Unglar

Actually I am looking at this for the '87. I was thinking I could swap out everything under the hood and under the dash. I know it would be a major job. I just found a rolled '04 WJ with 67k at a salvage auction in SLC. :brows:

On my '99 Burban it was as simple as the coil wire being corroded.

That's awesome! :thumbsup:

A friend of mine has a '03 WJ with the 4.0 I6, it looks exactly like the one in my MJ. I understand all the accessories would be a PITA, however is it bolt in? Has anyone tried this?

Awesome! I'll see you all there... maybe I should bring a big tank of water for us....

Welcome to the club! Its nice to see another MJ being rescued.

Welcome to the Club! :thumbsup: Nice leather buckets!

which fitting? I recall needing 2 different size wrenchs when I changed mine. pretty sure they were metric also.

Welcome to the Club! :thumbsup: You need to start a build thread and post ALOT of pics..... Head over to the DIY section and you will find threads for the AX-15 swap and the door hinge fix, as well as lots of other goodies. Also, check your floor pans for rust!

Sweet Deuce! I would love to have one of those. :thumbsup:

I know he is, you want to post your questions? Or you could also PM me with them.

My neighbor is, I can ask him for you?

Where do you get the speedo gear?

Sure, there is a DRMO lot behind my office and I always :drool: when I walk by, there are more than 30 lined up out there. I'll have to get a pic.

I filled my tank and it only went up to Half. But it does go down so not sure whats up with mine. I have read on here that you can buy a new XJ unit and use it to rebuild your MJ unit.

Where you at? I have a 4.0 with a manifold bolt snapped off in the head. It ran fine but I had the exhaust leak and not the tools to fix it.

Just for the record, I was gonna ask if you wanted my SWB drive shaft, it never occurred to me that yours is a LWB. BTW, you still lookin for the harness? I have a harness pulled from the '89 XJ.

hahaha, thats a cool pic!

I had a '65 Mustang Fastback for several years that was very beat up. In '85 I bought a new Mustang LX, big mistake. By the Fall of 1986, I was extremely desperate to get out of the '85 POS. I went to the Jeep dealer and fell in love with the Comanche. I was so far under on the '85 I had to take out a down payment loan. $16,000 for the MJ, $4,500 to get out of the '85. It was Black 4x4 2.8 AT on the tree. I pulled out the Bench and installed leather buckets out of a scrapped camaro. I put Yokohama 30" tires on it for a Mud runnin competition and took 2nd place because I didn't know to put it in 4 low. In 4 low on the 2nd run I destroyed the competition. In early '87 I transferred to Subic Bay, the wife couldn't find work and I had to sell the truck or starve, it was a tough choice. I sold the truck for $11,000 approximately 8 months after I bought it for $16,000. I still wake up at night crying.... But now when I wake up I can go out and sit in my '92 Eliminator and that helps! 8)

Sorry to go off-topic, but do you have a build thread for your Deuce?

I'm with Pete, cut the drivers side off so he can mount it! :thumbsup:

Nice work, I would love to have a shop with a lift! :drool:

:agree: Count me in! :thumbsup:

That is a good point. Who has the equipment to fix it and the space to store it.

Maybe the $500 MJ should go to '$500 MJ' ;)
