I'm gonna pass on it. I'll be back here if I find another one. Thanks for the help.

I saw that one too. I'm not to keen on a rebuilt engine. I still have bitter taste in my mouth from my XJ. I killed one of those 0331 4.0s. Got a rebuilt engine. I saw that MJ also. (Actually I was amazed that there was two MJs for sale). I e-mailed him and he didn't get back to me.

Okay I saw it. It WAS in accident which explains the header. He is mechanic so he fixed it up him self. He put in a new radiator. There seemed to be some minor alignment issues. He said that was due to the oversize tires. It's on 31s. The paint job was just awful. However, there was no rust anywhere. There was no cat. but I'm okay with that because he HAS to put one on and it HAS to pass CA Smog. There was also some disconnected wires under the hood. One big concern was with what I hope I was just the valve cover gasket. There was pool of oil completely around the valve cover. Also, the oil pressure gauge doesn't work. Other than that, the engine sounded and felt great. The trans went into every gear. I offered him $2000. He said that would work. He's going to put in a cat and smog it. He's got other people that wanted to look at it. I hope someone doesn't offer him more.

The amount of help in the sort amount of time is incredible. Thank you very much. I'm going to check it out right now. Wish me luck. I hope I get it so I can be a part of awesome MJ world.

I also think $2500 is too high. I'm gonna see if I can get for $2000 even. Also keep in mind I'm in California. Cars are worth a lot more here (for some reason).

It's a 4x2 with a the 5 spd. Yeah, I wasn't sure about that front. It looks like an XJ limited front. Did they ever look like that on the MJ?

[quote="lsmurphy" Don't like that oil gauge pegged though. What do you mean?

Here's some pics.

The guys is coming to let me check it out... It's 1988 4.O L with 177K. He is asking $2500. Is this a good price? What are some specific things I need to look out for?
