I need to find one ASAP close to Seattle (or better yet, close to Reiter trails) I think it's the last piece of the puzzle I need to finish my AW4 conversion.

He said the a/c needs a charge... left front fender was replaced... paint has typical Eastern Washington oxidation from all that nasty Sun over there... but since it's still close to the green side it doesn't rust... so in Spokane you'd have no rust, no mold, just sunburned paint. ;) I'm still thinking about it, but am probably going to pass... I figure it's a really good deal, really like the TBI part, automatic, a/c and selectrac... could be a really nice little economical Cherokee... here's pictures: http://wagoneers.com/tmp/86xj/ALL.html Tom, I can move these into a regular XJ rigs directory if you'd like and if anyone on the list(s) doesn't go for it, then you're welcome to point to my server for craigslist... tempting, very tempting... but as a good friend told me this morning: "just because you can, doesn't mean you should". :) I suspect I should fix the Jeep that I have in my carport before looking for more, eh? :) thanx for the opportunity tom... we'll find it a good home. john ----- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://freegift.com ** http://wagoneers.com ** - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 30 Aug 2007, Cohrs, Thomas wrote: # Hi John, # # I've attached some interior pictures above, it is blue. # # It has TBI, and I think my lead footed son was getting about 16 to 18 mpg # around town.
