shrapneltyphoon Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Found a 86 2.5 about 3miles from my place. The good. It has 4wd and it has tail lights. The bad. Looks like it may have forgot which way was up in its life. Dented roof, drip rails rusted off, bed dented in, someone tried to take out the windshield, no serp belt, alternator bracket was picked, and all four tires are dry rotted. Even if i just get it for parts not sure on a good offer for it. Either that or it goes to the crusher this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 how's the rust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrapneltyphoon Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Floorboards exist. Both doors and rockers are peeling back paint but not eaten through...yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Consider what a pair of taillights alone sells for. Of course it's worth getting, if you have a place to put it while you pick it apart. Unfortunately, as much as I'd like to see tham all saved, that one sounds like it might be too far gone, but ... they don't make MJ body parts any more. I'd offer $100 for starters.

shrapneltyphoon Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 He would probably take it lol. I knew the owner before him and it was a daily driver rig. I guess about six years ago this guy bought it and put it out to pasture, literally. Been sitting out in his pasture for six years with the cows -_-' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeep Driver Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Offer him $300 for it, like yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 1 hour ago, shrapneltyphoon said: it's seen better days Not nearly as bad as I envisioned from your description. That roof dent can be hammered out so nobody would ever know it was there. Takes time and patience, but nothing more than a light body hammer. Offer him $100, see what you can settle on. It's worth saving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 looks better than some that I've purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 That thing looks mint. If it was mine I'd be swapping an engine in it right meow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 That one looks better than the MJ I've been driving to work this week. I'd offer low, but have $500 ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Agreed, buy it. Start low because he's not gonna get much at the crusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Buy that thing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrapneltyphoon Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 I should have taken pictures while i was out there. That was the good side lol. Side note, finally figured out where my damn jeep obsession came from. Proof kevin bacon has been in everything. Even a jeep gladiator. Love tremors. But gonna hit the guy up tomorrow and make a offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepSchmidt O'Guinness Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) I knew there was a reason I liked that truck, haven't seen that in well over a decade. But is that a factory roll bar? P.S. And for the love of all that is jeep, Don't let the brake lights get crushed! Edited May 5, 2018 by JeepSchmidt O'Guinness Brakelights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrapneltyphoon Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 Nope not factory, looks good though. Well if i pick it up this week expect either a parts sale or me getting yelled at for buying a fourth jeep. Was going to try today but damn break in at work had me fortifying defenses all day. Damn thieves had to ruin my day off. Also theyre idiots. Got 10.00 worth of pennies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyoCherokee Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 That roll bar and tail lights alone are worth $500 Save that sucker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
