Well here she is, not bad for $1500. I know the motor is dirty as hell but its just dust basically. 110K on it runs like a champ. Sadly i most likely have to fix that dreaded AC problem. Pics make it look alot worse underneath, it just needs to take a quick chassis bath at the local wash.

We had a '94 with the 5.2 liter and QuadraTrac in that exact same color combination. It looks pretty clean! Good find.

Nice find, and looks pretty good. Mine had a minor leak like that that left a spot on the garage floor and aggravated the snot out of me. Put a pressure tester on it and you'll find the leak. Mine had a pin-hole in the rad., but it never would blow out coolant while running. Never would've found it without the pressure tester. Never saw anything like it before.

FIXED THE COOLANT LEAK!!! it was a broken nipple by the cap. i guess someone hit it with the their finger or something and broke it off and tried to use putty to fix it. Good as new now. Realized the noise coming from under the shifter is actually my Catalytic converter that is G O N E!! lol so that and muffler are next.

Went to a local junk yard today and got 1-Pass side fender same color and liner, 1 Radio and 1 HVAC control, LIke new wheel and tire, Brand new spare tire and cover, rear cargo cover (works like new), 2 new wiper arms, New wiper motor. New PCV and vacuum rubber fittings (mine were all cracked), K&N air filter lol (like new), pass and drivers windshield molding FOR ALL $1.00 thats right, only 1 buck.

EDIT: Also what rear axle do i have?? using this site - http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...egory_Code=faq It looks to me like i have a Dana 35c. Can someone confirm?

thanks, and thanks Yea the guy that runs the local yard (45mins away) Was friends with my dad when he was in the Military he gave him hundreds of thousands of $$$ in used wreckers M1009's Cummins diesels. con-ex containers and all sorts of other ****, so when i need something he really lends out a hand and helps me out. Im pretty sure i can buy the whole 95 parts Jeep for $100 bucks lol. There were 10 ZJ's there and bout 7 or so XJ's. I swear some of the cash for clunkers cars are cleaner than mine and what i see on the road today. Its a shame really is, but o well works out for me.

Side note! the lowest mileage 4.0I6 i found was 175,000 miles the highest was 330,00k!!!! Im guessing mine at 110,000 with all service receipts from Mopar is a good motor and will be running a long *** time.

ANYONE READING THIS!! IF YOU NEED SMALL ODDS AND ENDS PARTS LET ME KNOW I CAN PROBABLY GET A GOOD DEAL ON THEM AND SHIP THEM USING USPS FLAT RATE BOXES $5-$10!
