I would say I'm more of a market research "veteran". Lol.
Ever notice how much Wranglers go for compared to Cherokees? They tend to hold their value much better over time. My Wrangler has coils under it's front.... I have replaced SO many Cherokee axles (particularly the front) in the last ten years, and it always seemed that the more options it came with, the more it would break. I'm not really calling yours JUNK. I'm sure it runs and drives just as good as you claim, but cutting the fenders to gain tire clearance, gutting the carpet without finishing the job you were trying to complete, and then showing a picture of it without the doors really does not help get you any higher in price. In fact, I believe it just makes it look like it has been seriously abused and not taken care of, which is why I do not believe you could get more than about $1200 for it. If someone wants a trail rig, they will want one that is very well equipped (high dollar), or they will want something cheap that they can build up themselves. When I'm looking for a 4wd to build, I'm looking at cheap junk that I can easily hack up and build up. Suspension, drivetrain, body condition do not play a part in a build. Most of it will get swapped out or heavily modified. Cheap is the keyword. I was seriously recommending that if you desire to get a certain amount of money, trade it for something more popular and cleaner that you can easily sell for what you are currently asking. It's just an idea.
I'm going to sit back on this one and see what happens. Good Luck with your sale.
