The P.O. left me a ripped apart interior, small tires on rims (almost had a heart attack to see more rim than tire on a Jeep!), an old manual, and an engine held together with bubble gum and duct tape.

LT245 Goodyear tires, Rubicon wheels, and BLACK coolant... Oh yea, and a Pioneer Stereo with factory speakers, so a bunch of spliced audio wires still can't figure them out! Also a driver's side speaker that don't work. Chery never left the road until I owned her, so much happier now.

Lets see. A front axle that leaked and end the end had to get a new shaft on one side. Need a new coil and spring mount bracket. Some minor electrical problems. Also needed new tires.
Oh and it was stock.

mines a 1989 limited
the good:
-flowmaster muffler with turn down
-3 inch lift
-quick disco's
-good condition leather power seats besides the driver seat, that one is held in by nothing but good luck and clenched buttcheeks...
the bad:
-no thermostat to speak of
- cracked pressure bottle cap
- battery cables were corroded so bad they melted and fused together
- stereo gone
-leaking rear main seal
-hood light gone
-bald 31's tires
-vent lights dont work
-floor lights didnt work till i put a new fuse in
-****ed up wiring from someone who shouldn't touch wiring
-headliner gone
-rear hatch plastic molding gone
- all interior dome lights gone
-plugged heater core
-no key to door locks
-rear passenger side shock mount broke one bolt and left it in there.
-front right fog light apparently lost the bolt holding it on, so instead of goin to the hardware store and getting a 2 dollar replacement, they just cut it off and threw it in the backseat....
-rotten doughnuts
-rotten cookies
-half sucked lollypop stuck to carpet
-various ketchup packets
-corn nuts melted and stuck to carpet and inside door pockets....
-took off keyless door entry and threw it in the glovebox...
-broken thermostat housing bolt in the head...
-cracked windshield
if i try to think of any more i might just cry...I've owned the jeep for about 2 months now...and about every 5-7 days something new goes wrong or breaks...atleast im a mechanic

Bad: Brown fluids in every possible place that required fluids or oils. Missing rear shock on passenger side, rest of the shocks were rusted in the depressed position and had no life in them, almost rusted through the outside shell (Those were replaced immediately), antenna wiring lost behind the firewall somewhere so no radio, bad thermostat, bald tires. No rear wiper arm. Small leak in radiator. Wiring for the power locks/windows and interior lights were melted and fused together under the center console and under the carpet leading to the interior fuse panel. Oh, and I also DID NOT inherit any floorboards or floors period for that matter.
Good: Almost flawless body aside from rusted out rocker panels, which I cut out. All good glass, great interior. Trans and T-case were good and worked really well/shifted real smooth. Oh, they had directly wired the electric auxiliary fan directly to the ignition, so that was always a good thing I didn't have to do.
