$2300 for mine. The guy paid $2800, but it wouldn't pass smog, so he couldn't register it.

I definitely have to find one of these.

I know what you mean. Laramie is a pretty nice place. We like to go there every so often, but I don't think we could live there. I moved to greeley in 2015 for college, and I got to watch it turn into new california with my area unfortunately turning into new somalia. I moved to cheyenne in 2017 and I moved about 30 miles east a few months later. I like being away from the city, and our town currently is ~40 people, but I do still want to be within an hour drive of cheyenne for things like the VA hospital and the fact that city, county, state, and federal government is based there. Now we just need our government to follow south dakota's lead and it'll be perfect.

Oh what I wouldn't give for a setup like that Considering we are in ~300 sq. ft. now, my wife just wants something normal sized. She's less concerned with cleaning because that's my job, and she just wants a garage so she doesn't have to clear snow off in the morning With the way the Californians and Coloradans are driving up the market, we'll pretty much have to take what we can get. Practical now. Ideal later.

Thanks for reminding me that I'll be 30 next month Joined up a little while after buying my truck in October.

I sure hope so. He was like the little truck that could "I think I can! I think I can!" The mechanic said the engine leaked, but luckily the engine was still full after the ~140 mile trip. Still needs a lot of work to get up to looking good and being a confident driver, but I was pretty pleased with the condition. Could've been a heck of a lot worse given some of the states of other projects I've seen. One of the big wish list items on our house hunt is a garage

For our anniversary, my wife and I decided to take a trip over to Laramie for breakfast and antiquing. Then we went to The Bunkhouse for lunch/dinner. Even got some live music as the Bunkhouse Band was jamming. I recommend that restaurant to anyone going through Cheyenne. We decided to take the truck, and I decided to get some pictures while we were out. I love that we get to drive through such beautiful country, but these hills love to remind me how gutless the 2.8 is.

My swag came in today! Thanks @Pete M!

Thanks @Jesse J and @89 MJ! I've been trying to find that information and I couldn't find anything on it.

I'm probably gonna sound pretty ignorant, but how do you put your wipers up for when it snows?

Got the most essential mod for a vehicle today! Picked up 3 from https://www.ebay.com/itm/333640590992 Got some swag coming from @Pete M, so pics will be going up once those get here.

Ahh that's unfortunate.

yeah that figures. seems so crazy to me as its biggest production year, but I guess Chrysler cared more about going forward with the jeep name than preserving the past.

I had seen that you were able to find selling dealers on these sheets, but I also heard that many 86's don't have that information. Any luck?

Southeast Wyo added to the map, and fairly late as well.

I'm half hour outside Cheyenne Wyoming. Guess we shouldn't be surprised the least populated state has the least members in the forum huh?

Thanks! I'm sure it'll be a ton of fun despite all the cursing

Thanks. I love Wyoming, and I hope I can grow old and die here The Wrangler is a pretty great store, and there's so much history here. The truck might be slow going, but it'll definitely be worth it. Ill be documenting the whole way

I've started talking to him, and I'm hoping that I can either get one from him or see if he can refurb/modify the one in the XJ. I know he's really backed up so I'm not trying to be impatient lol

The radio that's in mine now is aftermarket, so I'm not sure what to expect when it comes to plugs and wiring. The XJ has the factory radio, but it's climate control and radio area look different. (I may be a filthy millennial, but id like at least a cassette player if I can't get an aux input😜)

Went to the local mechanic and had some of the items on my list taken care of. oil change ✔ brake flush ✔ spark plugs checking drums ✔ fixing the parking brake replacing bulbs getting a dash cover (minor cracking) installing new carpet and headliner The engine apparently leaks like a sieve (of course) but it doesn't leak onto the ground. My pads and drums have about 30% life left, so I figure I can get some miles out of them before I have to replace the pads, rotors, and drums. The parking brake definitely needs a new cable, and it has something wrong with the internals gripping the cable. Thankfully the 4x4 engages and works just fine. Aside from that list, the only things I need to bring the truck back to fully stock are the wheels, dash clock, and radio. Luckily, my dad has an 85 XJ that he bought for $100 as a beater, and it has both the wheels and the clock 👍 I've tried getting in touch with Jeremys radio emporium, but I haven't heard back, and I know he's pretty backed up on orders. The XJ also has a radio, but I'm not even sure if the radio would actually fit in the MJ, and id at least like to talk to Minuit about it. Still no ideas on a name. I'm terrible at this 🤣

Ohh ok thank you! I just ordered a service manual from your link so I'll be sure to get on that once I start wrenching.

It is 3D and 4M

Appreciate the notice, but I'm about to sound like an idiot. What and where is that?

Here's a pic of the rear diff. I also included a pic of the information plate.
