- Minot ND, Unfortunately
I can't afford to keep fixing this Jeep I love it but I let it get too far and don't have the money to keep it up.
It currently has these issues:
-Rear brakes are shot, need new drums, pads, springs ect.
-Windshield wipers and washer don't work.
-Blower switch burned up awhile ago and haven't replaced it. A friend tried to splice some wires and nothing still.
-Speedometer doesn't work, hasn't since I got it. Estimated 200,000 on it.
-Rear springs are sagging a bit.
-Winch needs rebuild, doesn't free spool. Hasn't since I owned it.
-Little bit of rust, floorboards are good though.
The good:
New ECU, Alternator, Battery
5.5" - 6.5" lift
Front winch bumper.
Rear tire carrier.
Sliders.
Transfer case, gas tank skids.
Stereo.
Snorkle.
Front: Open D30 with 4.56's, new 297 u-joints. Resealed and put royal purple fluid in.
Rear: Truetrac D44 with 4.56's. Resealed and put royal purple fluid in.
The story behind it. I bought it from previous owner Chewbacca on here. Was in decent shape when I bought it. Wheeled it something like 10 time in Alaska. Then the military dropped me some orders to Minot, ND in August of 07'. We couldn't get it shipped down here so we tried driving it out. The ECU broke somewhere high up in Canada and being I was traveling for military I was on a timeline. Stayed a couple days up there trying to fix it but couldn't figure out the problem fast enough so I had to put it in an outdoor storage lot for a year. Drove up to get it and towed it home back in August of 08'. I tried replacing the alternator and battery to see if that would fix it but the battery kept over charging so I took the alternator back to NAPA, got a new one and it did the same thing. Came on here for some info and figured out it was the ECU. Then I recieved a short notice deployed in September before I got a chance to really work on it. So it sat all winter again this year. I finally got it running and now I just don't have the money or time for it anymore. I am trying to put money into my house to sell it.
The reason I didn't post it in the for sale section is because it isn't actually for sale on here I only want to sell it localy. I just need a base number on what I should ask. I bought it for I think $3,500 or $4,000 a couple years ago so I was thinking about asking close to that again. Does anybody agree or disagree with this? I am not leaving the XJ lifestyle for good, I just need the cash to go towards my house right now.
Picture of it up in Alaska, I can get more or you can follow the picture back to the gallery if you want.
Thanks,
Tyler
