Any pics? I looked at a few of your posts and couldn't find a pic of your rig.

Sorry I don't have any pictures right now. I could try to get some if you're still interested.
No body damage except a couple scratches, and a superficial dent on one of the barn doors. It's starting to show a little rust around the edges but I don't
think it goes very deep yet. Paint on the roof got thin and I spot sprayed it with rattle cans.
The interior is pretty good except the floor is dirty and the mice have been in there. I'm planning to vacuum it out today but there's a cold wind. Some of the 3rd seat seatbelts are chewed. The AC no longer blows cold and the power windows and locks are acting up.
It definitely needs a new power steering box as it wanders pretty bad. Left rear leaf spring is saggy so it should just have new rear springs. Of course the tilt wheel needs taken apart and those three screws tightened. We keep the oil changed but it's probably overdue on transmission service and repack front wheel bearings.
I just drove it yesterday to charge the battery. It's a 350 TBI with 700r4/4L60. About 228K miles and we did have one head gasket replaced a few years ago as it blew out (exhaust) between #3 and #5. Seems to be okay since then. A long time ago I replaced the "automatic" hubs with Warn manual hubs. I replaced the aluminum wheels with steel rally wheels because one of the original ones cracked. Tires have good tread but are probably past their expiration date.
This was our main vehicle from 2001 until 2008 when we got the little car. Since then a winter time vehicle until we got the Jeep in 2015 when it became a backup 4wd and occasional loaner. If I can get it cleaned up in the next couple days, we're planning to take it to town and see if we can trade it for the 2016 pickup that we are looking at. I had great plans to fix it up but we don't need five running vehicles.
