Tom's JeepNoir
I signed paperwork this evening and received the key to my "Jeep Noir". It's has a black exterior with a small red sport stripe. The interior is the same gray as the Geek Jeep!
The "Jeep Noir" passed pre-purchase inspections this afternoon in good shape. [Much better then the Geek Jeep did in 1999.] The only serious hits were:
There are a number of cosmetic / comfort items that I will transfer from the Geek Jeep, including:
The "Jeep Noir" passed pre-purchase inspections this afternoon in good shape. [Much better then the Geek Jeep did in 1999.] The only serious hits were:
- Needs a tune-up
(routine maintenance item) - Breaks will need to be done later this year
(routine maintenance item) - The windshield is cracked
($244, including mobile instillation service while I'm at work, just had this done on the Geek Jeep about a month ago.) - The passenger side rear door window is broken out
(this can easily be replaced with the one from the Geek Jeep) - And when the cooling system was pressure tested the heater valve exploded!
(A common failure point on early '90 jeeps. I've gone through about six of them, and have a spare on hand most of the time.)
There are a number of cosmetic / comfort items that I will transfer from the Geek Jeep, including:
- Radio w/ custom cut cluster bezel
- Gray floor mats (new from Costco only a few weeks ago)
- Driver's seat, and possibly front passenger seat if they don't match,
(Twenty / forty minute job. The Driver's seat in the Geek Jeep is in better shape.) - Driver and front passenger door panels, including stock stereo speakers,
(Jeep Noir has after-market speakers that don't really fit.) - Passenger side sun visor
(JeepNoir's is broken.) - Driver and front passenger window handles
(Jeep Noir has back and I think the gray looks better.)
