Lol fair enough. But AZ seems to have a really weird Jeep culture. Like yes there was plenty of Jeeps around me growing up. I saw mostly XJs, ZJs and YJs, but none were ever jacked up and lifted from what I recall. Now a days its JKs, JLs and all the other little Jeeps Chrysler has produced and you might be able to find some stock YJs, XJs(97-01) TJ's and the other classics driving around but the drivers of them look to be starting out or its just their 'car' from point A to B. Funny enough, been driving my MJ for 6 years and I have never had a JK owner actually recognize what I was driving until a month ago. It was actually an enjoyable moment. Anywhoo back to the MJ at hand!

Will do! Someone has me covered for most, if not all the parts I need for this swap. But I’ll keep ya in mind if I come to find I’m missing something. Thank ya!

Oh indeed!

Currently in search for 84-86 XJs with the selec-trac 4wheel drive set up. The mode shifter and other things associated with the set up. I need the following: Mode shifter assembly, this shifts the t-case from 2wd-4wd on the fly Below is the part above broken up oh and No.20 for the shifter itself. Annnnnd: No 21 in this pic. I will try my 207 lever when it is out if nothing pops up. Parts can also be found on SJ's as well.

Indeed I can with the front liners.

Honestly? I don't know of any. I know there is the AZ 4x4 club and possibly a group called XJ outlaws but I really don't know since everything has migrated towards the internet. I did how ever join the cactus chapter of the American Motors Owners club recently. If you find a group that isnt full of snarky JK owners, I would be happy to give it a whirl. But most everyone here in AZ are jeeple. Meaning they arent Jeep enthusiasts. Ill wave at the XJs, YJs and anything older but I usually wait for the newer models to recognize what I am driving.

Yup! Thats the next step. But I might clean the rubber floor first just to get some satisfaction out of a good cleaning.

Ya know... there is worse out there...

Welcome to the addiction! She is a clean MJ that’s for sure and I’ll have to make it a goal to see it in person.

Drivers side seat fabric and what not is now swapped over to the "new" frame. Went on a mad panic to find the lever for the seat only to learn I left in the XJ I pulled the seat from. But its broke! Ha, thats why I don't have it. Lol. Anywho I ordered a NOS one from ebay. Should see that in a month.

Could also run a little bit of ATF in the crank case too. But you shouldn’t have any issues. You could set an X amount of miles to run the sea foam and change it and see what it has done.

Neat!

It is a Custom Base, denoted by the 1 after the 65 in the VIN.

Let me go look at my 86 parts book

Sure looks like it. Sounds like a cheap AMC way to do it haha. I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for the production of these.

Hopefully someone with a NOS one will chime in as I have a few caps that need repaired. I am willing to bet they relied on the chrome behind the logo if the logo really is clear.

I’ll run it this evening.
