Sounds like a steal! Is it rusty? Not that it matters at $400 duck bucks!

Cool! I just picked up a '97 a few weeks ago. Been lurking for a while hoping to get one. I paid a bit more for mine but it's lifted and runs and drives. No more trying to squeeze an air mattress into a Cherokee, these things have a ton of room.
