Temporary price drop because I have no transportation or money and have to move.

The old ad is probably still up. Searching Brown Betty will probably pull the build on it. I'm too sick to fix much stuff anymore and I'm moving so it has to go.

This week only! I'm in the process of moving and have no money or time to fix my Comanche or finish my Eagle plus I have to tow my motorhome to my new place in a couple weeks.

I bought it about 4 years ago and replaced the transmission and tcase (with non-lockup 727/NP229 from a Grand Wagoneer, it needs the speedocable mod yet) and I replaced the Model 15 rear diff with an XJ 8.25" that has 3.08 gears and extra rear leaf to lift it. Just needs lower shock mounts welded to the axle and Ebrake cables installed to finish it.
It still has the 2.72 ratio vacuum front axle but I have a 3.07 non-vacuum axle to go in. Still needs front half shafts and some more tinkering to finish but it is drivable.
4.2L with PS/PB and York AC. Running 235/75R/15 tires on '98 Wrangler wheels.
Front brakes have less than 2,000 miles on them (rotors, calipers and hoses) I have new upper control arm pivot bushings and swaybar end links to be installed. Replacement steering box from a Grand Cherokee with new Eagle pitman arm. New front coil springs already installed.
Has new Napa shocks to install all around. Has original non-computerized Carter BBD. I have an exhaust manifold without the AIR pipes (no pump) and it currently has no Cat.
It has a new heater core (installed while my shoulder was broken) The rad is now from my 77 AMX with 304 (upper rad hose needs replacing as it's very close to the fan)

AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!
