I just noticed this Wrangler for 12K- I don't know anything about it, just passing this along. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/alainexpats/message/6786

Good Luck,

You beat me to it Mark - btw 12,000 is a bit much for this car, I would go for a lower offer.

Thanks a lot to all of you for your help.

I decided to not wait for another car and I bought the grand Cherokee V8 seen last week.

I have checked radiator and engine, no leak no smoke. I hope no bad surprise will come.

There is no bash plate under the engine, and I don t know below the transmission and tank. Is it easy and cheep to install?

I am really excited to be part of trip very soon.

Regards,

Nicolas

Mabrook Nicolas .....great to hear you took the plunge and are now set for the drives.

Look forward to having you on our trips. It was a pleasure to have you as a passenger with me in Dec.

I'll let the Jeep brigade answer your queries as I have no expertise in this area.

Post some pictures of the ride

Skid plates/bash plates are easy to install if you can get hold of them. The front one (under the radiator) is held on with 4 bolts (15mm) and the transmissiion/transfer case plate is attached with 3 bolts (also 15mm). As for the fuel tank skid plate on my Grand Cherokee, I'm not sure how that's attached.

This is a great place to ask questions - and so is http://www.jeepforum.com . Where are you based? Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dubai or somewhere else?

If you know a good garage not to far, I will go for some check up and small modif if need be.
