Kona Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Here she is Kona II, 88mj picked up last night. Ready to be resurrected ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftpiercecracker1 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Straight body, no rust, clean interior, 4.0, looks like a killer platform to start with. :thumbsup: Diggin the bed bars too. Your location says Nashville, where at? We've got a middle TN chapter going with several members and are always looking to find more. When we do meet its usually in Murfreesboro, all the guys live in or around the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megadan Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Nice truck! Going to keep it 2wd or do you plan to do a 4wd conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kona Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 plan to do 4x4 conversion as soon as I can. at the moment I'm taking care of all the mechanical issues, rear main seal, all gaskets, since needed a radiator in doing open system, getting a 91+ brake booster tomorrow from the yard, just all the basics and some to make it road ready at least. found a 2 door xj with good seats for $50 might take them too.

Kona Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 And Kona II drove today under her own power no problem! Did 70mph like it was nothing! Drives smooth !! And yes, it's for sale on CL. But only for crap that went down after I got it ( personal not crap with the manche), but if i can get out I the mess I'm in I'll keep it! ( no really trying hard to move it either! ).
