maybe a craigslist , bc4x4,crawlin, pirate ect. section, kinda like other. A place for people to put up ads that are NOT thier own.
 
Seems like alot of shit is getting posted from other sites.

ya a "deal heads up" for stuff found on another forum would be interesting
 
you guys are right tho.  most people are retarded.  how many threads are there in the buy/sell named "Look at this!" or "Need a part"
 
how hard is it to type "FS: Axles" or "WTB: Hybrid's spoon"

How about splitting up the Buy/Sell into:
XJ/MJ,
CJ/older
YJ/TJ
ZJ/WJ
JK
other
 
?

i kind of like this idea, makes it simple if you just want parts for your kind of jeep

i like what some of the other site do,,  split up for sale and wanted.
then sub catagories..
-vehicles
-powertrain/drivetrain
-body/interior
-wheels/tires
-other 4x4 related for sale
-non 4x4 related for sale

there is waaaay to many posts to look through.. to find something you need.

I hate sites that split the for sale section into powertrain, exterior, etc. cause I have to flip through all those sub-catagories if I'm just keeping an eye out for something I might want. This site doesn't have nearly enough traffic for all those sub-catagories.


My recommendation would be:


JK - For Sale
    - Wanted
TJ - For Sale
    - Wanted
etc, etc...

the problem with model specific forums is many things like engines, trannys, TCs, axles, fit multiple platforms.

Splitting up the parts into categories wont work since a lot of people put a few things in one post.

I'm working on a 'classifieds' type system to integrate with the forum. Can't find a free out of the box solution for SMF.

My plan is to allow listings to be 'tagged' with multiple keywords, and you can easily view any items for sale by 'tags', or view everything as it was posted (like how it is now).
