I found it on Craigs List...

[LWM]

Okay, over the past few days all kinds of people have shared some pretty funny stuff they found on Craigs List. One forum even had a thread about a WK for sale with a photo of a cool WK, the problem was the photo belongs to a members Jeep but the seller was NOT the owner.

Anyway... If you find something on Craigs List and think it is worth our attention share it here (this is not for real stuff for sale that you think we might be interested in buying, this is for stuff we might find funny or amusing).

Like; My idiot exboyfriend's awesome truck:

Members Jeep for sale.... only it is the members photo not his Jeep. Most likely a scam but interesting anyway.

It's been a while, so they're gone, but a couple of memorable ones I've seen are:

THREE LEGGED CAMERA TRIPOD. (As opposed to what? A FOUR legged tripod?!?)

MEAT RABBITS.

We did ten minutes here at the shop on that one. As in you can't go outside without being armed with a gun because of the dangerous, marauding, carnivorous, meat rabbits roaming around. The ad was of course referring to rabbits to be butchered and cooked, but the headline does bring up funny visuals. :)

Kind of like this?

lol this hits VERY close to home where I work. Definitely getting sent around the office tomorrow!

I should start by saying that if you are looking for a “Pajama party Barbie Jeep” you my friend, should keep looking. If you are looking for a short description of to the beast before you, I can offer you two words “MEAT & POTATOES”. This is the All American chariot of the free world.

You are not dealing with any ordinary, cookie cutter Jeep son. This thing was forged from a single block of all American Tungsten Steel. Real sturdy! From that day forward my life has never been the same. Winch yourself off that couch and see if you can handle this Jeep Wrangler Sahara.

So if you are looking for a rice burning hatch back, a solar powered liberal mobile, or even a Hyundai crossover keep on looking my friend this thing is a piece of red white and blue Americana Machinery.

This baby’s pulse is pumping 4.0 liters of uncensored raw fuel through her straight six nuclear power plant. And rest assured this is no metro feminine automatic. . .you command her to obey, with your calloused hand planted firmly on the shifter. And she will obey, the first time, every time. If you can’t handle your stick shifter, or reach the clutch pedal, you better not ferry skip over here wanting to test drive her. If you stall her out, you can count on getting hit in the face with a piece of re-bar and sent back where you came from.

It has A/C but are you kidding me….Really! If you want to blow the sweat off your brow, you do it the old fashioned way: doors off, top down. “What if it rains?”. . .You whiney bitch! I told you to stop reading. . . Any man who drives this beast doesn’t give a damn about rain. Not even skin melting acid rain, Cause he’s already dripping wet in blood, sweat, dip spit, and fish guts.

If you are looking for the kind of jeep that has to be pansy parked in the garage, so the “carpet doesn’t get wet and soggy” Then you should plant your Obama sticker on some Japanese piece of ****. Cause this thing has drain holes in the floor and rhino lined to let the blood drain out from the buffalo you just killed, with your bare hands. Because you are William Wallace from Braveheart and when you get home you can leave your “sissy sponge glove car wash kit” in the pink bucket it came in. Go ahead and spark up your 6000 psi heated pressure washer on the dually trailer in your man cave, cause you are Tim Gillespie and you can pressure wash your truck on the inside. She’s got rhino lined floors with a full roll cage in case that buffalo comes back to life while you’re doing 80 over some mountain pass or flooded river.

If you’re thinking about Mexican chrome bumpers for her, think again. The bumper bashers come hand forged in a blacksmith shop in Franklin County over a wood burnin fire, out of 4 inch well casing, and railroad tracks and then I welded em to the damn chassis. That way if you get deployed you can piggy back this war wagon on a deuce and a half and chain her down tight from the four corners, so you don’t lose her when your convoy gets hit by a taliband roadside suicide bomber.

And forget about putting one of those “It’s a Jeep Thing. . .You wouldn’t understand” stickers on this machine cause when you’re spotted in this American Classic there will be no questions, no further explanation required, people will understand and get out of your way. . …real quick.

If you think you’re ready to park this panty hauler on your tract of land. If you buy this jeep you better go get your old lady ready for some damn changes around your lair, cause this **** will be happening. What will be Happening? Glad you asked….

Sounds good doesn’t it?

This jeep has carried me through 155,000 miles of battlefield twice as gruesome as the second half of the movie “300″. . ..And just like a trusty steed this juggernaut has never left me stranded. If you think you’ve worn her out you drag this beast back to me in any condition. And Ill handle the rest.

But if you think you’re going to get to whip this mule you better pony up Sixty Five Hundred Dollars. . .American Cash . I’m not selling you this car unless you are clearly a pure blooded American Species, so don’t even think about it.

Okay, over the past few days all kinds of people have shared some pretty funny stuff they found on Craigs List. One forum even had a thread about a WK for sale with a photo of a cool WK, the problem was the photo belongs to a members Jeep but the seller was NOT the owner.

Humor aside, there's NO shortage of THAT going on on CL, Gunbroker, Armslist, fleabay, et.al. these days.

CAVEAT EMPTOR!!!

I know this thread is meant for funny craigslist posts, but I have a question on some jeep parts near me. There is an american rebel outlaw 10 bolt diff cover for sale for 95$ that's listed for a dana 35. The post says it is also compatible with an XK rear 10 bolt, is this true?

Heres's a link: http://houston.craigslist.org/pts/4098946447.html

The shape looks identical to my American Rebel rear diff cover. Why don't you call American rebel and ask them or better yet look on their website and see if they share the same part number. Unless that's what Jon did

[Ross]

Edit: I just held it over my stock rear diff cover and none of the bolts lined up, looks like I shoulda done a bit more research.


Well, I pulled the trigger and just bought it. It came with a new gasket, all the hardware, and even a decal. The seller purchased it to be used on a 2001 XJ Chrysler 8.25, but it was the wrong size.

We have an 8.25 in the rear of our XK's. If it didn't work for his it wouldn't work for ours. You should have called American Rebel first

[Ross]

Yup, looks like I got a heavy duty paperweight now. If anyone needs a rear diff cover for a dana 35, just let me know.

[07JeepXK]

Haha post it back on craigslist! Or can't you return it? That ad said it would fit your Jeep and obviously it didn't.

[Ross]

Yea, I will start postin it up on the cherokee forums and craigslist. Of course the guy wont return my messages or answer my calls.
