why the hell would you sell an 08 avenger for an old truck? oh well, its all i have the money for too. but yeah, youre going to need the transfer case, correct length driveshafts, and the new 4x4 front suspension.

i had to get rid of it for college money due to the darn economy and such, ill prob end up liking the truck alot more when im done with it,
but dang you think i was pissed about that? my first car was a jeep commander 06 limited trail edition 25k jeep and i got it for 18, but got rid of it bc someone offered my mom 22 for it(dummy),
but enough of obama takin all our money haha
im good on the transfer case and the suspension
but the gosh dang driveshaft is what im worried about i know yu can shorten a driveshaft for about 100 but what if i need to make it longer? am i gonna be spendin alot more or what?
