MJ for parts - Cheromanche?
The brother of a guy who runs a local Jeep shop just totaled his '88 MJ shortbed. He cracked the front subframe and they decided it's not repairable so he's dumping it.
They just pulled the engine and drive train, but the cab, bed, interior and axles all go. Bed is straight and generally solid, with a little rust starting to show just above the flares (where they all start to rust). Flares are there, plus a bunch of other parts. It has a new windshield and a new rear slider window. Interior is tan with vinyl buckets. He's asking $300 for the whole thing, and it's gotta be worth twice that in parts.
If interested, call Paul at 203-393-2481 (home) or 203-687-1800 (cell).
<EDIT>In discussing this truck with my brother over breakfast, we realized that this is a perfect candidate for anyone interested in grafting a Comanche bed to a 4-door Cherokee to build a true Cheromanche. The cab is intact and would serve to close off the back of the Cherokee after chopping the roof and cargo area off. Bed and frame are all there and appear generally solid. It would also be a good donor MJ for building an off-road trailer to match a Cherokee.</EDIT>
