I hate to see it go, but it's time to make room for another project.
Here's a few pics I took of it this week:

You can read all about the various swap projects and see some more photos at www.bc4x4.com/chrisw, but here's a quick summary:
Model: 1989 Jeep YJ Laredo.
Engine: 1990 Ford Mustang 302 (5.0L-HO) with Saginaw PS upgrade and 130A alternator upgrade. 3-row rad. Rated for 225HP. Engine has roughly 150000 kms on it, 50k of that by me after I bought and overhauled it.
On-Board Air: Needs a hose patch, but otherwise completely functional. Runs off the Mustang compressor. Built-in 3-gal tank above the rear end, includes pressure regulator, safety valve, front and rear quick-connects, and hoses for tires & air tools.
Tranny: NP435 4-speed, with 6.69:1 first gear. Hydraulic clutch with external slave cylinder, 11" clutch disc.
Dual transfer cases: NP203 plus a '72 Early Bonco Dana 20 (2.46:1 low) with twin-sticks.
Crawl Ratio: 135:1.
Suspension: Spring-over axle (SOA) on Old Man Emu springs, for a total of roughly 7" of lift. Boomerang shackles all around.
Rear end: Ford 9" from 1986 Ford E150 Van, 4.10:1, Detroit, shortened to match the front end, full-floater with Dana 44 spindles and brakes (same as the front end), 4340 alloy shafts, 30-spline Warn Premium locking hubs.
Front end: Dana 44 from 1973 (Early) Bronco, 4.10:1, LockRight, Warn Premium hubs, and 1976 Chevy Blazer/1978 Ford Bronco disc brake swap, GM knuckle/BR Fabworks high steering conversion.
Frame: replaced with mint 1994 frame, custom motor mounts, coated with Gatorguard.
Front Bumper: ARB YJ bumper with fog lamps and MileMarker 9000lb hydraulic winch. Winch is fully functional with good cable and theft prevention measures.
Rear Bumper: Hand-made swingout tire rack with D44 locking hub and draw latch. 35" spare included.
Body: In good shape with no visible rust. New windshield. 3/16" thick custom rock rails with removeable side steps. Bushwhacker fender flares and enlarged wheel wells. 36" tires would fit no problem. A set of 35" tires with 30-40% tread on painted steel wheels are installed. Hard top (tinted side windows, rear defrost) and soft top (Bestop, black, no leaks, a few patches) are included. Also included are matching hard doors and half doors (no upper windows on the half doors).
Interior: Kenwood CD player, rear 6x9 speakers in custom fendertop boxes, front plate speakers, grey cloth seats (fronts are flip-forward type, rear is fold-n-tumble), custom shifters, factory leather steering wheel.
Some minor work is needed:
Hard top fiberglass repair - some minor damage on driver's side rear. It's never bothered me enough to fix it.
No parking brake. I would recommend a driveline disc brake from High Angle Driveline or similar. This will only ever be important if you need to have the truck inspected in BC.
Front right balljoints are starting to clunk.
Gas guage not working properly, but it does the job.
Rear exhaust hanger needs replacing. Might need a muffer too.
The truck comes with no warranties expressed or implied, and if you break your fool neck in it then don't come crying to me. Included with the truck are a bunch of spare parts (sensors, etc), factory manuals, and limited tech support from me via telephone.
This is a good street and trail rig, and it's got most all the mods that most guys plan for on a YJ. I'm in no big hurry to sell, and can wait for the right deal if necessary. I'm looking for around $10-$12k CDN (around $8k US) for it - serious offers only please! As is where is, located in Vancouver BC Canada. Shipping/export is your problem to solve, but I'll help where I can.
