sweet jeep!!

 

Cool! For $200 that is easily something you can work with. Before buying off Ebay, look around the local CL again and see if you can find another steal for cheap. Even one that is wrecked toy grab all the parts you need for the $200 XJ.

I'm cheap, even though I bought my 90 XJ for $700, I got a parts 87 XJ for free... The parts XJ is long gone, the rear lower half is becoming a trail trailer...

 

if the carpet is bad, you could always strip it out and bedline the floor. Nice find, great price!

 

Sweet find! I can never find deals that good around here. Hope to see some progress pictures.

 

wow nice deal, i love in the middle east and i always wanted to have a cherokee for a little bit of dune'in and i found one paid 3000$ for it and the condition is the same as yours =P well i guess i was hasty, though mine is a 2001 model =). Pls keep us updated. btw its my first cherokee and my first car =).

 

i got mine for 500 and i think yours has less rust than mine. good job bud. welcome from mass. mine didnt come with an exclusive ant breeding ground tho (

 

Lifted up the rear half of the carpet wad happy to see only light surface rust in a few areas and I am hoping its the same in the front. I killed all the ants back there with some raid! Was disappointing to see that the previous owner had spilled things and never cleaned them moisture was trapped in the insulation and it was molded.....














hmmm new carpet or bedline it.....what should i do???

 

definately bedline it, then if'n you get mud on the inside you could just spray it out.

 

definitely bedline it! it works great, i just stick my water hose in there and let it fill up then drain out!

 

I forgot to pos the pics of the front half after i pulled the complete interior....
just a little carpet / dirt rot and some surface rot. I am going to knock that out and bedline it. But I first want to make sure i get it up and running before i do any of that so after i sand it and primer out the rust I will be done with interior until shes ready to roll

 

I pulled off the valve cover and it was filthy i wonder when the last time was the previous owner changed the oil if you are wondering yes it is the inside of the valve cover completely charred black. This was my stopping point before i got to work






Also i think i figured out why the prev owner said it ran rough on lower Rpms

The spark plugs were bad even though she said she just changed them they were filled with carbon buildup. I wonder if they put the old ones back in after they couldnt get it fixed. Also I found a vacuum line dry rotted with a 3 inch crack in it just hangin not connected. I think it may be the problem.

 

nice work!

 

I got my head today cant wait to get this thing up and running!

 

Where did you pick up the cleaner i need to get some of that

 

Any auto parts store should have it I think it was 5 bucks. I got mine from Oreillys.
