Here she is.
Considering the massive amount of new parts I just put into her Im looking to get 2500 obo, which is MUCH less than I already have tied up in it..
Also she's got almost a full year of registration left and the smog was just done so Im pretty sure the new owner wont need to do it again.
1995 XJ 'Mini'Jeep Cherokee (stock)
D30 front axle
D35 rear axle
np231 transfer case
aw-4 automatic transmission
4.0l engine
233000~ miles, engine rebuilt at approx. 160000 according to previous owner.
compression test confirms this and I can send video of it with a borescope video of cylinder walls
The good;
new parts installed in last 1500 miles;
exhaust manifold
battery
all battery cables from KWiP (only ground sides have been installed but the deluxe kit with fusebox is included)
rear main seal
valve cover gasket (felpro blue)
both coolant sensors (switch and guage)
cooling fan clutch
thermostat
water pump
both radiator hoses
serp belt
distributor cap and rotor
spark plugs and wires
complete pcv system
all steering linkage and balljoints
trackbar and balljoints
wipers
air filter
fuel filter
trans filter
oil filter
all fluids
i have a spare d30 with the IRO c-gussets that I will throw in with this that I was going to use to build up.
The interior is actually in pretty nice usable shape. Complete as far as I can tell and has cd player installed that works for a daily.
The bad;
Previous owner put new tires on just before I bought it and they have tons of meat left,
but the fronts were severely feathered due to all the balljoints in the steering linkage being bad.
I rotated those to the rear and balanced all four and she rolls fairly smooth considering..
It needs suspension - the shocks and springs are gone, holding up for daily use since i bought it but ugh..
shouldnt be a problem for a good lift kit
Lights in center console and climate controls dont work
The ugly;
The body - clear coats faded/peeling all over and there a nice dings and dents all over

I see, yeah unfortunately I havent been with you guys long so that makes sense. I also thought that my asking price might be a tad on the high side. But it's an obo with room for negotiation. I already know I'm taking a big loss on this project which is to be expected. But you can't fault a guy for tryin'. I figure the fact that it's a working 4wd with a solid and reliable mechanical backbone should bring at least 2k. I hope Im not wrong.
Thanks for the input.

This is the one I just installed on mine. It worked out great and SUPER cheap. From what I've heard these dont crack either.. time will tell.

What worries me is my tires, and my clutch has been acting up recently. If i come and can't make it can i ride up with you? Only way to find out if i can do it is to try!
