brucecooner Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 1JTML63P6JT129962 1988 - Pioneer 4.0L Gray 5 speed manual 4x4, no info on axles, yet four wheel drum brakes 186963 miles when I parked it in my driveway Gray interior, bench seat. The VIN check only went back to 2000, but it was already north of 180K by then, so it looks like the bulk of its miles were put on in the previous century. After 2000 the miles accumulated slowly, but it was registered yearly and, I suspect, garaged based on its dang near pristine state. Other than faded paint on the hood and roof, it's a time capsule. Everything in the dash is original, and everything works (even the Jeep branded tape deck). It came with the nicer Jeep five spoke wheels of the era, but the original rims were included with it. Currently in the Southwest in sunny Goodyear, Arizona. Apparently I'm the fourth owner. The man who sold it to me is a mechanic who buys and sells lots of XJ's and MJ's, he said the original owner had only recently let it go to someone who brought it to him. Starts, runs, and drives like a new one. The only concerning mechanical issue is a very slow start when warm. Squeaks like a thirty year old truck, some new suspension bits are probably in order. I don't plan on making any major alterations, but am considering bucket seats and front disc brakes. I intend it to be my daily driver but I work from home so no commuting for this guy. And I will definitely have it off the pavement from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brucecooner Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 Thanks EagleScout. You saved me some hunting. I was doing a little snooping for VIN decoders today, but hadn't dug up any sources this detailed. And yep we're not far apart. I've probably watched one of your rigs pass me on the 101 in the recent past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 No problem! These build sheets are direct from Chrysler. Hahaha probably, haven’t taken the XJ out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
