Hi folks, just joined the site and I'm an owner of a 2001 5jj.
8000 miles from new and it's new to new.
I paid a hefty price to get this as there isn't many mint ones about that haven't been dropped/high mileage.
Here she is...

Yes, the first pic is how it is now. I've got a brand new genuine seat cowl to pop on too.

I kept all the original bits including uncut everything so it can go back to standard if needs be.
It's got an aftermarket undertray too.
I had to buy a secondhand undertray that had been cut so I didn't have to start chopping my original one up.

Cheers mate. I spent about a week on and off 2 winters ago doing this.
Apart from the tray, I've just replaced the following..
Exhaust
Hanger (Harris)
Indicators
Dark screen
Genuine seat cowl
I've left it at that as I didn't want to spoil it like many new!!!

I had a 99 model and then had a rsv factory after that.
And then my dads mate announced that he was selling this!!
I couldn't resist paying his crazy price as it is the cleanest I've ever seen.
