88pioneer Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 I'm heading down to Pine Hill in South Jersey tomorrow to take a look at a 92 LWB, 4.0 4x4 AW4. Its got a SOA rear, an the rest is a 4.5". Its only got a 35 in it but that will change soon. The floors were just redone so there good. I know most of the stuff to look for an make sure is good, but figured i would ask the pro's if there is anything in particular i should watch for before buying it. thanks :cheers: O an that snorkel will come off as soon as i get it home. :ack:
88pioneer Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 guy wanted 2500, i got him down to 2000, might get it a little lower depending on what i find tomorrow
freakjeep93 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 floors, and the frame around the rear spring hangers and between the cab and bed. looks pretty good though.
88pioneer Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 the build date is the first thing i'm looking for. I know about all the rust spots, had the 88 an i knew where all the normal rust started and even more than that more ;)
HOrnbrod Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Hey, you're a Jersey guy - you know what to look for. Rustus Maximus. :cheers:
1999MJ Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 doesn't look to bad. Did you get rid of your other MJ?
88pioneer Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 Yea unfortunately i sold the 87, i would have kept it but i don't have time or money to do a project right now, hopefully i can get this an have something i can drive, then buy one to build up
DJM/78 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Snatch that damd thing up ! I like those soft 8's . Yes the snorkel does have to come off . :ack: The body looks straight though . :thumbsup:
88pioneer Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 Well i bought it, gotta get it registered and go back and get it. No rust on the body, no rust on the frame. Build date of 4/92, yes that means the last month of production. Has a couple loose ends, but not all that bad, a little rough around the edges. Can't wait to get it home and start wrenchin on it
DJM/78 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Nice find ! Guess I'll be changing the name of my build thread after all . :yes: I paid 2700 $ for mine , but it had never been wheeled , modified or neglected . All documents shown from Denver dealership , going all the way back to the purchase date . Somehow all shoved in the glove box . :dunno: After pulling it all out , I couldn't get it all back in there , kinda like a old tent bag . :ack:
freakjeep93 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Build date of 4/92, you might be competing with 89 elim there
88pioneer Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 yea, i really wanna get more info about it, its gonna need some work, but it sounds worth it to me
88pioneer Posted January 29, 2010 Author Posted January 29, 2010 O, one of the things i need to figure out too is for some reason the gaps between the gas and brake pedal, and the gas pedal and tranny hump is ridiculously small, i could barely get my boot on to the gas pedal, without getting it wedged on the brake, i don't know what to do with this :huh???: . Any help is greatly appreciated
88pioneer Posted January 30, 2010 Author Posted January 30, 2010 here's a few more pics, rear bumper really just needs its endcaps put back on, needs a front track bar bushing bad, i think i might paint it white once the weather warms up, not a fan of bright red
Automan2164 Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 A firefighter that's not a fan of bright red? That's unamerican. ;) Rob L. :D
89eliminator Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 yea, i really wanna get more info about it, its gonna need some work, but it sounds worth it to me ya we need more info on it. possibly the last one built :brows: did you put that cc sticker on?
88pioneer Posted January 30, 2010 Author Posted January 30, 2010 hey now, my fire trucks are bright green, i don't ride red :thumbsup: . An that sticker was on when i got it, i guess the kid was a member here, we were talking back an forth about the club
freakjeep93 Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 hey now, my fire trucks are bright green, i don't ride red :thumbsup: . An that sticker was on when i got it, i guess the kid was a member here, we were talking back an forth about the club our used to be brite yellow. i don't hae pics of them since i just joined last year but about 15 years ago they went back to red. fire trucks should always be red IMHO
Onabudget Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 it was built on April 23rd 1992 I'm goin to miss that truck, at least it will be in good hands.
88pioneer Posted January 31, 2010 Author Posted January 31, 2010 well that pretty much verifies it, its close, but Wades still got me by 1 day..... :doh: , an i'll take care of it for sure
89eliminator Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 it was built on April 23rd 1992 I'm goin to miss that truck, at least it will be in good hands. i thought that truck looked familiar
