Well I wasn't happy with the YJ so I found a guy to trade.
He has the YJ and I now have a rust free 1988 Jeep Commanche with 119,000 miles.
It's a 4cyl 4speed manual 2wd.
The goal is to find a factory rear 44 or a ford 8.8 and a hp30 to convert it to 4wd. Of course an ax5 with np231 also.
Eventually gather the parts to update the front clip and interior and then a repaint.
Currently items on my $#!& list are:
Steering ( way too sloppy )
Valve cover gasket ( leaking )
Brakes. ( needs pads, rotors, shoes, and new hardware )
Fan Shroud ( hitting the fan and sounds like $#!& when its at idle )
Here's a couple pics
