2005 LJ with 5.3 V8 swap (Trade?)

I am thinking about selling my LJ or trading it for a muscle car / nicely modified trail Jeep.

The Jeep is a 2005 LJ (non-Rubicon) that is sitting on a 2.5" Teraflex lift on 17" JK Rubicon wheels and 33" Goodyear Duratrac tires. The airframe has about 248,000 miles on it but the swap has around 6,000 miles. The motor is an LH8 (non AFM) all aluminum 5.3L V8 that came from a 2009 GMC Canyon. The transmission is a 4L65-E that came from the same truck. The motor and trans both have around 25k miles on them. The swap was done by Bruiser Conversions. The factory dash works 100% and has zero warning lights. It has cold A/C and a great heater. Has an aftermarket Pioneer head unit.

The Jeep was "restored" at Bruiser with new paint, new interior, fresh undercoating & rust proofing, and servicing the diffs & transfer case. The Jeep still has the factory 231 transfer case and the factory D30 front/ D44 LSD rear axles. The lift, wheels, and tires are brand new and were installed at bruiser. The Jeep also has a brand new bestop supertop and quadratec seat covers. I wouldn't call the condition "like new" but this is probably the most immaculate 200,000+ mile Jeep out there.

I would really like to get into a nicely modified low mileage LJ or a JKU. I would also be interested in a super low mileage 2005-2009 Mustang GT or a C6 Corvette. All cash offers around $25,000 will also be considered. Figured I would give the awesome members here first shot at the Jeep. If it doesn't sell I will be happy keeping it and maybe building a stretch LJ. :thumb:

Don’t know if you need another project, but the Stretched LJ are awesome crawlers. Your already more than half way there with that 5.3. Just the little things left like axles, tires, body work, suspension.. etc. but it could be beast!
