Aventurero de la Selva
So sometimes you just jump on a new toy and other times you take it slow and figure out if its 'for me'. I'm on the fence....
Here is what I am pondering: a '77 Cherokee Chief project. Blue, bad 360 (2bbl) engine, quadtrax, zero rust, great body, overhauled drive line 6 years ago (before spun rod bearing) NIB A/C parts kit, all good glass, needs rubber, needs new seats Asking $1,200
I'm thinking $5K P&L to fix engine and sort (all new belts, fluids, hoses, brakes, shocks, ignition parts) + 1.5K for tires & wheels. Oh, and 200 bux for couple Thrush glass-packs...
Am I nuts, the platform is a major PITA to get everything, or is the platform robust and worthy of some man-love?
I've never owned a Jeep, only Series Land Rovers, Land Cruisers, and K5 Blazers.
Thoughts, warnings, advice, encouragement all welcome
