I bought mine on ebay, so I figured I would be in for some surprises. A box of rubbers, an old newspaper, .35 cents under the seat, a flat tire, zero gas, front rotors were smoked, wasted front ball joints, worn out suspension, and an air filter that was so dirty I believe it was the one that came with the jeep back in 2000.

 

found that the previous owner bent the clutch pedal. and tried to remove the rear shocks but broke 1 of the bolts off and decided to just go ahead and weld the bar pin to the jeep..... :/

 

dog hair, Indian lore, operating scissors(Yes like from a hospital), flood deposits up to the windows, burn seats, chewed up seat and headliner

 

lol, some of these are just rediculous. My surprises came when I did my first tune up.

Let's see, when I replaced the spark plug wires, I went to pull the wire off the ignition coil.. it snapped. Turns out the electrode on the end of the coil had been GLUED on.. That was annoying

Went to turn on my a/c on a hot day only to very quickly realize it doesnt work.

Leaves... everywhere

A worm in the hatch

O, and my fave.. a reciept from spencer's in the glovebox for a blowup doll...

 

1) wow, what an idiot!
2) meh, neither does mine, lol. it's actually one of the hoses cracked and all the R134-A leaked out.
3) scary, isn't it?

 

Today, i started pulling out the rear trim to start pullin the carpet to bed line the rear portion of the jeep, and i found dog hair everywhere behind the trim along with a dozen or so big *** stink bug beetle things, WTF!!!! haha!

and they broke the drivers side shock perch off, so they attached a piece of 3/16th steel to the lca bracket, and put two chunks of alum, with sqaures holes in them, and then two 1/2 inch nuts, and then the shock and put two of those bolts that have a round head on the top threw there. took me forever to get them off. wtf, im going to need a new axle soon anyways. The drivers side coil perch is about rusted off.

 

Stripping the interior out of my 98 ZJ that has been sitting for two years so i can shampoo the carpet, this pops out from somewhere.

 

Well I got my xj from craigslist from a pretty sketchy neighborhood, It had stupid 17" ghettoed out rims on it!

Well, I got it home, but real tires and rims on and realized as i was driving it that the fog light button started the motor!!!! I think they wired it up because of an iffty NSS suitch

Well on my first wheeling voyage I went through a pretty deep puddle half way down the trail well she stalled and my buddy pulled it home to find that some idiot had drilled a hole right through the side of the distributer to try and re bolt the cap down after breaking off the old screw

long story short the dude just let the distributer hangin on with one screw and a hole in the side of it

Why do people have to screw up perfectly good jeeps?

 

dude... WHAT!?!?!?!?! i might not be a cannabis connoisseur, but i know a lot of money sitting idle when i see it. dang, man! whoever you bought that ZJ from must have been flipping out later going "aw, man! i think i just gave away my stash! bummer, dude... as long as i didn't leave my Phish CDs in the player... wait... aww, maaaannnnnnnn..."

 

Only thing i found in my jeep was a Crack pipe....lol

 

cannabis connoisseur lol never heard that one before...

anywho, i found a case pocketknife, a place under the seat where a hole had been patch with fiberglass i guess, 5 holes where water could pour in like a waterfall on the passenger side, and a shifter bezel that could not be put back on because the console was broke

 

It was my Brother in Laws old Jeep...

No wonder he always went fishin... only thing he was catchin was a Buzz.

I thought about calling him and asking if he wants it back.. but i just tossed it instead.

 

^lol, i like how it is in an old drill bit package as well. like a humidor: air tight! hahaha

 

oh yeah

forgot to add this that i found the other day......ANTS yes live ants, they were living UNDER the carpet ......my only question was WHAT DID THEY EAT? i found them a while after i got the jeep, and i dont leave food or crumbs in the heep cause i keep the carpets REALLY clean all the time

 

in the ugly chicken i didnt get much of anything. i got the old gauge cluster (po just replaced it, cost $400 to do!) 3 pennies, a car charger that the po before the po (from 2001) left in it and a candy wrapper.....i havent searched really well under the seats so there might be something stuck under there
