Geonovast Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 All that work to keep it going and nice, and he has a butt ugly aftermarket racing tach instead of upgrading to the full cluster... :shake:
jpdocdave Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 ^ I would assume that is to keep all the original equipment in place, if it was a replacement cluster it may take away from the whole theme here with the 600k vehicle, since that is where the odometer is.

Darren Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I wonder what condition the door hinges are in.
Sir Sam Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I wonder what condition the door hinges are in. Might be just fine, judging by the condition of the seat its a skinny little guy not some big fatarse who uses the door like a crutch getting in and out.

Eh... when I went to a full gauge cluster in both my MJs, I kept the original speedo in the new cluster.

I'm not saying its not possible, or to even reset the mileage on a new cluster, I just think he doesn't want anything to comprimise the integrity of his mileage claim. Most of the reason to own a vehicle like that is for the mileage bragging rights, mercedes owners are the same way. Jeep really needs to have a mileage club just like mercedes does.

Sorry, that is all I meant by original, so no one can say it's a different cluster. And the original engine was a high point, that's all.
xjrev10 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Posted February 17, 2011 :shake: Its still a 4.0 that has 600k rounds on it. Pretty amazing and the body of Jeep is still in what looks to be great shape.
kyleag89 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Amazing.. but this guy must drive like an 85 year old woman going to the post office. :rotf:
btm24 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 :agree: Thats amazing I wonder if the 4.0 has been rebuilt at all? Brandon
kyleag89 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 It says in the article that there has been no internal engine work.
btm24 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I'm sorry I must have missed that, I did how ever see that it was the original 4.0. Very cool Brandon
terrawombat Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 The most impressive thing thing to me is that his Renix cooling system still works!
