89 MJ

Thanks! I will definitely see if I can find some yellow shock boots and I’ll look into getting some Daylighters. The wheels on my truck are from the 80s so, for now, I’m going to stick with them. I will probably get raised white letter tires next.

Thanks!

Thanks, I want to go to the JY in the spring and get a chrome front end, at some point (maybe next spring or summer) I want to add 2ish inches of lift, and I am thinking 4 daylighters on the sportbar. I was also thinking that maybe I should get the white and red Skyjacker shocks when I get more lift.

I'm trying to give my MJ a more 80s/90s look as you can see with the stripes, wheels, and soon to be my sportbar. I am thinking of getting 4 lights to go across the sportbar (probably would just be there for looks) and I am wanting 2 on the front bumper (so I can see better at night). Are there any other things that I should look at adding to my truck to give it more of an old school look? I couldn't think of much else, but I didn't live in these eras. From what I am finding, a chrome front end would maybe give it more of an old school look, but again, I'm looking for suggestions and ideas.

I know that I want SMJ #1

Loved it!

Do you know what brand your leafs are? Are you happy with their ride/hauling capacity?

Thanks. I think my issue was that I didn’t have the parking brake set.

Let’s go to the badlands sometime. I’ll even wheel the blue truck if it isn’t too gnarly.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get that NOS gate for?

I installed a different starter solenoid, and it is still not cranking. I will need to do some more digging a different day. I am assuming either this new starter solenoid (different brand before) is also bad, I must have broke a wire when I was hooking stuff back up.

Anything is possible with enough time and money. What purpose is the truck going to serve for you?

A agree with the grey in the XJ. I think that either tan or grey would also be most common in the MJ. Grey seems to be the most common in 90-92 trucks.

I love the color matched grills and headlight bezels that the Eliminators had.

Looks like a good candidate just to make into a driver and use, or restore, or make into an offroad rig, it really looks like a great starting point no matter what you decide to do with it.

I think my 88 has the original motor and has 318,000 on it. I am going to try to get my blue truck to 500,000 someday, or more.

@Jesse J, some inspiration for you

I don’t think I need any parts, I was just seeing if you were going to have a swap spot.

They need to bring simplicity back, which will bring reliability back because there will be fewer things to go wrong.

I must have missed you. Are you going this year?

Meh. I’ll stick with my 4.0 MJ. It could do just about everything the GladiaTURD could do, just a little slower.

@eaglescout526 might be helpful with this.

I'm sure lots of them were scrapped with the Cash for Clunkers program or just plain scrapped and dealerships probably had a hard time selling these, so like some of the MOPAR aero cars (Superbird, Daytona), they were probably converted to the "normal" version and sold that way and the body kits just either went on the shelf or were tossed in the garbage.

I'm sure it was Chinese BS, but it was the only one they had in stock.

My dad has a YJ on 35s with a D30 and 8.8 (similar strength to the MJ D44) and a 5.3 and a 5 speed and 4.10 gears. It gets driven pretty hard, and we are yet to have an issue breaking axle parts. Both axles are bone stock. I get that the WJ is much heavier than the YJ though. I'm not sure what gears she has, but @Alexia has a 6.2 in her LJ and I haven't ready about breaking any parts in her LJ.
