around locally asking neighbors to let us post their trucks here and why we wanted to do that. it worked out pretty well except for some strange looks! i think we got like 30 or so to post and as far as i'm concerned they count so we're gettin them up here. she got maybe half done and will finish today. but yeah i guess you got to deal with bith of us now! lol i'm lucky a man, she's into wheelin and lets me spend money on the truck and my bikes.  

well chopper, mines a 95 yj i got it for $7000 and a song. you might be able to find one out your way. the tj is a coil set up (like mud has), and he tells me that they ride alot nicer than my yj (leafsprung). either way, if you can find something from like 94 on up, you'll be in good shape.  

thanx chariot, i'll keep that in mind. i've been checking auto locator alot. they got some deals but i'm waitin for the right one.  

good deal, that's the way to do it. be sure to look it over real good too. some of the older jeeps (if you go that route) tend to rust bad at the body mount locations. also lift the floor mats, some folks forget to remove the drain plugs untill it's too late.....the floor pan is more of a viewing portal than a floor.  

thanx for the tips chariot, yeah i was thinkin on gettin an older straight axle. i think parts would be cheaper and more abundant too.  

I can tell you a nice vehicle that she would like.  Its a CJ8.  They are a Jeep but have a longer wheelbase with a pick up bed.  Sort of like a blazer.  There are so many different configurations for them.  Go to this page:
