jimoshel Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 For a week I was negotiating with a guy about buying his 91 YJ. We agreed on a price, $950. Yesterday at 9AM I called him and said I was on my way. He said OK. I arrived at a little after 10, 40 miles. He came out and informed me he just sold it. By a very strong will of effort I refrained from inflicting painful damage to his bod. However I did express in very clear terms what I thought of him and his ancestors, particularly those on his mothers side. Upon leaving I remembered seeing a green Jeep with a for sale sign on it in a driveway. A couple miles down the road and there it was. Stopped and checked it out. Owner told me it had been sitting since Nov. He went out to start it one really cold morn and it wouldn't start. Been sitting ever since. Battery was dead. We talked. Gave him $500 and he gave me the title and keys. Got it home and charged the battery. Tried to start it for 10 minutes with no luck. Trying to determine if it was spark or fuel I poured a little gas in the intake. It fired right off. So far I've put 50 miles on it and it runs great. 5.2 V8, auto. Got a short as it keeps killing the battery. Got it narrowed down to the door locks, security system. Explains the red wire hanging over the fender. So now,,,,,I went after a '91YJ and since that's what I brought back it must be a 91 YJ. Â Â Â Looks like a 1993 or 1994 ZJ Laredo :D You're good. 93 ZJ Laredo.

terrawombat Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I think you made out better with this rig, to be honest. Once you figure out the short, you can easily double your money on it. Tires look like they have great tread, body looks to be in good shape (maybe a dent or two on the drivers fender). What are your plans with it? Just another to add to the stable?

jimoshel Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 According to the paperwork in the glove box the tires have 2k on them.There is 2 dents on it. One on the drivers door and one on the right front fender. No radio, cruise doesn't work. Gonna get them fixed and flip it, or see if I can swap for a 90's MJ. That sucker does run. When I took it out for a test run, I tromped on it heading down the on ramp. It was on 95 and still climbing when I hit the highway and let up on it.. HUH..May just keep it.

terrawombat Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Those Magnum V8's aren't HP monsters, but they deliver plenty of torque. How many miles are on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrawombat Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Oh geez, that's just broken in. If you (or her) don't get too attached to it, I'd flip it for some easy cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody4359 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 for the few little trips that i have taken my zj out on, i like it alot better than my xj. stronger unibody, alot more comfortable ride, flexes better with less strain and creaking, and mine has the glass on the hatch that opens up.
