dustytony Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Picked this up today. Doesn’t run yet, pretty rusty all over. But it’s the 4.0 with auto transmission and 4x4 shortbed. Needs lots of love but I have been missing my 86 2.5 longbed since I sold it and I have been holding out for a 4.0 4x4. So excited to get rolling!

Pete M Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 #theMJaddictionisreal what are the plans for this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustytony Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 Well the more I get into it the more rust I see (and I’m still on the outside of things!). I think this one once I get it running will be a fun daily for a while until I can find a cleaner frame and body. The interior of this one is pretty decent actually. Looks like it was fairly untouched under the hood and in the cab by previous owners. First challenge is the no start. Rolling through cruisers tips as well as part diagnostics. Not getting any fuel pressure, and not getting any fuel to the filter even. But the pump is making the start up sound so I’m wondering if the pump is just bad. Too hot to work on it this weekend though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustytony Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 Cleaned up the interior today. It’s in great shape for 30 years old! Also have the build sheet (Vehicle production broadcast it says) so that’s pretty neat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
