revmaynard Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 The Good: 192k on body/70k on rebuilt 4.0 New clutch/flywheel/bearings (AX15) Repainted about 4 years ago MINT interior 8.25 rear end The Bad: It's red It's 2wd. Needs bushings in the front end replaced. I know, I know. Get the old man out of the way! haha The first plans will be to clean it up a bit and touch some stuff up, then piece together everything for a HP30 swap with upgraded shafts/ujoints and 30spline conversion. I'll probably hold off on that stuff until I have all my parts and decide on what lift I want to run so I can lock the rear and upgrade the shafts around the same time. But currently the old man I'm trying to buy it from is having a hard time parting with it although he desperately needs the money. Wish me luck guys! --For some reason the interior shot won't come up when I post, but it does on photobucket and the preview post function.... :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revmaynard Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Haha, yea I noticed that as soon as I saw it. The guy said the paint shop put the grille in like that 4 years ago. I have no clue why I said that was an 8.25, I work with Dana35s daily. :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alleydog Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Can't say I blame the guy for wanting to keep it , it's a nice looking truck. The red looks fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroads Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Good lookin truck. I once had a red one but now it's green with a red engine bay haha! Color is a minor detail for a nice straight MJ. 4wd swap is a labor of love, not all that difficult to achieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I'll look past the color for the condition and right 4wd is easy compared to finding the MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 UB a damn fool if you don't buy it obvious youngster. Obviously the "old man" owner took care of this truck and it's in super shape. But if you are asking, most likely you can't afford it because one of your major flaws is that it's red. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revmaynard Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 Red is a ''flaw'' just because I don't like red vehicles, I didn't think so many people would take that so seriously. He's having trouble parting with it and has to find the title, I have cash in hand ready to go! I'm doing a pulley job on his Saab as partial payment seeing as he's out of work as well. Not exactly sure what I'm ''asking'' Hornbrod, but if you read the thread I say that I will buy it regardless of the color and being 2wd because it's in such great shape. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
