I just bought this old girl for a toy a few months ago. Turns out I don't have the time for a toy, thanks to a 1-year old baby who sucks up all my free time!
I was hoping for a fun fixer-upper project, and I have quite a few of the parts to repair her.
Specs:
133k Miles
3.9L V8 Engine
All-time 4wd with High/Low
Automatic Transmission
ABS
4-Door
Approximately 15MPG
Good:
Runs and drives beautifully as-is
Climbs darn near anything
Very little sheet metal rust due to the aluminum sheet metal
Nice OEM Wheels
Tires hold air, decent tread
No leaks that I've noticed
Brakes work well
Previous owner had rear end rebuilt
Passed emissions (smog test) last year with flying colors
Bad:
(Disclaimer: Some of the previous owners had a tendency to take things apart, rig them to just barely work, then leave everything dangling like a surprise party favor. I've been repairing everything I could as I got the time, but I haven't had much time.)
Interior is pretty dirty.
Headliner was torn up by a pit-bull. Needs replaced.
Wiper motor needs replaced (I will include a replacement part)
Heater blower needs replaced (I will include a replacement part)
Rear door handle needs replaced
Ignition switch is giving intermittent problems (I will include a replacement part)
Power seat switches need cleaned frequently to function
Passenger side window does not lower
Tailgate does not lower (but upper half opens fine). Not sure why.
Rust on body. Frame is rusty but nothing very deep (as far as I can tell)
Some of the plastic steering column housing is broken
Gear shift lock stays locked. Only temporarily repaired to make it drivable.
Speedometer stopped working suddenly two weeks ago
Fuel gauge may or may not work properly
A few of the dash warning lights are on (bad sensors)
