Some more Jeeps I bought

The first is a 1994 Country 2wd w/ 255K I picked up a week or so ago for $500. As of now, it has some window control(can control all via DS and have power out of ds door and into kick)and power lock issues(no voltage, probably relays--continuity good from PS door to kick):



The next is a 1988 Comanche Eliminator 2wd ba-10 w/ 205K that's been sitting two years at Dulles. Filled the res w/ water, put air in the tires, threw in a good battery, started right up, paid $600(CL ad was for a 1993 for $1800, lol), and drove her 45 miles home. Needs a tuneup, an alignment, and some shocks for sure.

Re: Some more Jeeps I bought

They all make it back in the market in far better condition than when I got em. The eliminator might be a keeper though(Koch bros might have to imitate the Archers). Once I get the 94's electrical issues squared away, it'll be for sale, if anyone's interested.

Re: Some more Jeeps I bought

I love bringing home more jeeps. My mother, on the other hand gets mad if I even mention it. (yeah, I live at home) Thats why I don't tell her I'm getting them and just show up with them. I can't wait till I move out and can bring home as many as I want without getting yelled at... Btw, Nice score on the eliminator.

My mom was having a good Saturday morning till I called her and said I got another Jeep. She hung up on me a few minutes after screaming her head off. I got it down to an art form.

Re: Some more Jeeps I bought

That Eliminator is a keeper for sure. I am supremely jealous, it looks rust free You lucky non rust belt guys... so lucky...

I can bring home jeeps whenever I damn well please, I just have to park all but one on the street the wonders of not living with my parents anymore.

So I found and fixed the 94's windows today. I still need to track down the lock issue:

Re: Some more Jeeps I bought

Yeah, I coulda cut some of those wires more than what was required of most of those ten wires to get to some fresher copper, but if you apply enough heat and solder to melt out the tarnish/oxidation from the big short and you end up dripping some on purpose till it wicks.
