Tell Us Your Best MJ Story ●I have many stories, especially since I've been riding in this truck since I was five, but the most memorable is probably from this year. Traveling to Los Angeles from Las Vegas, I had faith in the old jeep but I had never driven it that far before. Being an old truck I was pretty nervous, but knowing the truck ran flawlessly it got me to the destination and back home without hesitation. That's where my love for it grew more. It didn't leave me stranded and on top of that it was hanging with the new cars on the freeway without feeling like it was going to fall apart. Also I love getting asked about my truck and getting compliments on it. I love how unique it is. CC is Awesome!... Why Do You Think So? ●All the great people that are willing to help and that are respectful with lots of knowledge. Cruiser's Renix tips so I can keep my heep running. Also hornbrods MJ had inspired me to put chrome on mine with hopes to get my MJ to an immaculate condition like his one day. This truck really sums up the year just great. These little trucks continue to run and keep going with simple care and respect and yours is a prime example of this. Well done! Great truck, great member, and another great year in our own piece of the automotive world. Tip of the cap and cheers all around! -Ben This post has been promoted to an article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grinch Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 This is a great truck, looks like the factory paint. That's the same color mine was before someone rattle canned it :( Beige, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Nice truck, congrats, what wood panel is that on the glove box? Looks like it might be the faux wood trim piece from a ZJ glove box door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Excellent idea on the glove box door trim - looks great. I shamelessly stole your idea and picked up a ZJ door with black trim that I will be using to add a little more élégance to my interior. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 That glovebox trim really does look good :thumbsup: Glad to see another youngin (that really doesn't sound right for me to say) preserving one of these trucks and not beating the piss out of it.

Old man with MJ Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 What is a Mopar cps bypass kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 What is a Mopar cps bypass kit? Only one I know of is the Hesco unit that triggers the ignition from the harmonic balancer. But that's only for HO's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I do enjoy that interior. very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's only for HO's. EDIT: I think he's talking about the C101 bypass kit. There was a TSB out to bypass the C101 connector on the Renix engines. It is Chrysler Service Bulletin 18-51-88, aka J007. 83100066 | Kit-Sensor Cps Crank Position S Here's one on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Jeep-Crank-Position-Sensor-Kit-XJ-Cherokee-MJ-Comanche-83100066-/332060911534?hash=item4d505f67ae:g:wKgAAOSwux5YTvJs&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
