Unglar Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Is this a good deal? It has high miles. I'm looking at putting at least $300 into one of these older Renix 4.0's to get it running with a pukegoat behind it, maybe I should scrap that and go with this HO which most likely has an AX-15? What should I look at on the engine to make sure it isnt damaged? http://www.ksl.com/index.php?sid=&nid=4 ... ad=1733641 Jeep Cherokee taylorsville, UT 84118 - Nov 4, 2009 $300.00 For Sale by Owner Ad: # 1733641 Contact: Zack Phone: (801)963-0176 This car was hit in the driver's side front corner and is damaged up to the steering pump. The rest of the car is in good condition. We are asking for $300 and the person who buys it when they strip it of all parts needed can sell the scrap for $200 at a scrap yard. It also has a nice bike rack that would go for $200 itself. All tires are fairly new with 3 months of driving on them and can be salvaged. Engine is in good condition.

87Warrior Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 It does not look too terrible, I have looked a worse. But I would certainly check the ECU and wiring harness to it since that would be a big part of your project. Plan on replacing the water pump and power steering pump. Inspect anything that may have been jostled by the accident. At $300, you really can't go wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Probably a good deal, but figure on needing an ECU. It's mounted on the inside of the driver's side front fender, near the air box. Sounds like that's the corner that got hit, so I'd bet the ECU is history. The tranny will be an AX-15, though. Rear axle could be either a D35 or an 8.25 -- depends on whether or not it had ABS.

Unglar Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Yeah, there is a pic in the link, the right front is pretty hammered. So whats an ECU cost? Can prob grab one at the JY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unglar Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 The ax-15 is worth the $300 eh? Also, when I try to link the photo I get this error: It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unglar Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Thanks Pete, but whats the trick? I can't start my build thread till I figure out these pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I clicked on the image to see the larger version, then right clicked and choose "copy image location", then pasted that here with IMG tags. The smaller image will likely never work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unglar Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Weird, I don't have the option to 'copy image location'. I had to choose properties and copy the url from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Looks like it has Gambler wheels. The wheels alone are worth the $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Looks like it has Gambler wheels. The wheels alone are worth the $300. From the angle I see it looks like these: Rob L. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 They look like these ones to me. Either way, the parts in there are well worth $300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Is the "someone else posted" thing broken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Don't know, but I agree... $300 of parts there... Easily. Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
