6 years back it was a $300 woods beater, old guy used it to haul firewood. 
Added a 3" Rustys for the son, and fixed a few things, 
2.5L 5 AX5, NP231. 300k miles. with a knock, Loose harmonic balancer. 

Well kids being kids, he neglected it, got it hot a few times, 
had coolant leaks,   he just parted it in the Yard. 
Figured he cracked head so was ignored for a few years. 
Then I decided to take possession of it again. 
Fixed coolant looks and to my surprise wasn't cracks. 
Lots of little issues, leaking intake manifold, 
Leaking heater control valve, and leading transfer hose. 
It had 17" Charger steelies on it, I swapped it back to 
15" a set I had from a Jeep Wrangler TJ Ravines. 
He also managed to break unobtanium taillights. 
So plans are finish body work, and a fresh coat 
of Black Enamel. If I can find the Original Stripes. 
Re-add them. 
95% rust free, besides a hole under throttle pedal. 
I've had lots of Jeeps over the years. 
I drive a JK, Wife drives a WJ, my old XJ out front, 
Sold a couple SJ's, YJ is out back, sold a CJ7, CJ5, 
Oldest Son first truck was a 2wd MJ< he still has it. 
I need to find a tailgate too.....
