Hello fellow
members! I'm brand new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself and my new project. My name is Dustin, I'm 28 and an Iowa native but am currently in the state of Florida. I love working on vehicles but have limited knowledge due to teaching myself. I have learned a ton over the last six years and am sure I will learn more! I have only wrenched on Chevys up until now. I have done everything from axel swaps, lifts, tune ups, disassemble 350 and 400 motors and top end refreshes. I bought the jeep as an alternate mode of transportation to my motorcycle. Contrary to popular belief, it does get cold in Florida! Also, I don't like taking my wife's only vehicle when the weather is bad or I want to spend a day fishing. So I'm sure you all wanna hear about the Jeep huh? It's an 87 Jeep Wagoneer 4x4 with the Dana 44 rear. The motor is the I6 4.0 and it has 152,XXX miles on it and brand new tires. I paid 1100 bucks for it and its pretty clean inside and out. There's a few door dings along the body and the worst sent is on the drivers side quarter-panel. You should be able to spot these out in the pics. One thing I noticed when getting a picture of the rear axel housing is that the frame is a little tweaked on the drivers side. In the rear picture you can see the bumper is a little higher on that side. During the test drive it tracked straight but it has a horrible vibration while accelerating. I chalk this up to U-joints but will investigate further. It needs a tune up for sure and the brake system looked at due to a soft pedal. For the price, I can handle these minor issues. So here she is...
