boxyjeep Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Nice truck! Great work on the resto. I don't know how accurate this statement is based on the pics in your build thread though... "Was a 99% rust free truck before restoration" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accidentally clicked the 9 twice instead of a 0 at the end. And I am talking about rust holes not actual surface rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

500 MJ Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I have to ask. What did you end up doing with the engine and the troubles you had with it? For the asking price you have you’ll want to make sure that it is clear to everyone here and other potential buyers online that the issues you had are COMPLETELY resolved...documenting all the work on here on a build thread/comments is a great thing to tell the story of what has been done. It can also work the other way and bring more attention to issues like this when you ask the price you are looking to get for it. Good luck with a clean sale. I hope this truck goes to a good home.

We have fixed he engine troubles. I’m just working on some preventative things now. I won’t sell it until that is finished, but I am seeing if there is any interest now.

89 MJ Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 I still have not put a new crank in it, but I should be here in the next month or so. Here is a link to the build thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted October 22, 2019 Author Share Posted October 22, 2019 The freshly rebuilt AX-15 and new crank will be going in to the MJ in the next couple of weeks. Once those are in, it is going to be listed for sale on Facebook too. I have more money in this thing including parts and labor than my asking price! I also have several hundreds of dollars worth of parts that will go with to return it to stock if desired! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
