I've been a member of the mothership since 2006 without an FSJ to show for it!
I tried to sell/trade a couple of built wranglers for a nice Wagoneer but never found the right deal. Finally, back in June I ran across a great deal on a 2001 5.3/4L60E combo and decided it was time to get serious. I searched the classified ads on IFSJA, Jeep Forum, Pirate, craigslist, etc. Many of the candidates looked good but the trip for a rust-free example usually involved a minimum of 500 miles round trip with most of the excellent examples over 2000 miles.
Eventually I heard about a 1981 Waggy at a local offroad shop that had been sitting since it arrived from California several years ago. I went to look at it, made an offer, received a counter and settled on the price. This was about 6 weeks ago. Excited to take it home and get started, disappointment crept in. TITLE PROBLEMS! Long story short, the Jeep finally came home with a clear title in my name yesterday.
