89 MJ

Wow, sounds like this is a pretty cool place.

Glad this place exists!

Sweet Cherokee Chief!

Let’s see if this works.

This one has some language in it, but is funny.

Same for me. I drive about 9 miles to work. Thanks! Ok. Thank you. That’s quite the variety.

Wow! That difference is larger than I thought it would be.

But, no one buys an MJ for mileage lol. Glad I’m not the only one who loves WOT.

Make sure there are no pigs in your engine. I'm joking, just do what Pete said.

They are. My buddy (I posted about the car show at his house a week or so ago) has one.

That is what I got on my first tank, but a lot of time was at WOT.

Ok. That sounds similar to my setup.

That's pretty good. When I have my new engine/trans in, I am hoping for 18 mpg.

Another thread about it from 2018

This has already been posted in the Events section, but I figured it would be good to get more eyes on it. From what I've heard, everyone should go to it. I know I hope to be going! In case you haven't heard of this show before, here is a thread about it. So far we have 10 people trying to get their MJ to the show. Not bad considering that we are still over 6 months away from the event.

I know that nobody buys their MJ for fuel mileage, but I am just curious as to what everyone gets with their MJ. When responding, please include details about your MJ (engine, trans, gears, tires, lifted/lowered/stock) I have an 89 with a 4.0 (that has an occasional misfire) with a Peugeot, 4.10s, 3" lift, and 31s. My best (only calculated twice) was 15.6 MPG. Once I put my new engine/trans in, I will be testing it again.

Update on the newer tractor-I got a NOS fuel tank, carb rebuild kit, new choke/throttle cables, and a new air filter for it. I will hopefully be making it run better soon. We did get it to run off of starting fluid.

Those rigs are kinda cool too.

That is a cool story.

Why do you choose that?

I wouldn't avoid a truck because of the transmission. I've done burnouts and clutchless shifts on 31s with my Peugeot for 4,000 miles and I am yet to have an issue. That said, my AX-15 is going in soon.

I've never driven one, but we had them as plow trucks when I was little. I think they are a great looking truck. Those are cool too.

Thanks

What would be your go to vehicle if the Jeep MJ/XJ platform was never created? My choice would be the 1973-1987(1991) Chevy and GMC squarebody pickups. PS, can you all tell that online school isn't very exciting? I only come on here once I am done with my classwork.

Yes I am. I would assume use the Renix (89) one then?
