For my project..

Does anyone know of a free or cheap MJ in central New England neighboorhood? I am in North Central Mass and can do a fair amount of travel for the right truck.

Condition/color/engine etc. means almost nothing. I simply need a good rear end (cab back). And that doesn't even need to be perfect.

I know about Ebay and the WantAd etc.. but like I said, I am looking for cheap to free!

Thanks

I just moved from Bedford Mass to Texas. When I was there I went to Hollands Used Auto for all my XJ needs. I remember before I left (September '03) that he had 2 MJ's in good shape out there. His prices were always really good as well. I think he wanted $200 or less for a Bed a year back that we put on a buddies truck. If your interested the place is in Billirica Mass on Treble Cove Rd.
Good Luck.

I THINK I know where that place is.

$200 is a decent price for a bed from a yard.

I ronically I noticed that my neighbor a couple houses down has an MJ that hasn't moved in a looong time. Perhaps my travel will be very easy!

I work up the street from Hollands and I live in Westminster, MA. PM me if you want me to swing over there to see what they have. I've been there a couple of (million) times

Also, go on Car-part and look through the northeast. There are several places in lower NH and South Central Mass that have half decent prices.

CC - I'll give you a shout if/when I go up there. I live right over in Templeton.

The project is being paused right now. I might get a rough (but FREE) flat fender Willys.

But I am still slowly searching. I am first working on cleaning out the garage so I have a place to put this crap first!

Cool PM me when you're ready to start. Nice excuse to get out of the house. *****LOL*****

I'll do so

I tried to buy the MJ this weekend but the dick never called me back.

I am shooting to get some stuff started after New Years.

Hey.. do you have a new style blue/grey Cherokee, some sort of NOT factory axles, and some kind of "Indiglo" dashboard?

I saw one on the way past Fitchburg toward Gardner last Monday. Looked nice!

Later,

Nope not me, Mines red (maroon) whatever the hell they call it. Black raock crawlers with 32's.

It's a lame pic but here it is!!!!

She's still pretty!

I saw an MJ for sale this weekend. Right in my proce range.

I took a good look at it and the "frame" appears identical to the Cherokee MINOR differences. But having seen this I have decided I might well "save" myself some trouble and put an extra cab on an MJ instead. I have made another post to get some measurements.

I suspect the MJ's frame has some super squirrel secrets to allow it to keep/add rigitity with out the full uniboidy. So it may be beneficial to base the project on the MJ instead. Plus, I have to do the research first, but I THINK that the MJ will fall under the "truck" emissions standards which give me more flexibility for future engine upgrades.
