I have the opportunity to pick up an '87Pioneer with 4.0 ax-15 @ 240xxx.
Rust isn't that bad, rockers are as good as gone, floorboards are intact. Jeep starts and drives, shifts well, interior is cherry save one tear in the front seat. Seller says that the engine stalls when it warms up, i haven't looked into what this could be. The guy wants 650 for it. I'd love to have thing as a project trail beater, but don't think i can justify 650 for it considering the miles. The seller is the original owner and bought it off the showroom floor in October of '86. He has all service records and says he has regularly maintained. To be honest, when turned it on I noticed that it was probably the quietest 4.0 that I had ever heard... Purring like a tiger. Thoughts? Tax return is on the way, and my garage is aching for another XJ.
Thanks,
