IT'S GONE.

1 two door XJ titled body.

What it has:
Body, mostly straight some dings, no major damage.
Rust, It has some rust on the floor pans (Minor by non-California standards).
Glass, has all it's glass.
BA/10 transmission with no bellhousing
Crappy carpet
Roller axles (35 rear and spindle style beam front)
Roller 30" tires with roller wheels (three steel, one aluminum)
Clean title

What it doesn't have:
Engine, computer and wiring harness
Transfer case
Seats, unless you want to buy them here. (http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1013177)
Mirrors
Leaf springs
Other odds and ends

What it started out in life as:
1988 Cherokee Chief with a 4.0 and 231.

What it would be prefect for:
Go fast Jeep with V8.

You can pick it up with your trailer or AAA flatbed tow (no wheel lift, that would be very unsafe on Sunday Thanksgiving weekend, if you need to pick it up before then that may be able to be arranged but you'll have to help remove the engine ;)

I'm giving this two weeks here and a week at some Jeepspeed forum. If it's not claimed by thanksgiving it's getting crushed.

It has a completely clean title with no back fees. When the clutch died I registered it as non-opp. All you need to do to get it street legal is pass a smog check and pay the usual yearly registration fee (I cna't find the paperwork but it's not much).

Here it is:

I know someone who knows someone who's selling an '89 that has a strong engine, seats, leaf springs, etc. Whoever picks up Geoff's, can buy this other one (for cheap) and swap the motor, trans, and seats into it.

The Jeep is spoken for already, Grimmjeeper is going to be getting it, he's just figuring out the logistics.

just waiting for you to say its ready Geoff.

If anyone wants anything off this jeep you are welcome to it, all i want to keep is the shell and the doors. it is going to get stripped anyway.

oh and it needs to stay rolling, so the axles need to stay under it.

Be warned folks, there's not a whole hell've a lot left of it otherwise. :D

The axles are crap so that shouldn't be hard. D35 and a spindle beam ;) It might sport some, uh, custom rear springs, haven't decided on that yet.


I'll probably pull the rest of the stuff I gotta pull off of it on Thanksgiving weekend. I'm shooting for it to be ready that Sunday. I'd do it sooner but completing the '96 comes first.

Oh.

I thought you were gonna put a 5HP Briggs and Stratton in it and connect it to the BA/10.

I would actually love to see how much power/ how fast an XJ would go with a 5 HP.
