most is grounds related and not that bad. after 30 years of existence a bunch of... inadequacies have popped up in the wiring. I added her to the registry:

once you get it, you should accomplish all of cruiser's MJ tips:

it's a utah truck. the usual things (rust) aren't as much of a concern for you guys. the basic used-car items apply. look for hacked up wiring or other PO shenanigans, make sure you bring it up to operating temp, take it for a test drive, etc.

pop the oil filler cap and peek at the insides. at 300k I'd assume it was well maintained, but that doesn't mean it's had an oil change in the last 30k and the rockers could be caked in sludge. be prepared to start swapping out soft parts and change all the fluids.

the big question is, what do you want to do with the truck once you have it? what is the plan? and does this particular truck fit into that plan?

found a new-to-me search engine for junkyard Jeeps https://row52.com/Search/?YMMorVin=YMM&Year=1984-1993&V1=&V2=&V3=&V4=&V5=&V6=&V7=&V8=&V9=&V10=&V11=&V12=&V13=&V14=&V15=&V16=&V17=&ZipCode=&Page=1&ModelId=2938&MakeId=155&LocationId=&IsVin=false&Distance=100

Martin's is a seriously cool junkyard. the big draw is the back acres of 50s and 60s cars/trucks, but they also had several 80s/90s Jeeps up front.

yup, but we'll see if it ever happens. The Liberty is being a bit of a punk right now.

should be 60 and sunny during the day.

cool beans. with any luck I'm heading to a junkyard soon that claims to have over 2000 cars so we'll see what I can come up with.

holey restoration batman! she needs some serious weld-time!

then sometimes I might shift into 2wd. until then, the magic traction fairies just keep doing their job, rain or shine.

did you add yourself to the members map yet? I think it's pinned in the Pub.

dang. well, you can try sending a message to kryptronic. he hasn't been on in quite a while but I'm sure he'd know.

diesel life

mid 20s around town (lots of hills in this area). but she can still pull the low 30s on highway trips. she's slipped just a little now that she has big tires and 200k.

have you talked to Alexia yet?

13 straight years now in AWD in my Libby. no downsides I've been able to find, not even fuel economy.

dang
