Akula69 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I realize now that the addiction is hopeless and I need intervention to help me to decide wether to buy another one of our trucks. Here's the deal: I have a friend who owns a garage in town. They were asked to look at a 87 MJ with the 4 banger and a puke goat BA10/5. The truck runs but has no "get up and go" according to the owner. It is a base model and has been hit in the front, damaging the bumper and slightly cracking the header panel. The body is in fair shape for a Mich. truck. 4X2 Dana 35. Highest compression on any one cylinder is 30PSI :ack: which explains the owner's complaint. He has no indicated he'd love to sell it for $150.00. I'm trying to decide if it is actually worth the money. I have no need for a BA or a 4 banger, and the floors of the cab are fairly rotted out. The PO installed some kind of home-grown sunroof in it (and sealed around the opening with roofing tar :thwak: ). I would not rebuild this one. What do ya'll think...worth $150.00 clams to have some parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 If it's a 4 popper, it's not a BA 10/5. It's an AX-4/5. Pretty much anything is worth $150 if it's good enough to not dissentigrate on the way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnkyboy Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 With 30psi in the highest cylinder I would expect more issues then just "no get up and go". If its a 4cyl 5spd it should have 4.10 gears,so you could get your money back just out of the d35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 damn see and I'm letting go (its not going anywhere) a Sport truck 2x4, 4 banger, dana 35, manny trans, slight front end damage nothing major just because theres few things i could use off it. has surface rust underneath but nothing seriously ate. would it be worth it???? i could get it next to nothing also theres a 87 4x4 4.0 sport truck, side front end damage, nothing major, with the parts to fix it, missing steering box and something else and floor rust for 500. plus id have to go get it two hours away. the 4.0 won't get spark so it won't fire. would that one be worth it to yall??? I'm thinking they both would be but my Mj is far from perfect right now, so would spending the time and money on one or both of these really be worth it. its a thinker but idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJRemi Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I just spent $200 on a few parts at a typically, overpriced, San Diego junk yard. If you can get a parts truck for $150, get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
