It would definitely be cheaper to pick up an already built one. But like you said, there is absolutely no fun in that.
I say it depends on if this is the platform you want to build off of. You prefer an auto over a manual for offroading? Most do. You prefer the interior styling of a 97 versus a 99+? You prefer having the manual J-shift transfer case? For a wheeler I would for sure. And you already have an elocker.
The only thing that could present problems for this platform is the miles on the engine. I definitely would not S/C with those miles.
You could spend $50 and get all new sway bar and steering rack bushings from Wheeler's. That would make a nice difference. You could also replace the bushings on the Front and rear control arms to get rid of a lot of squeaking and improve the ride even more.
Whatever you decide, let me know if you need help wrenching. I would be more than willing to help.
