Really hate to see it go, but I need to sell the MJ in order to pick up a little four-banger as I simply can't afford the fuel costs with my longer commute now (average of $500/month).
I bought this from Troy (YELLAHEEP) back in October 2011 with 159k on the clock and has been an awesome truck. It now has 167,xxx. Here's some info on it...

3x Orange LED lights mounted in grille wired into park light circuit
Rear LED license plate light
Large Automatic trans/universal fluid cooler mounted to A/C condenser (not plumbed in)
Olive green MasterCraft bucket seats mounted on factory MJ sliders
MasterCraft 5-point harnesses bolted down with Grade8 Hardware
4.0 Renix with unknown mileage (likely 200K+)
115-120psi compression on all six cylinders
Straight piped exhaust (no catalyst) with aftermarket muffler and trimmed tail pipe (dumps right over rear axle towards pass. side)

Extras that will come with the truck include:

All you need for an auto swap is a stand-alone shift controller (such as RADesigns)

The bad:
Speedometer reads about 15mph slow with current tires and gearing
Rear main and timing cover leak oil
Interior fuse block should be replaced due to terminal corrosion - still functions normally but may pose a problem in the future.
has door dings, faded and chipped paint in some spots
Horn button in GT wheel is inop and needs new contact kit. Can be had for <$30 new on eBay.
3rd gear grinds unless double-clutched (worn synchro(s).
Coolant surge tank leaks at cap from time-to-time. Could be fixed with new bottle/cap or converting to an open cooling system.

NAXJA price is $2000 firm. Will be posted on CraigsList on Monday morning, 5/21/12 for $2500.

Please PM with questions or to setup a time to view/drive.

Here are a couple pictures from December, 2011 when it still had the tail gate and spare mounted. Will get up-to-date pics tomorrow afternoon after giving it a good cleaning.

I am so glad I'm broke, or I would be broke....
 
Nevermind. No longer for sale.... A co-worker went behind my back and purchased the car I had lined up last night. Sorry if this resulted in anyone here getting jerked around...
