You are bidding on one of the most capable rock crawling buggies available in the Maritimes. This 1995 Jeep was bought dealer new and I am the original owner. It was turned into a rock buggy about 4 years ago. This buggy was purpose built, and extensively and succesfully used, for one thing: rock crawling. At this it excels like few other vehicles. This is no trailer queen, it has been used to conquer the most difficult trails in the Maritimes and is loaded with battle proven, reliable components. It has also been built with an eye towards readily available and easily found parts. Very few custom pieces on this machine, save for the transmission adapter.
This vehicle has conquered the hardest trails in the maritimes, and I have the pictures, videos, and testimonials to prove it.
In addition to the rig, I have a trailer that is available, which is perfect for this rig. I am not listing it until after the rig sells (so I don't somehow end up with a rig and no way to transport it), but if you are interested in that we can negotiate for it. With everything included, you can pick it up one day and drive onto the hardest trails the next. This rig needs nothing and is ready to go.
Anywhere.
The trail pictures are from last year. Since then I added one piece racing seats, together with the internal tube framing to support them, and 4 point harnesses. The rest of the pictures were just taken on the 18th of May.
Buyer pays for all shipping charges. I accept PayPal. If you are buying the trailer, I would be willing to deliver as far as the US or Quebec border for the cost of gas. Otherwise I can ship it however you want, at buyer's expense.
I have more pictures and videos I can send if you want them, just email me. Send me any questions.
