CRF136N

That one has been for sale for probably a year now, price hasn't changed

Oh I know, back in my 20s I was an auto paint and body tech for many years, this is an ongoing thing, it's nowhere near its final form, unfortunately apartment life doesn't allow me to do it the proper way so it's going to get little bits daily until it's ready for paint

Suppose I should post an update since it's been over a year. So after buying it off Torq the jeep went to a mechanic who did almost everything to it, both drive train and power train. Fixed all the leaks. The thing runs and drives incredible now, aside from a couple small quirks I'm sorting out. Unfortunately the body shop I was going to drop it off with fell through and life got busy so the jeep lived in a storage unit for the past 10 months or so on back burner. I decided to take advantage of these high car values to sell my little car and brought the jeep out of hibernation a couple months ago and started daily driving it, did a little body work to it and just sprayed the whole thing primer flat black so it's at least all 1 color & I'll keep addressing the body little bits at a time until I'm ready for paint. Scored an mj specific shell, which needs a little love too so this will keep me busy for awhile, which is ok because when key parts releases the bed corners I'd rather just replace the crunched up one anyway. Floor needs a little patch. Lot of little things while I drive it. Put in a column shift column, '97+ dash, cause it's in better shape than the other I have, swapped the power door guts from the '97+ doors, still need to sort out gauges and some electrical, but again, it functions as is. Nothing too exciting, but progress is happening. All I need is 3 of those stupid clip nuts and I can put the front bumper on, just haven't gotten around to sourcing them yet. Got a lot of neat plans for the interior, double din android auto unit and a lot of little features and creature comforts often found on todays vehicles because I'm a sort of 3d modeling and printing nerd, dabbling with carbon fiber molding and resin stuff, love tinkering with modern technology and I'm all about anything that makes my life easier as I'm a double amputee, lost both arms mid forearm. I work slow...but I get it done, somehow! Hopefully I'll have more updates in the near future

Good to know about the cover, right now I just want something that'll get the truck back on the road, I can do custom stuff later. I'm trying to get out of Texas in the coming months. Currently living the apartment life, working full time and having very little dexterity a bolt in option would be ideal for now, just seeing if anything is out there. I do have some proper bucket seats for it that'll bolt in which is my plan if I can't find a bench.

As the title says I'm looking for a bench seat. I have really nice '97+ buckets with new floor brackets and a center console I can trade, or I can purchase. Let me know what you got. I'm sure shipping would be ridiculous but I'm willing to drive a bit for it

I'll have one available soon as I'm converting to column shift, with that said it is an automatic so I don't know if it will work cause I think manuals have some sort of key release steering lock thing? If it will work for you where are you located?

I'm in south central Texas looking for a nice fitting shell for my sb mj. Willing to travel a reasonable distance, depending on price and condition. Let me know if you have anything available. Thx

Had an '08 Toyota Tacoma. Was dropping stuff off at storage one afternoon, it wouldn't start, just a single click each try. Clearly a bad starter. Called for a tow truck to take it to the shop I worked at 45 miles away & arranged a ride home. I bought a starter but put it off for a week cause a starter job on those is a real PITA. The day came, got it into the shop, popped the hood. Went to disconnect the battery and that was the moment I realized I had forgot to tighten the negative battery terminal when I replaced the battery a couple weeks prior 🙄 Snugged that up and it fired right up 🤣

Haha, well I guess that works Pete, changing the name of the thread 😝 Anyway I will! I'm no longer physically able to do my own work so there really isn't much to show for progress since I'm dropping it off, having someone else do the work and picking it up when its done so not much to talk about...but I'm really excited to get this one finished & start enjoying it. I was looking at new vehicles when torq and I were chatting one day and he said he was going to sell it. Wasn't much to consider, I knew I wanted it despite the extensive work it needed.

Recovered my account after years of inactivity heh. Anyway, guess I should drop in and say hi. I bought this truck off Torq, this will be the 5th mj I've owned. It's been at the mechanic for a couple weeks now getting a complete refresh. The list is...long. Anyway, I expect to get it back next week (in 100% mechanically sound condition!), hopefully start digging into the interior, and come April its going to the bodyshop to get the cosmetics sorted out. It's going to be my daily driver here in Texas, not lifting it or 4x4 swapping, just making it a nice clean daily driver. That said, not sure its worth starting a new thread on, but I'll post some updated pics when it's all done 😁

Well, congratulations to Eric in Canada as the proud owner of a fine little mj...if your on here, if not I will be sure he knows about the club. Spoke with him earlier today and he seems like a really good guy so I am convinced this truck is going to a good home. Sellers remorse has set in though :cry: I'll be back someday, just no room for a Comanche in my life right now.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone tried contacting a hitch company like reese/drawtite/curt/etc and asked? I know they did make the hitches at one point, but probably no longer do because its not profitable for them to stock them...but my bet would be they still have the build sheet filed away and really no special parts are required aside form a little cutting and bending of metal stock...I don't see why they wouldnt gladly take the business of a special order for a reasonable price if they still have the design specs on file. Just saying its worth try.

Haha, always something...I just can't win :rotf: can't say I don't say in the ebay ad it has scratches and dings! Its 24 year old paint on a truck...unfortuantely the original owner didnt see the truck being in the situation it is today, so a little nik-and-ding here and there unfortunately wasnt at the top his concern :(

Thats my mj on ebay with them installed, yes they expensive and yes they are well worth it. I have run several different setups from halogen to HID, these blow them all away. Primarily because of the concentration of the light output, it is so precise and even with a firm cut off line that doesnt blind oncoming traffic (the DOT approval isnt all bad either). I did a clear bra material over the lense for additional protection, and it is some high impact plastic. I actually originally purchased them for the lifted black xj in my avatar parked behind the mj, for both light output and less draw for running the additional roof lights off-road, but opted to remove them as the xj is a wheeler (ok, project in progress...but I do plan to wheel it once I get the cage in) and my concern was not rock chips on the way to the trail but those random trees that get in yer way on the trail resulting in those all too familiar battle scars...too costly to replace the LED's vs. a PIAA halogen conversion setup with inexpensive HID. I got comparison pics somewhere with these LED headlights vs. HID vs. halogen if anyone really wants me to post them...just going o have to dig a little for them.
