JordanTMiller Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Welp. As posted on my other thread I picked up a clean titled 1989 2wd 4.0 Pioneer long bed for $500 this weekend. She’s pretty picked a part in places but solid where it counts besides for that rust spot on the driver side floor but minor details. So far I’ve only dragged her into the garage and cleaned out the 97 monster energy cans and one deer rack out of the back and in the cab. The engine bay is pretty overwhelming at the moment not knowing what all the previous owner has ripped out and broken along the way but we’ll see what happens as we move forward with it. Luckily it came with tons of spare MJ/XJ parts with more coming as the PO finds them. Here’s to BionBeer in the Pioneer one day🍻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll definitely take you up on that once I get a list going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Janitor Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Almost thought you bought your old silver MJ back. That thing looks pretty straight, but if you do decide to hack it up for parts let me know. Think I mentioned I need a long bed and cab corners.

I have two of everything now with the old XJ and MJ parts both taking up space in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have to determine if any water got in the current 4.0 in the new rig😣 Also when you pull that rear axle of yours for one tons in the future I would kindly give you moneys for it as well😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same year and trim. I definitely will keep you updated if I go that route or find anymore MJ’s on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll reserve the MJ d44 for you. If you want the engine and trans from the MJ or the newer stuff off the XJ, let me know. T-case is gone, but engine and trans is still here (And all the XJ wiring, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Janitor Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I don't know what fab skills/tools you guys got but if you need any welding done hit me up. Anything I don't have in my shop I have at my other job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely be interested in the engine and possibly the trans. I know I’m going to keep this one 2wd for now. If you have a price in mind let me know sometime, I’m in no major rush or anything. Thanks man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanTMiller Posted April 28, 2020 Author Share Posted April 28, 2020 I came across a screaming deal on some toyos on fuel wheels that I couldn’t pass up! I’m thinking they sure would look good on the new long bed with the new dana44 from @thecodemonk setup for SOA! Just need some coils and arms for the front🤔 Oh, and maybe make it run but minor details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanTMiller Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 The BionBeer project will always be on the back burner when it comes to which Jeep gets something fun and new first but I did get the dana44 from @thecodemonk mocked up for install so the long bed didn’t feel totally left out. Found some 33x10.50x15’s on 15x10 fake beadlocks wheels for $60 so I snagged those. Still deciding on control arms for the front before I throw the RE coils in with the SOA. It’s not much but any little bit further on a project is always fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanTMiller Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Project Leftovers is at the bottom of the list when it comes to receiving attention but it finally got its Dana44 installed with SOA in the rear on 33s. Trying to decide on what setup I want to throw my RE coils on with in the front now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanTMiller Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 It's starting to look like this project might get parted out to fund another one🤷🏼♂️ Life is crazy and goes way too fast. I don't want to see it go but it happens. I'm probably better off parting it out over selling it whole so my question is before I part out the bed what is the going price for a clean straight long bed with tail lights, tailgate, and bed? I know what the tail lights and tailgates bring in. Located in Spokane WA by the way. I know prices differ around the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodemonk Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hit me up if you ever plan on selling that tailgate separate. I'll buy it off of ya as I think it's straighter than the one I have now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the going rate still 250-300ish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodemonk Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 It was $498 shipped from Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 sell it whole. parting out a truck is a super duper pain in the butt. any extra cash you might get you will work for. and in the end you'll still have a body to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parting out takes longer, but my experience in selling my wrecked XJ was quite the opposite of what you mentioned. People were more than willing to come over and pull the parts themselves (especially since it was in a shop, shaded and shielded from the elements) and I made $4k from selling the parts (I sincerely doubt anyone would have paid more than $2k at MOST for the whole thing). The last guy even took the body (since he wanted the whole body wiring loom but wanted to take his time doing it at his own place). Granted, the high dollar items were the bumpers and axles, but you might be surprised how much people want in parts. I even had several repeat customers. I think the real question is: Do you have months to just have the body sitting around while it slowly gets stripped down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodemonk Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 There's also the consideration of it being mostly complete and, since it's salvagable, someone might be willing to restore it and keep one more MJ on the road... ...or turn it into a matching trailer for another MJ >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 yes, but that's an XJ. MJs have more value than their siblings when whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tailgate is $300 if still interested, just wanted to make sure you get first dips if you wanted it. No worries if not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 did you even try to sell it whole? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
