JeepcoMJ Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Picked up jakewi's 87 mt today...this was jakeman's. Too rusty to fix. Got 5 solid hours in on it, fluids drained, shafts-exhaust-engine-trans-cooling system-harness (es)-tailsand interior are out. Doing glass and axles and treat springs tomorrow then it's off to scrap.. Well party pics once I've got a computer tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 so, that took 5 hours. I've got all day tomorrow to finish up the deed. what's left... front axle rear axle remainder of harness's fuel sending unit MT springs then use the forklift to load it up onto the trailer, and load it with scrap. should get back about $450 in scrap, jake gets his tires back, and I've got a new engine to go in my brother's '88MJ, plus MT springs for the back of the 3800, and a bunch of parts that I don't need. the main point of buying this was for the light blue bucket seat interior for the future restoration of our 2.1 turbo diesel comanche. the rest is just bonus.

Zenobian_84 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Am ungodly jealous of that interior. Wow; I believe that's only the 2nd one I've ever seen (bucket setup). Nice work getting everything out to send it on it's way. :wrench: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 stripping down the engine to clean, paint, re-seal, 99+ port matched intake, borla header, crane cam, and (with luck in finding the parts) a 4.2 crank and rods plus new rings. the engine will be going in the maroon truck...interior in the new body for the blue one (diesel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee21490 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Am ungodly jealous of that interior. Wow; I believe that's only the 2nd one I've ever seen (bucket setup). Nice work getting everything out to send it on it's way. :wrench: I've owned both, Old truck was bench, 'new' one is bucket. Honestly can't decide which was more comfy.. The bench i had more head room / easier to see out the window, But my knees were pushed into the dash. Buckets i have more leg room but my heads an inch from the roof / have to bend down to see traffic lights :rotf: I need to replace my buckets desperately though, The bracket is all broken / torn fabric etc. Sucks being 6'5~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
