No problem. They may not charge that much but I have never had to cut any body parts out of them. I usually get some pretty good deals. If they don't want to ship it I could always go and retrieve it and ship it.

I recently scored good on some O scales. I snagged three vintage Lionel tanker cars for $7+shipping and a Lionel club car with a search light on it for about $15. So I think I did pretty good there. I only got those to add to my 96 NYC(goodwill $60) set and my 50's set(less than $30, no track). But otherwise yes there are some very expensive but very detailed O scale and above. HO is more fun anyways. Chocolate rain. Not a 7 Princes fan. Those who know, you know. Ready Player One or Ready Player Two.

But both of them were in the movie silver streak together! Snickers HO or O scale?

If no one chimes in, call up AMC salvage out here and see what they can do. I know they have several clean ZJs. One of them has garnet interior.

Milk Vinyl or cassette?

Keep in mind that if you look at the history of the XJ aside from 97-01, the XJ in the beginning still had high end options and trims all the while being sold alongside the SJ Wagoneer and the SJ Wagoneer was a high end vehicle in its class too. But AMC offered the same luxury to those who wanted an XJ but wanted the luxuries of the SJ.

11mm has been my luck. Just buy a set of flare nut wrenches and you’ll never have to worry about having the right size.

It’s how the dealer gets you to come in and do the work. Make the task look as daunting as possible so the person has no choice but to take it in. When it comes to electronics, forget about trying to do any sleuthing.

That’s pretty cool and fun.

Selec-trac, V6 auto with honey interior, brushed dash bezel, immaculate rear bumper, marchals, cargo lamp, turbines. This thing is nice aside from the 2.8L which everything else makes up for the crap engine.

He sent me a PM last weekend saying he’s been busy and to text him when to meet up. I’ve just been forgetting to do that.

Not entirely weird. The XJ was compact and targeted as the family car and I doubt many were being lifted. The MJ and SJs had running boards and SJs were bigger and taller and the MJ was probably predicted that they would be lifted and the long boards that run to the rear wheel well are perfect for reaching into the bed. Which I have a set of those as well.

Hmmm. Gotta find a set. I didn’t even know any were made to fit the XJ. I don’t even think they were offered as a factory accessory.

I pulled the build sheet for this one a while ago. The build sheet did not have a D44 on it but a 35. I can post the full build sheet later.

Ah. Makes sense. You could always remove the adapter and have it set up like a 2.5L. But I don’t know much about that area of the 4.0.

Are you referring to the early 4.0’s without the adaptor thingy?

I only say this not just out of pure speculation but sometimes there’s the case of a dealer putting on pin striping or custom decals as stated by the tint guy here at the dealer. Like I had the shop whom I still need to get ahold of for the “Comanche” windshield decal ask if there was a Dodge Durango RT decal package and there wasn’t any I ended up telling the guy it was probably a dealer thing which is possible.

There’s lots of unofficial MJ decals that dealers could slap on to help the sales of the MJ back in the day. Course this was during the AMC era mostly and not the Chrysler era.

I think I could say the same exact thing you said and agree wholly. Now when I do go to paint mine, it will become BE(CO Red) with the same color striping around the side windows of the Pioneer graphics.

I am learnin that the shell has its benefits and what not but it became clear to me that I love the look of our MJ's without the toppers.

Lol that’s fair and I understand. The XJ is practically the same way.

I hate this phone sometimes. It guesses what I want to say worse than what my 6 did. It thinks I mean king instead of long despite what I’ve typed.

I feel kinda attacked here lol. I love my long bed. I think everything about it looks right. But the short bed to me looks odd. To each is there own.
