Heads up when buying.

I'm looking at buying a 1992 MJ automatic for pretty cheap.

 

I went to look at it tonight, engine looked in really good condition, owner seemed to take care of it, interior is in good shape. Not much rust on the cab, just under the door which would be annoying to fix. front end seems fine, chassis seems straight. It was dark so i couldn't see under the chassis but the frame didn't have any rust holes just a lot of surface rust i hope.

 

So i don't know much about the 92's so whats good/bad what tranny is it running, what T-case. what to look out for, any info on the 92's would be awesome.

Pretty Cheap saids it all :D

 

'92, last year the MJ was made, should have a 4.0 HO engine, the auto should be the AW4 (Good) and NP 231 transfer case (Good)

 

Might be a good idea to go back and look at it in the day light, to make sure the frame is not rotted out. Rockers can be patched, if the door bottoms are rotted, can be replaced with good XJ doors ('84-96) I guest the main thing would be how many miles on the clock?? Over 200K?? around 100K (better) but if the price is right, go for it. :D

Yep I'm definitely going back to look at it in the day, so we'll see what the frame has in store for me hehe.

i'd get underneath it and poke around on the floors and what-not.

I yea, I'm really going to get under there and check everything out, floor pans, lines, axles, leaks you name it. Engine compartment seems relatively dry and oil free, which seems good.

 

Also i would assume it is running the D35 in the rear?

[89eliminator]

most likely.

don't forget to check brake lines! and wiggle the u-joints on the front axle. if they have any movement drop the price as they are expensive to have replaced and take time on your hands if you do it.
