jpnjim Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Sucks, but it looks fixable. Did the bed take out the passenger's side cab corner? (looks like it in the pics). :ack: Good luck, hope everything works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenard Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 no ;) , looking at it from the passenger side you can't till i hit anything. i just got it home and took off the the grill and the whole front clip thingy. needs a new radiator, A/C condenser, and tranny cooler. those will be the major $$$, then a new hood,front clip and grill and head lights ect.........

Automan2164 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Sounds like the perfect reason to do a 97-01 swap. ;) Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Sounds like the perfect reason to do a 97-01 swap. ;) Rob L. Unless you are like me and don't like the '97 + look ;) . I think they should be left alone and kept looking the way that they were meant to be. Glad it's not any worse than that and that it is able to be saved. From your other description, I was imagining it a lot worse than what I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BPB Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 The ranger had it coming. Ditch the a/c, now you can make onboard air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 The ranger had it coming. Ditch the a/c, now you can make onboard air. dumb question, whats onboard air? It's a compressor mounted in the truck for airing up the tires after you've done an off-road excursion and have to drive home on pavement. Many Jeepers adapt the a/c compressor for this job rather than buy an aftermarket electric compressor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would get you back on the road untill you wanted or could afford to spend $160 for a triple core rad. Of course I got lucky and found a brand new triple core rad at the junkyard, then about a week later a brand new stock double core rad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 That blows! Now to take your mind off it for a second: Did you get the temp and oil pressure gauge in your new gauge cluster working yet? I would get a new lifetime warranty radiator, and get everything else used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenard Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Ouch man was it your fault???? :eek: its going to end up being my fault since i was last in line and there was no wrecks until i came a long. That blows! Now to take your mind off it for a second: Did you get the temp and oil pressure gauge in your new gauge cluster working yet? I would get a new lifetime warranty radiator, and get everything else used. i got the oil working right, my temp though, at cold it reads 210 and normal operating it reads about 260/280.

500 MJ Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Prior to me owning it, I think something like this happened to my blue MJ. The body lines don't line up nicely on the drivers side of the truck and no matter what I do I can't get them perfect. Also there are slightly bent pieces of the uniframe up near the drivers door inside of the fender... The truck looks fixable for sure :clapping: just be aware that you might start having issues with panels lining up from now on... :ack: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
