Got Another One.

[jimoshel]

Ho Hum, So what's new?

1987 metric ton, 4.0, 5 speed, 4WD, 78,248 on the clock. Ladies husband died in '98. Been sitting in the garage ever since. She selling the house and wanted it gone.

[Incommando]

"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.

[onlyinajeep726]

Jim... you sir, are a lucky SOB.  Good find.  Does this make the 8th, 9th MJ you have possession over in the Western US? lol

[shelbyluvv]

He sold about a dozen of them off earlier this year!

[neohic]

Nice one, Jim! Real sharp machine you've got there!

[13 Legion]

Wanted "it" gone......Oh man what a sweet find! :banana:

[Geonovast]

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.

[jimoshel]

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:

[jimoshel]

Gee Cory. I'm just not going to give it to ya. You gotta prove it's yours. What color was yours? . :MJ 1: .

[johnny quest]

$400?! jeeeeeez. I'll give you $500 for it ;)

[Geonovast]

Gee Cory. I'm just not going to give it to ya. You gotta prove it's yours. What color was yours? . :MJ 1: .

 

 

What color is a red firetruck?

[jimoshel]

ahh,,gee. That's a tough one. Let me Google it and I'll get back to ya.

[Keyav8r]

Only Jim. Nobody, repeat, nobody else has that luck. Or gift. Or whatever. $400! Really?

Only $400!!!?? You are one lucky SOB!

[GirsMJ86]

That truck would be 3x that or more around here...

[Keyav8r]

MJ under 100K miles, plus metric ton, plus no evident body damage or rust - would go easily for $2000 or more around here.

[92tanMJ]

My lord.. $400?? I could only wish to be that lucky... :fs2:

[HOrnbrod]

Got any HO MJs yet Jim? You must have every Renix MJ within a 300 mile radius by now.

[jimoshel]

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.
