tazjeeper Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Going to look at an 89 4x4 short box 5 speed today. has a 4.0L in it. I am told is in nice shape but the box sides are rusted out but for 500 bucks as an asking price what do ya want. I have the camera to take pics.

tazjeeper Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Well it was not much to look at. the box is almost shoot or the PO should be... the tranny will only go into first gear, someone took a d35 out of an Xj and swaped it into the MJ. sad thing is they cut the perches and welded them on so its on top of the springs.. now if that was not enough the housing is not centerd at all. they have a bike chaine holding the springs togeather and they added a leaf that had just been cut at the ends to fit and its all lop sided in the pack.. motor sounds good for some 360K Kilomiters on it. it was an 87 not 89 like ad said it was but, it had a great total black int not a rip in the bench seat. floor was redone with tin and roofing tar... oh well I can't see me trying to restore that thing... Now the best part of the day was on my way to see this thing I saw this 91 with a 4.5 lift.. talkd to the owner for a bit. he just got it about 6 months back. he loves it. it came the way it is but he has plans for more mods.. I told him about the site and how great you guys are with info and jokes..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 AHHHH well... hopefully the right person will find it and fix it back up. That is a lot of work that I would likely not take on right now either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazjeeper Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 no thats it. I have a great engine and tranny I can slap in their and a d44 ready to go. I want to do the 4 door poject I was thinking if I could get it for a good price I could use the box and sell the rest off..the more I think about it the more I am going to find a all black int or spry mine with the proper spray to make it all black.... it looks great.

jeepcoma Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I like the double trailer balls on the bumper. Ingenious! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 He should pay you to take it out of his yard. Sheesh! I hope somebody will rescue it from the scrap heap, but it ain't worth 500 clams. The one I bought out of the local wrecking yard for $100 is in much better shape than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WahooSteeler Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I like the home-brew bed rail mounted light bar on the green 4x4 parked on the street. I especially like the "Paulie Jr." spider web on it too. Killer. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
