Just one more reason to make the wife mad!!!

[COLOFIREMAN]

Well I don't know if I told any of you all but I am a back-up tow truck driver for a company here in Salida. So the other day I get called out for a 45,000 dollar Harley that's broke down on the side of the road. I pull the thing on the truck and head towards his house, about 30-minutes away. Turns out he's a FSJ buff and we start chatting about them. I tell him I've been looking for a W/T Cherokee for some time now but like most FSJ'ers I didn't want to pay all that much for it. He says, "I happen to have one that's very clean but needs an engine. So knowing that he knows what they are worth I ask him what he wants out of it. I about wrecked when he said $600.00 .

So we get to his house I this is what I found......














In looking at it I found it to be a 4-speed B/W, 360 2bbl, D20 t/c, and D44 F&R w/lockouts. The interior is in perfect shape and even has the factory farmer killer style jack still in the case. But the bad thing is it is going to need an engine from he sound it makes when you start it. But that can be changed

So I said, well if your going to ask that much I guess I'll buy it

Wouldn't it be cool if all it needs is a coil or something simple like that? That's way cool dude! Good score!

I hope to God that you bought it

If you don't jump on that I will have SERIOUS questions about your mental stability!

OK, it's not nice to mess with the simple-minded!

You suck! Congrats!

[COLOFIREMAN]

Yes, yes I know I suck but it sure made the wife mad when I pulled $600 bones out of the bank to get it . Well like I always say, it's far easier to ask to be forgiven then for permission.

Sorry, NE715 bought it when she came through last month. But I always seems to come across them from time to time.

I put in a picture of the 73' J4000, just looked so good when I snapped this picture.

It's about time to get it ready for another snow season.

If I had a Chero that looked that nice, it would have to have a 401 and round headlights.
