Another Comanche....

[Joop]

Just bought another MJ today :nuts:

A rusty old 86 LB with the 2.1 turbodiesel

 

 

 

 

Lots of rust on the outside, but the interior and a lot of the plastic stuff is in pretty good shape. Engine startet after a can of starting fluid and lots of cranking, runs good but its leaking oil everywhere. My plan is to tear out everything i might need on my other mj and build a trailbeater out of the rest. My dream is to put in a v8 and fullsize axels, but to begin with i will give the oil burner a chance

i would keep the 2.1 TD...they are far and few between

if you part out, i'm interested in the COMPLETE drivetrain.

 

I'd probably find you a 4.0 mj in trade as well if you'd be interested.

Jeepco, do you realize he's in Norway?

[JeepcoMJ]

sorry...just read the LA sticker and assumed wrong...

 

that said, still interested :D

Heck, Joop -- that's all just surface rust. Looks like the body is still mostly sound and solid under the rust. Stop it before it gets any worse and you have a viable truck.

Jeepcomj and eagle: How could it be that i knew what your replies whould be?

 

I think i have enough parts laying around to get it back on the road, i just don't know if its worth it. I have no need for it, and i don't think i would get much for it if i sell it. About every second jeep here is a diesel, and they have a bad reputation for beeing lazy and unreliable.

 

Still...I'm not 100% certain about the trailbeater thing, it would have been fun to restore it as well...
