"Her" 87' xj pioneer

[xjmudman96]

That's right it's hers! Picked it up off c-list purdy cheap. About $17,500 cheaper than the original window sticker I found in the glove box! There was also numerous receipts where the original owners had it detailed weekly! Unibody is in solid condition, same as interior. The tires and wheels alone are worth more than we paid for the whole jeep. Has 4.0 I6, commandtrac? w/power/comfort switch.Pics to come soon...

uh huh....you have two, next thing you know, you'll have four and so it goes...

you wake up one day and realize you own 10 vehicles...

congrats on the find...love finding dirt cheap vehicles...\

Just a word of advice. Get a bill of sale from the seller if you plan on registering it. Otherwise the DMV will charge you tax on the NADA value, not on the purchase price.

I saw this one sitting in your driveway Friday, looked like you were working on the front axle or brakes. Is this the one you are swapping the knuckles on?

Yeah, but I didn't have to switch the knuckle. Advance offers a complete hub assembly replacement. It bolted right up no prob. I had to put a new rotor and shoes on that side too(pass) where the wheel was rolling at either like a 80 or 100 degree angle depending on which way you were turning I pulled the other wheels and discovered brand new brakes everywhere else. It's hard to tell how long the kid had been driving it like that. Luckily everything else wasn't hurt that bad. The axle-shaft output knuckle received a couple good scores, but no other serious carnage. Will have to get an alignment, no biggie. Sorry no pics up yet, camera died.

IIRC, didn't some 87's have a d44 out back?
