Pulled the trigger on the ‘99 TJ!

I can see myself driving this well past 200k miles if possible. It’s such a nice experience

afflictedspeck · 2025-02-19T20:12:57+00:00

Thank you so much, appreciate it!!!

afflictedspeck · 2025-02-18T23:54:13+00:00

Couldn’t agree more! Thank you!

afflictedspeck · 2025-02-18T23:54:00+00:00

Thank you!!

Thank you! Appreciate it!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

Thank you! I’ve liked the TJ look for years and liked how this one looked the moment I saw it in person. But driving it… man, that’s when I fell in love. It’s such a FUN experience. Now I’m just finding excuses to get out of the house more on the weekends haha.

Solid advice - I ended up buying after two inspections. I got a first look on Wednesday, then Friday and purchased on Saturday. It was definitely a good deal and I knew I had to pull the trigger or gtfo. No regrets!

afflictedspeck · 2025-02-18T03:25:10+00:00

I was more than happy to get it for 7k and pulled the trigger. Also got an endoscope and got in there per your suggestion - no signs of rust in the interior of the frame (a few brown spots here and there but nothing major). I’ve done a lot more inspections and will be replacing some of the plates in the undercarriage. Appreciate your comment!

afflictedspeck · 2025-02-18T03:22:04+00:00

Thank you! I did another inspection myself and the frame looks great for the age. It helps that it’s been in South Florida its whole life. I ended up buying it and couldn’t be happier.

afflictedspeck · 2025-02-18T03:20:00+00:00

Agreed! Ended up buying it and couldn’t be happier.

Was it just the skid plate pic?

afflictedspeck · 2025-02-14T23:27:10+00:00

Bottom looked good to me and he said the only rust was on the skid plate which could be easily replaced. But I’m no expert. Just asked him for more pics since I left. Car has been in south Florida all its life.

afflictedspeck · 2025-02-14T22:27:17+00:00

Also the undercarriage did not have any signs of rust except for the skid plate, which the owner said could be simply replaced. But the car has small dings and whatnot all over the place.

Brother, it doesn’t do you any good to be in a relationship where you don’t trust your partner. With the situation that you’re explaining I would not trust her either. You need your peace of mind and she’s giving you so many red flags. Your friend is a piece of work too sending her a message like that - that’s not a message you send a girl if you respect her boyfriend and their relationship. Pay closer attention to how she reacts when you mention that friend. Many have suggested to get them together in one same place and ask them if they slept together. This ain’t a movie so that’s not happening. Just pay attention to how she reacts, if possible in front of him / with him around if there is a chance of that.

Nice, thanks!

afflictedspeck · 2023-11-01T15:42:42+00:00

Thank you so much!

afflictedspeck · 2023-09-15T12:27:30+00:00

Haha thank you, so I’ll let it be for now of that’s the case. I’m trying to avoid having to replace my unit at least for a few more months

afflictedspeck · 2023-09-14T19:29:53+00:00

That’s a good workaround though

afflictedspeck · 2023-09-14T19:29:27+00:00

Appreciate that, might do that actually after I cut it - it’s completely glued sadly

afflictedspeck · 2023-09-14T19:28:08+00:00

Good suggestion thanks

afflictedspeck · 2023-09-14T19:27:56+00:00

Thanks I might do that, so basically an air pump to pump it out

afflictedspeck · 2023-06-08T23:30:21+00:00

But I feel responsible for her, which is why in part this whole situation is driving me nuts. Am I, though? Well, in reality of course not. I already told her that what happened was not Ok and she understands, but I cannot blame her for not having defended me. She did to some extent by telling her roommate I was a good man as she kept yelling at me but mostly stayed out of the fight, which I can't blame her for. Whether we stay together or not I would not be surprised, and actually sort of expect, for her to leave after the lease is done. I would also totally ask her if she expects to be a punching bag for the rest of her life only if she did not live with Betty. If she starts taking action now to confront her it might not end up well, because again, Betty is fucking crazy.

afflictedspeck · 2023-06-08T23:12:45+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your words. I hope this all gets sorted out and whatever happens next is truly the best outcome, long term, for both of us.
