89 MJ

Exactly like a cult. But it'll be a good cult where we just drive/work on MJs all of the time and have 0 other responsibilities.

I think I have a better idea. Why don't all of us MJ owners just buy our own island somewhere and we can just have our own little community. Then we won't need to deal with other people in less superior vehicles.

I do like the idea of the Southwest. And I already have a friend (actually the dad of the guy I bought my MJ from) who has another house in Phoenix.

Sounds like you get to take the door panel off and make see if the locking mechanism is all hooked up.

PM has been replied to, he has been making progress.

I have not personally done the swap, but my guess would be that they are the correct mounts because the holes are close ish and how well it fits the "fame" rails. @Limeyjeeper, @70barracuda, and @thecodemonk could probably tell you if the mounts look right.

The LJ has been completed for a while now, and he has since rebuilt the J10 and taken apart the Chief because he wasn't happy with it. He did build a travel trailer to go with it. I'll add pics at some point.

I may need to look into moving out that way.

That may happen too, because I don't hate snow, I just hate how they deal with it around here. LOL

Seat pan, seat, and lights are wired. Now I need to change the oil in both tractors and get them ready for snow. One is getting a plow, the other is getting a snowblower. I know. I'm a nerd.

I do not know. Somewhere down south probably

You need to swap your coolant with water. Coolant keeps your engine too cold in the winter. LOL

It is really stupid. That is part of the reason I cannot wait until I can leave this state for good.

It does suck. They like to use a salt solution liquid that the spray on the road. It is absolutely terrible on vehicles around here. They will also spray the roads well into March and sometimes early April because if they don't use all of the money for the salt, they won't get that much next year, so they go out and waste it on roads where there is no snow or ice.

I have too much time and money in it to drive in the salt and snow. And now the motor gave up (but I have an extra one ready to drop in). I am low key on the hunt for one to use year round though.

Awesome, thank you!

That was kinda my thinking. I think I will watch it for a while and if he drops his price closer to $2,000, I may contact him about it.

I know that the Peugeot and the AX-15 have different numbers of splines on the output shaft where it goes into the transfer case. When did the AW4 switch to the same number of splines as the AX-15? I am trying to figure out if I should save the 96 231 that came behind my AW4 for my 97 AX-15. Thanks

I do not think he's a member. Neohic did post this MJ before though.

Update. The vavles were a little sticky and the valve kissed the piston. So, two pushrods got slightly bent. I'll post a picture later.

https://rmn.craigslist.org/pts/d/spring-valley-87-jeep-comanche-metric/7224926556.html Well, I found this one relatively close to me (about 90 minutes away), but I really can't tell if its a good deal or not. This truck is a Metric Ton, which I want, and it isn't rusty (according to the ad, I'm sure the floors say otherwise). I know I got a good deal on my blue MJ at $1,500, but does anyone know if this seems like a good deal? It does seem like a lot for a running truck, but if it isn't rusty it may be close to being worth it.

AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!! I've gone a week without driving this thing and I miss it already. This is going to be a long winter.

Cutdown a Tacoma Beast mid height bedrack Smittybilt RTT Highlift jack Best MJ story- So far this truck has been in pieces for 80% of the time I’ve owned it. Originally, I was looking for an MJ with intentions of building and driving out to Moab. I’m a year late but learned a lot while building the rig. I’ve taken it to Windrock park, TN and Cape Lookout, NC so far. Everywhere I go, people walk up to me and complement me on it. CC is Awesome! Why? During my build, several people offered advice and I’m thankful. Everyone on CC has been helpful and I’ve never seen anyone flame another for their decisions.

Pretty pictures taken around the property today. The left rear was off of the ground here. The front sway bar was not disconnected.
