Kenosha Warrior Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Ok, hot tip. a 4.0L 88 XJ Pioneer. Rough body but the drivetrain is beautiful. I can get it for $200. Worth it or not? Its a complete truck, def. not for parts alone. It runs, drives, interior is spotless. I can turn it into a nice DD and keep the manche for fun OR yank the driveline and make a nice 4x4 Manche. Either or, is this a good buy or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowey Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yes. A rebuilt Puke-out is about $750 here. If you can find one. The drive train is worth alot more than $200 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 185,000 kilometers? That's only about 111,000 miles. My '88 XJ Pioneer (with the original Peugeot transmission) is currently at 266,000 and change ... MILES. The Peugeot tranny gets a bad rap. There's nothing wrong with it if you don't mistreat it, or think it's a drag race vehicle and insist on making every shift a power shift. $200? Canadian? That's not a bargain, it's a steal. Don't let it get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenosha Warrior Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Alrighty whats wrong with it: pass. rockers are toast, same with behind Pass. rear wheel. Around the flares are ok Door handles are a bit rusty, no rot though. Floors are still there, surface rusty but good to go. Purple Interior. The 3 spoke Jeep str wheel. Its green exterior, the hatch doesn't lock but latches, manual windows and locks, purrs like a kitten. I gotta email the guy. he works with me and there's another guy after it, Larry probably will let me take it though, because the other dude has ruined more vehicles in the term of his lease at Larry's building than most people own in 20 years.

feerocknok Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 :hmm: Ya ever see a deal and wonder if it's too good? It sounds like a real steal though! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenosha Warrior Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 Needs the t-case linkage adjusted too. handle in 4lo = tcase in neutral I'm still trying to think of what to do with the MJ. The cherokee is in better mechanical shape, so I may store it for the Winter. $15/mo to store it outside. Drive the chero as a Daily driver and put the MJ under the knife after I plate the cherokee.

87manche Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 rocker panel is an easy enough fix, just cut it out and replace it with box. If the floors are in good shape I'd do it in a heartbeat. Then truggy it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 I wouldn't box the rockers for a daily driver. You can buy replacement rocker panels from most of the aftermarket body parts companies for not a lot of money, and they fit pretty well. Dunno if they still have them, but a few years ago I got a set from JC Whitney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speed_racer Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Seriously dude... buying ANY vehicle WHATSOEVER that runs and drives and "purrs like a kitten" for 200 bucks... USD or Funny money, whatever it is in Canada, is a steal... I think it's funny how we as humans often ask questions we already know the answer, versus just cutting to the chase and bragging about a good deal.... that you didnt even take... :roll: Happy Jeepin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
