Replaced starter, alternator, radiator, various gaskets, seals, hoses, belts, brake pads, floor mats, etc... general maintenance.
At 230k, I had a complete tune up. My mechanic commented that he would keep the truck running as long as I wanted to keep it. My reason for maintaining this excellent vehicle, is to allow my dog the opportunity to stick his head out of the slider windows. I always get comments about the classic window vents.
Love your comments about the sliding windows for your dog. I call my 89 Raider my Lab's car. I typically have a black Lab with his head out the right rear window, a Labradoodle with her nose out the left rear and another Black Lab with his head out the passenger window.
Unfortuntely at only 270,000 miles the car is starting to run rough and smoke sometimes so my wife just bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee for me to drive. She and my daughter are embarrassed by the Raider and the Jeep is a Christmas present. I am hoping to find a solution for the Raider engine without spending $4,000 for a rebuilt and having it installed. I still have the Raider insured and licensed so will continue using it until I figure out what to do with the engine. Like most Raider owners, I love that car!
I am on my second raider. the first one I wrecked and to junk it, but the one I have now serves me well, but I am having a problum with the front passenger axle the snap ring is not staying on and it will not release from four wheel drive can anyone help me out here.
