Re: 88 Jeep XJ bad motor $1500

oh im not gonna scrap the old girl yet. it will be a cold day in hell. but im still pushing to see that she finds a good home. someone with love, and one tons and a tube bender.....maybe someone who needs to replace a beater camry with a true diamond XJ in the rough.....
 
Re: 88 Jeep XJ bad motor $1500

If you were certainly closer, I would buy it, fix it up, and sell it on to another mechanically challenged member. I love quick mini-fix it projects. :D
 
Re: 88 Jeep XJ bad motor $1500

oh doug is VERY mechanically challenged ;) but hey im happy someone would like to play nice with my jeep
 
Re: 88 Jeep XJ bad motor $1500

What's the verdict on the motor?
 
Re: 88 Jeep XJ bad motor $1500

runs
could use a refresh but she does move about on her on steam.
 
ok so she now coms with an ho head and intake. spare parts. come on guys. some one needs to build a jeep. a dark blue one. :D
 
ok so seeings how it looks like mt old blue jeep will be mine forever, and that i might be scoring a job at the local pick and pull, i need this thread killed off please

i will build her better, stronger, faster. i have one big mongo jeep i think blue is going to evolve in to a street machine.

happy jeeping folks
 
man, that's a pretty jeep! i think it's worth building! i'd keep at least all-terrains on it, in case you see a trail on the way to work or something, wink wink...
but it's too nice to give up on! bring it back, and if you keep it in the shape it's in now, one day you'll be glad you did!
