Sorry, should have said, it is a 1992 Base model 4x4 4.0 HO with 5 speed......

Yeah I will get it added shortly. As for plans, first is to get all the minor issues fixed, check major problem points (Rust, timing chain, etc) Then...... Possible repaint, still debating original color vs satin gun metal grey Replace dummy light instrument cluster with multi gague cluster Swap the gears out to get her to at least 3.73 Headers 62mm throttle body w/new intake manifold 33s New stereo Bucket seats and console Restore miinor body parts and interior, maybe swap in classic front end with tow hooks Drive the piss out of it. I love this truck, even though it is officially my wife's....... And once the heads give up the ghost (or before), replace with edelbrock performer head and rollers.....

ALready been trolling the site, but have not found the answer to some of my questions. Thanks in advance! I am not a fan of the dummy light instrument cluster, will an XJ cluster plug in and function (so I can have tach, voltage, oil pressure, etc), or should I just buy a three gauge aftermarket dash setup? Saw several posts on seat replacement, but are there any particular other auto makers or aftermarket that bolt up better? I have limited fabrication skills (well, skills I have, no workshop or tools), so new brackets might be a pain unless I can armstrong a buddy or two. Is it possible to have the windshield resealed? I called some autoglass places and they told me where the sun don't shine, would only do full replacement. At 246k miles are there any EMERGENCY heavy repairs I should do (Timing Chain, Water Pump, head, etc)? Now that I got this thing, it is going to become a family heirloom, so I want her around for the long haul. Know my way around a 4.0, but never had one this high before. Hot air blows out from under the shifter console. I am guessing it is coming off the transfer case. Is there any fix for this? Is there anyone out there that makes hard headliners? Never was a fan of the cloth/cardboard combo. It came with 3.07 D35c gears. Easily one of the most anemic gearings I have felt from a 4.0. Would the liberty 8.25 be the best swap option? Should I just not mess around and install the 4 port injectors immediately? Thank you so so much. Everyone said this is the group to come to for this stuff, so I really appreciate it.

I always wanted one of these, but never devoted much thought to it. Old buddy of mine calls me out of the blue and says his neighbors have one under a tarp that just makes dump runs once a month or so. Couple hours later, cash changes hands and I drive her home. She has 246,000 miles and seems to be a bone stock model with just 4WD added. Starts and runs just fine. Seems to have a vacuum leak (at least it sounds like one) and idles a bit rough (almost like a weak miss), but runs like a champ on the road. Body is straight as an arrow. Only major issues (so far): Windshield Leaks (I can only assume this means I have rust on the floor, winter project) Wipers don't work (Looks like the 5.5 amp circuit burnt out due to water from windshield) Blown front right shock Interior lights are kinda shot (one insturment lamp out, both pillar lights) Looks like PCV needs to be replaced (oil in air filter) Clearcoat on roof and hood is shot (canopy roof too)
