Hey what did you get him down to if you don't mind me asking? I know he wanted $1350. Oh, and dana 44? Nice score man, hey whats the build date on the door jamb? Rob L.

Automan2164 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 IF YOU EVER SELL IT, Call me first. That is the last month they were ever made. The lines get changed in may (5). That very well could have been one of the last MJ's ever made. You lucky SOB. Dana 44 too i take it with that horseshoe around your neck? Rob L.

Pete M Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 A winter beater outta one of the rarest ever? Could we at least call it something other than a "beater"? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is kind of weird when I bought mine its build date was 4/91 and had 112,000! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 shortbed, no D44, its a D35 with 3.55s. my plans are to patch all the rust holes, then do a kinda good spray bomb job with some green paint. gonna stick with stock height (for now) and just drive it. i need something reliable for school and such. i will say that I'm in love with the HO power already...maybe the ol' 89 will be getting a new motor swap this winter...

Automan2164 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I would keep that baby all original. I would also write some dudes at jeep asking about serial numbers and when the last one was produced. Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Let's see. 952 MJs produced in 1992, and I'm guessing maybe 10% were Eliminators, and maybe 25% of these 95 Elims were 4WD. And your build date is right at the end of the MJ production cycle. You have a good chance of owning the last 4WD Eliminator MJ ever produced. A winter beater!! No way mate. This rare gem deserves a full and proper resto. And from the looks of it and only 112K miles, won't take much work and/or $$. Lucky bastid.............. :cheers: I admire you for jumping on it immediately too. Excellent buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also write some dudes at jeep asking about serial numbers and when the last one was produced. Rob L. thats a good idea. I would even help you wade. I would happily give you my '90 if you want some sort of beater, but please don't part that thing out for the engine. Thats a big item you have there. Especially since the build date is in the last month mjs were made, its an eliminator, its a 4x4, its an eliminator, and its an eliminator. I would do some research, find the original owner, and contact jeep. Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 no no no, I'm not taking this motor out for the 89. just saying that i want an HO for the 89. i guess i shouldnt have called it a winter beater. i don't think i can handle a full restore on this one for quite some time. gonna do a somewhat good job on patching and painting for now.

Geonovast Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I don't have any personal experience, but I've heard many people say they either don't answer or can't, because they don't keep records more than 10 years or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
