Well, my wife went out and bought herself a new Jetta two weeks ago. That means the '00 XJ she was driving is now mine....again. So, with two reliable vehicles, we can't come up w/ a good reason to keep my beloved '88 XJ. I would love to build it, but honestly, my boat is my first passion and she gets all the spare $$$$. This XJ has been in my family since new and never wheeled. My dad was the original owner and I got it from him w/ 192K roughly a year and a half ago when I needed a car and couldn't afford to buy a nice, new one. I have all the service records and records of the things I did myself.
So, here's the details on my 1988 XJ Pioneer 4x4 that is now for sale:
1988 Jeep Cherokee Pioneer, Olympic Edition (whatever that means) - 99% stock
4.0 liter that runs good, AW4 that shifts smooth, NP231, D30 front (open) , D35 rear(open) - this was my daily driver
213,000 miles
No leaks that I know of
Power steering
Power brakes
AM/FM radio (original unit)
Dark blue exterior w/ little clear coat remaining, body is good and straight.
Dark blue interior, cloth seats in excellent condition, just needs a light cleaning
5 spoke aluminun wheels in descent shape w/ P21575R15 Kirkland All-Terrian radials in descent shape
A/C which I am going to have recharged soon
New 100 Amp alternator and I performed the charging system upgrades
New CCV lines, inside valve cover was cleaned and reinstalled w/ RTV and cork gasket - little to no blowby
New front trac bar
New T-Stat, coolant and heater hoses, coolant bottle
New exhaust
New oil pressure sender - guages reads approx. 20 at idle and 48 on highway once she gets up to operating temp.
I also have a set of springs and shackles from a '98 XJ that I was preparing to install w/ a new budget boost. The leafs were completely disassembled, sanded as smooth as I could get them, primed w/ Rustoleum and then painted w/ gloss black Rustoleum. They still need to be lubricated, assembled and installed. The BB is a 2" full length AAL from Rusty's and 1.75" coil spacers from RE. I've gots LOTS of time in the preparation of the leafs!
Now for what it could use/needs:
Fluids changed in the trans, t-case and diffs. It's been awhile....
Possibly a radiator. The band that wraps around the rad. snapped and as a result of resting against the rad, wore a small hole in it. It's currenlty patched w/ JB Weld and seems to be holding fine.
Light bulb in the climat control panel.
Rear hatch panel needs to be reattached. All the mounts were broken so I removed the panel, ground off what was left of the mounts and never got around to making spacers and putting it back on.
TB should probably be cleaned.
I would really rather not have to sell this but I can't come up w/ a good enough reason to keep her. The ol' gal would make an excellent building platform. The only thing I ask, is that if the new owner does build her up....please send me pictures!
I WILL NOT part her out so please don't ask. I'd rather have the additional monthly expenses of keeping her than cut her up.
Location: Pasadena, MD 21122
Price: $2000 w/ the BB and newer springs, $1750 w/out. I'm also open to REASONABLE offers. I'm not gonna give her away.
I hate to see her go, but like I said, we can't come up w/ a good enough reason to keep her.
I'll see if I can dig up some pictures tonight.
