ICEBOX Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 well I bought an 89 cherokee today . The guy wanted 900 but i got it for 700. here is what it has. It is a 1989 cherokee 4 door 4x4, AT trans, slip yoke elemenater ,Rino lined inside and out. front and rear custome bumpers. front is a winch type with full grill and light guards, rear is a swing out tire carrier, Con-fer roof rack. Safari snorkle( missing the intake hook up ) high pionon dana up front and a rear 44, both I'm told are locked. but front making grinding noise,. So hopefuly it is lock front and rear . roll cage, rock sliders. there is a winch with it . but no cable ( working or not unknown) found paper work for a motor rebuild in 97 . 40 over with a RV cam . It does run and sound strong .also the is a lock rite locker sticker in the glove box. Also there were in the jeep OEM repair manuals. 3 of them . I think I made out really well on this deal ( about time ) here is a link to the picks. sorry they are dark but It was dark when we got home a few hrs ago.

freakjeep93 Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 whats with the street tiers on the front . are they the same size? if not theres why your front ends terin itself apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEBOX Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 thats what I was thinking 88mjmanche. ! I made out really well I think . And the tire size are the same front and rear. I just pulled the front cover off. The pinion brging is SHOT and I mean SHOT ! So the gears were binding up on it. not sure if I will need to replace the ring and pinion at this time . I will have to have some one look at it a that knows this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJM/78 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Cool toy , good buy , besides its all money anyway . Have fun and build it how you want it . Its better to have lived broke and happy than rich and sad . You should make it all beefy w/ external cage and all that !! Flat Black just says " screw you " to any and all , with there nose in the air . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
