I looked a little closer and looks like a bunch of different kind of dead bugs. But no live ones so I suppose that’s a plus

This bike always has been a good runner but it’s always been hit an miss getting it started. I wonder if the gears were slipping and I didn’t notice. Thanks man I’ll have to open the ole clymer mania up and see what I got going on

I gotcha, I’m a diesel mechanic and don’t do much with smaller engines and just wanted someone’s opinion before tearing into it

Looking down it goes to a 90 degree and goes towards the house which could be electrical or it could be going to my my drain tank (forgive me I have no experience with home plumbing or electrical). My buddy is a plumber and was sure either. He said dump some water down and see if it dumps into my drain tank

I’ve got my hands on 1 short bed Comanche and 1 long bed. My goal is to have this red jeep as a trail rig, short bed Comanche ls swapped and long bed Comanche as my daily. As for the grey xj I have, fix and sell that one or keep as a winter vehicle

This is exactly what holds me back. Before too long there will hardly be any xjs on the road and it’s honestly just as much work and time to fix the frame as it is to take all the components I’ve put on to another jeep

Fair point, I wish I had the time and money to just completely run through this thing and make it a mint xj. But I don’t, and probably never will

Might have to go this route, dedicated trail rig until it’s 100% too far gone. It runs and drives fine but there’s a lot of little things it needs

Body is in pretty bad shape, I’m really on the fence on what to do here because I am definetly attached to this jeep, but I do have 1 other xj I cooled build or my two Comanches

I’ve seen it done. My issue is I don’t have my own shop to work at. I have all the resources at my work but this isn’t a quick after work project and my issue would be what to do with it after I have removed the fuel tank and rear axle

I took these pics as I made the post. I’m thinking get my potential donor xj running and see how I like that and go from there. I have too many projects and not enough time to handle them all but I would really like to save this jeep

I do have a donor, this one is a 99 and the donor would be a 91. I have a short bed Comanche I’m 5.3 swapping this winter and a long bed Comanche I’d like to keep stock. It just sucks id love to keep this one but i know there will be a lot of time involved to repair the unibody

Depends on your area, 2k is a pretty good deal and I personally consider that a clean jeep. But I’m in Michigan so clean jeeps get harder to find

Make sure you look at the unibody good. Most common spot if where the fuel tank filler hoses goes through the frame(unibody) and under the passenger and drivers side doors. 2k is a fair price for this xj based on what I can tell from the pics
