I'll answer any questions, been reliable since I've refreshed many components. I'd love to keep it but I never get out anymore with my time in the service and family stuff. Plus I'll be moving after I retire from the service in a few years.

Anyway, thank you for looking!

V/R,

Steve
 
This was Michael's (2xtreme) old rig right?
 
It hasn't been wheeled much since I bought it. I had to fix a bunch of electrical, leaks, the transfer case was toast, radiator had a leaking epoxy repair... and various other things.

All that stuff is in good shape now and I've used it more often as a transport than for fun (unfortunately).

Shortly after I had lost my commuter in an accident.
 
bump for a steal on a great rig
 
SOLD! Re: 1989 Cherokee.... Modified

Thanks man,

Young guy out of Kent came through yesterday evening for the $2500. Really having to downsize so the space was worth it. Plus I fixed everything major that was wrong with it. Hopefully he sends me some photos as I spent more time fixing that thing than playing in it.

Cheers!
