Incommando Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 "Hate" is such a strong word... you are hilarious and all but if you keep this kind of shenanigans up we rust-belters may feel the need to descend upon you en masse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Oh, Jim, thank goodness you found it! I knew I'd left it somewhere, just wasn't sure where! I'll PM you my address so you can return it. I was so worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 It runs! Did all the usual things for a long time sitting machine. Drained the gas. Put in 5 gallons fresh. Pulled the fuel line at the rail, turned the key and waited until fresh fuel came out. Pulled the plugs. A couple squirts of 5-30 in each cylinder. Spun it over with the starter until I got a reading on the oil pressure gauge. 20PSI. was going to change it but it looked clean on the dip stick. Coolant was OK. Replaced the plugs. A shot of ether and hit the key. It fired right off. Backed it off the trailer and drove it around the yard and parked it by the garage. Ran great. Pays to be nice to people. A lady has been restoring a 1984 Waggoner and been buying parts from me for the last year. I've been giving her a good price on them and lot's of advice. A couple times she needed help and I went over to her house and did what I could. Her and the lady who owned the MJ were friends and when she mentioned she wanted to sell it the lady I been helping gave her my name and number. Drove 20 miles, took one look at it and gave her $400 and loaded it up. That makes 12 now. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyav8r Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 MJ under 100K miles, plus metric ton, plus no evident body damage or rust - would go easily for $2000 or more around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 No HO'S. Just Renix. Newest MJ I got is a '90 4.0. Would like to get my sweaty paws on a 91 and 92. Make my collection complete. Got a bunch of HO XJ'S, ZJ and WJ.When I get the time, going to be doing a couple engines swaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
