3 Days Later::D

While not quite as rough as some it's still my first Jeep :D

:D

day I brought it home. It already had the 289 but it was tired. No tranny/tc.

The day I had it towed from the previous owner to the shop that was getting it ready for PA smog inspections.

Oh it is the XJ, rest of them are my roommates.

Unfortunatly I never took a pic of mine. but bevieve me it was a total peice of crap. It only had a front clip and a fire wall. I had street signs as floors, no side panels some kind of wierd dimond plate rear fenders. a non running straight six with a t14 and a dana 20. I got it for 500 bucks from some guy in Mass. I regret never taking a pic I simply tore right into it and a few days later when it was just a frame I said damit I should have taken pics.... oh well that should give u an idea what it looked like.

.

okay I don't have any pics of the day I got it, but here is a couple before pics. Stupid web host won't allow linking, so you will have to copy and paste.

Here is my pic (http://mywebpages.comcast.net/42gpw/tow_home.jpg)

I still have it, it's sitting in my garage waiting for a tranny rebuild. That would pretty much complete the drivetrain overhaul. Here's a pic from the last time it was out. I have decided to keep it pretty much like it is now and use for Michigan wheeling.

Once in a while I talk about selling it, but my wife reminds that I had the truck before she was around, and she feels that if I ever get the nerve to sell the truck then she might be the next one up on the block.. :D

heres a pic of mine in 1999 about a week after I got it only thing different on it from the the time I got it to the pic is the off-road lights on the hood hinges other than that its the same as the day the Jeep go a new home

I hope to GOD they paid YOU to take that pile off of their hands!!! That's not a Jeep, that's just some pile of stuff in a junk yard! ;)

Bought this 90 YJ for $2000 CDN.......

Pulled the body off and sold the rest for $1500 CDN
