Joop Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joop Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
