    Pretty sure this thing has been for sale for years at this price (if not there’s a twin CJ3B that appears on the local Craigslist from time to time). Surprised they are still trying to get this amount of money for it after all this time.

    That could be the case. I’ll see if I can find a past post. Thanks!

    Anyone out there know where this jeep is currently? I built it in the seattle area and am interested in buying it back. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Carl,

    It certainly has some of the hallmarks of a PNW jeep (Diamond plate and roll cage for starters). I haven’t seen this 3B relisted lately, but if I do see it listed again, I will drop you an email.

    Thanks,
