nobody have anything? or any leads on something?

Hey guys well here's the low down. This last winter I sold my MJ because it was to hard parking two jeeps on the streets in Chicago without having to worry about parking tickets. So I sold the MJ. In July My Xj was stolen, I drove it to St Louis, and it was stolen in front of my friends building . Long story short, the insurance company did not use any lube when they bent me over. Which brings me to my post.... I'm looking for a 1987 and newer MJ, it must have the 4.0 in it and It must be a short bed. The bed can be rusted and falling off as long as it has a solid frame and runs. I'd much rather have a 4x4 but that can be added later. So 87' and newer, 4.0 and short bed is what I'm looking for. I live in Chicago but I will travel in the Midwest area. Thanks - Cody

Hey guys I could use a hand here. Not to long after I sold my Comanche, My Cherokee / daily driver was stolen. I put a lot of work into both of those jeeps and I have been cars less for about 3 months now. The reason I have been without a car is because I have an illness. This illness is the need/want to only drive jeeps, but not just any model. I am addicted to the Mj and Xj 's. Which brings me to my point.... Is there anybody in Colorado, near the Lakewood area that could possible take a look at an MJ for me? If so get back at me, and I'll give you the details. Thanks for listening. - Cody

The Rem, 12 gauge 870 tact model holds 9 rounds with a 19" barrel direct from the factory. When loaded with a combo of 1 ounce slugs and 00 buck, your home will be very safe. not to mention a flat black tact shotgun just looks sweet.

Looking for an untouched 87-89 xj dana 44. no bent tubes please. will drive to pick up if within reason. reasonably priced. I'm sick of find ones that people are asking way to much for. I've bought and sold enough of these to know that an untouched dana 44 is not worth $600.

Yep. Thanks again. - Cody

Hey thanks so much that would be great, and quite helpful. -Cody

Does anybody know of a good shop, to bring a pair of axles to be built up? I'm in chicago and up until now have been able to do all my own work on my jeeps. But really have the time, know how, or space to do gears and lockers. Can anybody give me a heads up on a legit place in or around chicago. both axles will be out of the jeep so dropping off and picking them up later will be no problem. thanks - cody

Its hard to be thankful for a weekday off work that I can't spend working in the garage. But I'm sure all the pies will help me cope. :banana: Happy turkey day! :cheers:

I keep finding a puddle of water forming on the inside of my cab between the drivers door and the bench seat on the floor. I've replaced every piece of rubber around both doors and the floor boards are brand new with no holes. The only thing i can think of is that the door is tweaked or bent and is not closing properly creating a good seal with the door jam. Its an 87 so this would not surprise me that its twisted some how. has anybody every experienced something like this before? any ideas or input?

HAHA, no Ive seen that posted a few times tho. I found a 98 2wd 4 door xj needs a head gasket and some body work. $700. So my white long bed might be up for sale soon idk, I like using her as a work truck. Plus she doesn't drink gas like my lift xj.

Hey I found something can you delete this thread please. thanks. -Cody

PM'D ya

Ya I'd hate to cut apart a good mj. I'm looking for something to fully cage with fiber glass all the way around so I really only need a solid cab. Could even be a roller with no motor or trans.

Looking for a a Short bed MJ, I'm really not going to be to picky, it does need to be a short bed, with the inline 6, 4.0L motor, any trans, 2wd or 4wd. the bed can be completely gone as long as the cab is in decent shape. I'd prefer it run but if the problems and price is right then I'll entertain anything. If the truck is worth it i might be willing to trade w/ some cash my completely rust free running driving long bed. ( see my posts for that truck).
