89 MJ

Is your Jeep already 4x4?

I got a North Mountain one for an 89 Ford Ranger for $150 off of Amazon.

Prod harder. I like these SCs

LOL!!! I meant people not like me

Is it though? The original was designed for road trippers and fancy people, as is the new one.

This is what I’d use.

One with a Ranger bed: One with (I think) a LUV bed, it might be a Dakota bed:

Maybe look at a Chevy LUV bed. That might be close too.

The cab floor, back wall and roof were lined with a reflective radiant heat barrier insulation before interior was re-assembled. Brakes- Standard front disc brakes and rear drums with functioning factory e-brake Lighting- Sylvania H6054 ST Silverstar Sealed Beam Headlights, Amber park/turn signal lamp set and Bosch Pilot Halogen Fog Lamps with Amber lenses. All other lighting is factory. Exterior- Black paint with gold pinstripe graphics kit, full archer brothers ground effects, rear 1 piece window glass with louvres, custom tinted lexan headlight covers, newer style windshield and rubber gasket trim, passenger/driver window visors and a 21 slot grille insert. Wheel & Tires- 2 piece Aluminum Centerline 15” wheels fitted with jeep center caps and wrapped with 235/60/R15 Cooper Cobra Radial GT tires. Misc- One of the previous owners had installed an aftermarket muffler, there are no visible brands but it the truck has a much deeper tone over factory. Also the the only thing missing on this truck was the horizontal street Comanche grille insert so I decided to go with something equally as unique with the 21 slot. I think I prefer the aggressive look it gives the truck. Future upgrades/updates will be a tonneau cover, window tint and upgrade the brakes. Best MJ story- I had found an ad on Craigslist for a Wagoneer grille insert and headlight bezels, I called and it was still available and scheduled a time in the evening the following day to pick up. When I arrived the gentleman was out front doing yard work as he was expecting me. After greetings he said “hang on I’ll open the garage so you can get the parts” so he runs inside and then the garage starts raising up, and I’m watching it slowly go up and unveil a set of turbines so my brain is like “oh ok cool”, the door keeps going and reveals the lower trim graphics of a chief! So now I’m even more excited, and then the door gets all the way up and it’s an almost immaculate white Comanche Chief. I about fell over not expecting that, I do not see any Comanches on the road by me so it was quite a surprise. After a long session of drooling and talking about Comanches he asked if I had seen a Comanche coin, I had no idea what exactly he was talking about, so he said hang on I’ll show you. He came out with a few of these Comanche coins that were given out to employees back when the vehicle launched and said here you can have one. I was floored by that, I was fortunate enough to later return the favor by mailing him one of the Comanche Rock Auto magnets which he surprisingly did not have. CC is Awesome! Why? I have found this community to be so hands on, and DIY that nearly anything you can think of that you would want to repair or customize to your truck you can find on here. It’s been done and documented for you to reference. I have worked on many other vehicles and I have not found a following like this. The knowledge and information on here to reference along with user feedback makes working on these trucks really fun and easy. Congrats @CactusComanche!!! As always, if you want your MJ featured as MJOTM, send me a PM.

Never heard of one.

I got an idea for a future mod!

Here’s @Pete M‘s next mod to the KJ- making it a KMJ! LOL! It’s even got Renegade flares, grille, hood and is his color.

I was thinking the same.

Wow! I’m cheap too

Our house... in middle of the street

@Swampy listed a set.

I’m not sure. I’ll ask me bro tomorrow to see if he remembers.

That’s how we’ve been using it lately. I want him to jump it to see if we can break the frame.

I assume you don’t want to see my most recent Rock Auto bill then (over $300 just for my MJ)

XJ enginehas been pressure washed and removed, now I am waiting for parts, then it will get andblasted and painted Chevy Victory Red.

Oh, he pressure washed the engine the other day. We we also took it for a spin, he drove.

Does your horn itself work? Mine has failed before.

My family and I were coming home on the freeway in our YJ. We start heading a repeated thud. We pull off on our exit and examine the rig. It all looks fine. We drive it another 3 miles. The thud is getting worse. We back in to my grandparents driveway, get out and the tire is barely on-all if the lugnuts were missing.

I love them all.

That truck has a hidden winch!!!
