here is my newest addition to the family.

92 Eliminator, 4.0 HO with 112,000 miles, 4x4, AW4. some rust, but the floors are solid and its got a new radiator, new exhaust, rhino-lined bed, mint interior, and full skid plate package. also has class 3 hitch. it drives freakin fantastic and thats all i wanted. gonna be the new winter beater and i will be selling my car. build date is 4-92 which is the last month they were built. its a slim possibility that this is the last MJ ever built. gonna email jeep to see what they say.

Are you going to make it a very capable work truck? 30 or 31" ATs? And I can't wait to see this build going underway. I think the green will look great on there.

here are some more pics. i checked all the fluids today and they are all brand new. somebody must have just drained and replaced all the fluids. also has new manifold to cat exhaust pipe, and even the spare tire winch works perfectly! the only thing i need to do is fix the leaking sending unit on the tank and the rear pinion seal and this thing is good to go.
