No, you're not experiencing deja-vu; I'm re-posting again under the correct Screen name.
Well, I was not thoroughly impressed with my Acura's performance on the RTI ramp at Crawfords at the Crawl this year (It actually sustained minor body damage) and thus have been considering how to get my wheeling fix in since July.
Last week while perusing Craigslist I see " '87 Jeep Wagoneer, needs work $500" and it's relatively local (score!).
I find out that 'needs work' means the AW-4 won't shift out of 1st, but otherwise it sounds like a really clean, solid jeep. I got email pics and then showed up to be further impressed by this little jeep. So I cut a deal with the owner and left a deposit.
Had to go out of town last Friday and just got back today to pick her up
I had gotten some input from the OEM tech forum ('link') so I went today to write a check and sign the title, then went to the jeep unplugged the TCU and drove it home.
Here is my new toy :
More Pics here ( Album )
Initially I though it had a d35 in it; turns out it's a 44!
Plans include
- no more than 3 inches of lift
- 31's or 32's
- trimming
- armor
- eventually a traction aiding device for one or both ends.
'Bang for the buck' will be top priority throughout the whole build.
Anyone here in the Southeast who has parts to sell for this, please let me know!
