Pics of my new project vehicle.
1988 Jeep Chereokee Pioneer. 4.0L 4x4.
207,000 mi
Runs like a champ.
Gave her a rattle can pain job since there wasn't much original paint left on the vehicle. Note the piece of computer case cut to fit and siliconed into the broken rear passernger door sail panel window.
My buddy gave it to me. He had it setting in his driveway for 8 months. Wouldn't run (turns out the battery cables were shot, dead shorting across eachother about 1 foot from the battery). Just wanted to get rid of it. So it cost me nothing. I'm just waiting on a duplicate title right now so I can register it ($55) and insure it ($128 for 6 months).
So far total expenditures:
$75 for oil, oil filter, air filter, battery cables, and wiper blades
$90 for new power steering pump and hoses
$110 for all new vacuum lines and CCV setup
Total = $275
Runs like a champ. Starts on the first turn of the key. No smoke, no rough idle. Its going to be a great winter vehicle and a beater to haul things from the home improvement store.
New tires in 2002
New cat in 98
New muffler in 99
Its going to need some new shocks after this winter though. The ones on there ride fine, but are starting to rust through on the dust cover portion that covers the piston.
What do you think? Perhaps an addition of a vinyl banner across the top of the windshield that says "Urban Assault Vehicle".
