Lurch

Hi Bo :waving:

Build date was August 1991

So the guy I bought the MJ from called me up out of the blue and said that he found some parts to the truck when he was cleaning out his garage, just the parts I thought I was going to have a tough time finding. Made my life easier. Back cab panel + jack: Had a the original 10 hole spare tire too, now that I can see what it would look like on the rig I'm sold with keeping the Moabs. Pic of the pass side bedside and door. I'm hoping a good paintless dent repair tech can pull these. Only real body damage on the truck besides a little cracked paint on the tailgate.

So first MJ noob question; what's supposed to go on the back of the cab behind the seats? Mine's just painted metal but it looks like a plastic piece might have clipped in there at one point. Is this where the jack is stored?

Hi Everyone - New to CC and a new MJ owner as of a few days ago. I've owned an XJ for a long time so I'm pretty familiar with the Jeep world. I'm over on NAXJA a lot and I recognize a few of the names over here already. I've been wanting an MJ since, well middle school and actively been looking for one for the last year. This one popped up on CL on Monday, and I met the guy Tuesday morning to take the keys from him before anyone else got to here. Now for what everyone wants, pics: First, my XJ - a '98 Sport: The MJ - a '92 Eliminator, 5 speed, 2wd: It's a very clean truck both inside and out for the amount of miles on the odometer (338,000!), but there's always work to be done. The previous owner only had it for about 6 months and didn't know much of the history, but I think it's lived its whole life in CA. The motor runs really good for having that many miles on it, lots of power and no weird noises making me wonder if it's been rebuilt at some point (stoker later??). I haven't had a chance to pull the carpets and check for rust yet, but will do so after I get done moving to Long Beach at the end of the month. Plans for this are pretty simple. Restore it to as close as OEM as possible. Minor body work, maybe repaint (definitely the flares and grill, PO painted them black), Eliminator and Jeep decals, etc. I would love to get my hands on some of the 10 hole OEM alloy wheels that it originally came with, but I'm digging the Moabs for now. Anyway, this will be a slow build as I'm moving into my first house this summer, need to finish prepping my XJ for a Moab trip in the fall, plus all the other things life throws at me, but I'll try to keep this thread updated as work progresses.
