   One pic wonder. Nice little jeep. The diamond plate and white spoke wheels aren't working for me but may be an easy fix. Looks pretty straight. Some haggling on price could make this jeep a winner...

   diamond plate just ruins the look of these flatties. Hopefully solid underneath. I like the overdrive

   That diamond plating was very popular in Washington in the 70s and 80s. The tight Cascade Mountain trails made the plating a necessity for reducing damage to the side of the body and at the corners. Looking at the condition of the rest of the jeep, it wouldn't surprise me if the body was straight underneath. I've learned that lots of people don't like the look of it, but its nostalgic for me.

   Dave, I definitely get your point and respect it. It just seems like a lot of people overuse the diamond plate, giving it a blinged out look, that takes away the look of the jeep. Or worse, covering up the rust and rot because they don't want to deal with it

   Yep, I agree there. And I never installed it on my jeeps. I might wax nostalgic and enjoy seeing it in the right places on the right jeeps, but I didn't want it on mine :-)

   Great dialogue... esp. about the diamond plate (not as offensive nor overused here). But I just wish the seller had posted more pics, esp. of the engine bay, rear end, and floors. This could be a good deal on a nice looking daily/fun driver.
