Sir Sam Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Coworker picked this up in December. We lucked out and got bored at work and checked CL, noticed this was just posted. Managed to be the first people to check it out so my buddy bought it.It's 90MJ with a 97 drivetrain/front clip. Got some nice upgrades on it, and mechanically its sound. Its a solid body thats been stripped to bare metal and repainted. Seems like the guy who built it got it about 90% done, and then either was happy with it, or got tired of it and moved on.The AC needs to be finished - Its missing most of the AC components.Airbag light is on.No parking break.Old style XJ seats in a 97+No carpet.Missing a few interior trim pieces or not installed right.Door panels are ratty.97 two tone interior.So its seems like someone did a whole bunch of things right - but just totally half assed the interior. The good thing is that an interior revamp is minor project compared to everything else, for my buddy that means that for a little bits in some used parts, and some labor, he can make it into a pretty clean interior MJ with a solid drivetrain.The good news is that its imminently wheelable and useable, and everything else is just small project stuff.http://colorado4wheel.com/images/1988_MJ/IMG_7158.JPGhttp://colorado4wheel.com/images/1988_MJ/IMG_7159.JPGhttp://colorado4wheel.com/images/1988_MJ/IMG_7160.JPGhttp://colorado4wheel.com/images/1988_MJ/IMG_7161.JPGhttp://colorado4wheel.com/images/1988_MJ/IMG_7162.JPG3" coils, upper/lower control arms, HD trackbar, SYE.

Sir Sam Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 So we hit the junkyards this weekend and picked up a few things.Got a proper 97+ cooling fan, he had an old 94- flat blade fan.Picked up a set of 99+ sport seats in great condition.Grabbed a 00 XJ limited drivers side electric base and added it to the sport seat. Electric seats are $2 more than manual seats, didnt even get charged extra for the electric base, nice score.Got a 00 XJ trip computer and installed it in the yard into a ZJ short console for sunroof. This is pretty rare to find the ZJ with factory sunroof, and they have a short console so it works well for the MJ roof, then putting in the XJ trip computer means it will function 100% correct for the XJ.Got an antenna plastic mount that had been missing off of his.Got a clockspring - his clockspring was from a Jeep with blown airbags. His airbags are installed in the jeep, but the connector for the airbag was trash. Got the new one installed and the airbag light is off, airbags should be 100% functional now!We also picked up a bunch of small stuff from thejeepgod.The two of us are working an upgrade in Freeport the bahamas for a few weeks, hopefully when we get back we can get some more stuff installed on his Jeep.http://colorado4wheel.com/images/1988_MJ/IMG_8031.JPGhttp://colorado4wheel.com/images/1988_MJ/IMG_8033.JPGhttp://colorado4wheel.com/images/1988_MJ/IMG_8034.JPGhttp://colorado4wheel.com/images/1988_MJ/IMG_8036.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
