I think the kilometres are your biggest issue, plus the market for stock or 'close to stock' appears to be bigger than the market for modded versions. That is, most people will want to buy the original stock jeep (coz it looks cool) or because they want to build it up themselves.

Your front bumper is home made, and ugly too, to my eyes anyway (this may reduce the group of potential buyers as well).

It might be worthwhile returning to stock and selling the other gear....

JKU I think. I love the Jeep but I would like to take more than one person camping and its just way to short. Wish they had 4 door TJs but they don't. And yer the bumpers UGLY but Dad did most of the designing and it's dam sure stronger than any off the shelf bumpers. I think if I'm going to sell it I'll put it to stock (or close to) sell it for $8k and get as much as I can for the rest of it. By the time I save up the rest of the money JKs will probably have gone down a little lol.

Yer if I clean up the winch some itll bring in a bit and the tyre carrier and rear bar should to. Not sure if I'll sell it yet I need about $10k to buy a JK on top of sale and savings. Random but do you guys think its worth it? I really want the extra seats and room to do some touring but on the other hand the $10k could do a lot to the TJ. Decisions decisions.

Put the back seats in and go buy a camper trailer to carry your gear or a damn good roof rack set up and then you can keep the TJ and not have the headaches of trying to fix a JK when things go wrong.... and still take those 3 other friends, and be somewhat better of in the wallet long term.
