Greetings from Maine, new “old diesel XJ” owner...

Evening fellas, I’m new here and thought I’d introduce myself. My name is Corey and I’ve just aquired an 85 XJ 2.1TD from a buddy of mine who built it 18 years ago for wheeling. I know this is a bit of a rare beast and parts can be scarce which is really why I’m here; both to learn as much about the mill as possible and to contribute where I can. No posting pics yet so; the jeep is a 85, 4 door auto, with a Klune underdrive, narrowed Grand Wagoneer axles, Q78 Super Swampers on Waggy rims with Staun Beadlocks, fromt winch bumper/brush guard/air tank combo, 10k Warn winch, rocker skid air tanks, rear bumper/air tank combo, onboard air, 4.56 gears with chromolly shafts, and detroit lockers F/R.. Every body panel is dented as well as the roof and its nickname is “Sluggo”.... I’ve been poking around on the Ol interweb and have found a few interesting sites, some you probably know of, others maybe not.

Some good info in the discussion here https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1985-jeep-pioneer/
Only a few random non essential parts here. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog...+126cid+l4+diesel+turbocharged,1179693,engine
Many of you know about this. Terry is a wealth of knowlege and has years of notes on what crosses over from the diesel Lesharo to the XJ. http://www.winnebagoparts.com
This is a big one and they will ship. http://www.euro4x4parts.com/jeep_parts/cherokee_1_xj_1984_1996/2_1td_diesel_1985_1990/
I’ve also found good take offs on UK ebay, most sellers will ship. Today I found a good vacuum pump for $50 US which is a deal as you know. Anyway thanks for having me.
