i paid 300 bux for my 88 laredo 2 weeks ago technically not running at the time towed it home and the next day replaced the broken steering column with one from pull a part for 20 bux and wired in a push button start. front bumper and right front fender are dented sunroof is permantly sealed and headliner is falling down, power door locks dont work but who really cares. working on getting the heater fixed but no rush i saw a 3 inch lift on the cherokee that i robbed the column out out of so i will be going back to aquire that and next week i will be starting a t3 turbo install. oh yeah 239,xxx on the clock motor runs pretty strong i do need to chase down a vaccum leak when i put it in park it idles up to about 1500 rpm so far including parts and transfering title to my name im into it about 400 bux.
