You better get some gas.

Yeah except I have a full tank :(((( The engine is running in that picture lol

Is this a test to see which warning lights are operational ?(looks like they all work!)

What size are the battery cables? I might have some eyelets for them - mine don’t have those five letters on them like the ones in your pic tho. Mine only has three letters on them starting with ‘U’.

Nah, that’s the root of the problem. Some point during operation the jeeps electrical system just goes crazy and then I get this

Take your spinny bits, put them into this, forget about the other problem

It’s… white…

I’ll take the wiry bits out of that lol

Luke,

White is the best colour in Texas - just get limo tint on most of the glass!
If you get the above ground lift and the jeep - I’ll help you get the lift to the space on my car trailer!

lol you want him to throw in the lift too?

Isn’t your german car black?

White paint is an easier problem to fix than a full-body wiring transplant.

I feel like I’ve seen and inspected so much wire at this point i’m already there. It has to be a faulty module hidden somewhere

Here’s where all of them hide

Ok so do I just replace them all over time? Any way to test?

Looks like the MIC is the next to replace.

Wonder if I could just unplug it and see if it still happens

Yes on both!
If he throws in the lift - that would make the jeep worth buying, if no lift - I’d suggest a older Nissan pathfinder or an older Toyo 4runner - preferably before the OBDII garbage.
Two of my German cars are black(one is white, 1 tan,1 blue,1 light blue,2 are yellow, and my truck is red) when buying pre-owned once doesn’t have the option of which colour.

I had a WD21 Pathfinder, and while I loved it enough to buy it twice, I don’t know if I’d be willing to trade the dead reliability they offer for the daily comfort the seats in my Grand offer. Or the gurgling V8 noises it makes.

Then again…

(Of course, they’re belt timed, so I have no idea what he’s on about when he says “new timing chain”)

Those pictures were taken with a potato

It’s craigslist. Every picture was taken with a potato.

Real estate photos are even better. I swear they do some downsize-upsize thing multiple times then add graininess. Can hide a lot of unwantedness that way such as pet stains the size of Montana, fist-shaped holes in sheetrock, and glass that barely qualifies as translucent any more,
