ncgamedog Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 A quick back story: The Jeep was a 1 owner until a few years ago when my stepdad acquired it as a DD. The truck was in great shape for its age and everything worked. I had cautioned him about the leaking valve cover gasket, and it eventually coated the manifold with enough oil to catch fire. A small engine fire started when he pulled in the driveway after work. The fire dept is only a mile down the road so it was extinguished quickly. They did cut the hood open and the fire melted part of the paint on the DS fender. These are the only sources of rust in the truck and its surface rust from sitting outside. Not sure what may be usable under the hood, b/c its pretty melted. The engine itself may be able to be rebuilt. The AW4 should still be ok as the fire never got past the firewall. This would make a great project for someone who had an XJ and wanted to do the swap. As for parts, basically everything is usable on the body other than the hood, header panel, and possibly the DS fender (though it could be fixed w/ a little sanding) Bed is perfect w/ no rust $300 Good doors w/ manual windows $50 ea Good rust free tail gate (needs latch repair) $100 AW4/231 $125 D30 CAD $50 D35 $50 Rear springs $75 Shackles $30 Tilt Steering column $40 or trade for Black or Tan one Cab $200 Fenders $30 pair Interior is blue and will price misc pieces if anyone needs anything.

500 MJ Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Might be helpful if you list the year of the truck. Ironically, the only MJ that I've ever parted out looked JUST like that one save for the fire. Mine was a '90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankTheDog Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I need that bed in the worst way but the 775 miles is a bit to far. Anybody going from Charlotte to the D.C. area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankTheDog Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I'm not near DC, I'm in NW CT. The DC area is about as far south as I can go and get back comfortably in a weekend. I would meet up with whoever brought it up at Lumpy's in NE Virginia. If I was six hours closer I'd be on my way already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KYMJ Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Did you sell your white truck? I sure wanted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncgamedog Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 yeah unfortunately...I miss it too! I doubt I'll ever have another MJ that nice. I guy from western TN came and picked it up quite a while ago. This engineering degree has cost me a lot of sacrifice, but I'm sure it will pay off in the long run lol. I'd been sitting on this truck in hopes of building it using a 97+ XJ, but I have a little Early CJ-5 that I'm more interested in building so this is going to fund some parts for it.
