Lets save this MJ

I'm thinking of buying this for the bed, ps door and fender. Any interest in the rest of this rust free truck? I would put my current bed, door and fender on it, which are rust free with a few minor dents. Looks like the drive train is good except the damage to the engine harness and misc under hood stuff. Would make a nice truck if someone has some Xj parts to swap into it. I could also throw in a good hood and header panel if someone needs it. I'd like to keep this one out of the salvage yard if possible, so I guess I could part it if no interest in the complete truck.

PM me if your interested and we can talk $$$

Will come with clear title

 

"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)"

I'm getting it but you can get it also after I get the stuff I need. Like I said, it will be complete after I get the parts I need except the bed, ps door and ps fender will be a darker shade of blue. ;) . I really don't want this nice of a truck to go to the crusher but I'll only be able to keep it around a few weeks after I get it. BTW, it has blue interior that, according to the PO, is in pretty good condition.

 

This is the bed, door and fender that will come with the truck

 

 

This is the header panel and hood that will come with it

how much for the complete truck once you're done with it? what is it, 4.0/auto/4x4? year? what rear axle? i know a guy who might transport it for me...but that depends on overall cost. if someone else local to you or on the way up here wants the bed, i have a decent one to use so i would consider letting that go if they want to split the costs...for that matter, i don't really need a header panel or hood, i have spares here.

Bought it today just need to make arrangements to pick it up.

It's an 89 long bed, 4.0l, AW4 auto 4x4. Not sure about the rear axle but I suspect it's a 35 judging by the rear springs, I'll find out for sure though. Once I get my hands on it I'll post a price but I'm not looking to make a killing, just get the parts that I need and pass it on to someone who will put it on the road. I'll also add it to the registry when I get the pertinent info.

Glad to see you ended up getting it. :yes:

Thanks, like most guys on here it just makes me sad to see one of these old beauties end up in the crusher. One day when we're old and sitting in a rocking chair, we'll be telling our grand kids about these really cool old Jeep pick-ups that used to be around. Then we'll probably break out the pics and smile. At that point, the kids will probably get distracted and run off and play :D . Oh well, I enjoy the old trucks :thumbsup: .
