500 MJ

Looks great Pat, nice job!

Honda Passport. Stay away. My my wife bought one many years ago without talking to me about it first (college years, we were still only dating). I had had to fix it, often. And I don’t ever recall an “aha! I’m glad they put that there so that I could work on this car easily” moment. Under powered and GM parts on and Isuzu platform with Honda badging. Never again. Since we’ve disposed of the Passport, we have happily owned and sold a ‘98 Civic EX, and currently own an ‘04 Accord EX and a ‘17 CR-V EX-L. All of the actual Honda’s have treated us very well!

Where in WI are you located?

The rear window “gasket” you are looking for isn’t a gasket at all. The picture shows a solid piece of glass (#3) or a 3 pane sliding window (#4). All rear windows are glued in and there is a rubber piece on the exterior (which appears to be a gasket, but really it’s only function is as a trim piece to fill the gap).

PBR coolant overflow bottle... yeah, says a lot.

We have to keep this rig affiliated with the CC, at least the current owner is proving the link right in the ad!

I can understand the odd thought of making it a limo, but I cannot reason why a bed was fashioned onto it. Why not just end with the standard XJ hatch and call it good? The bed is totally useless and I feel all the extra work to make it happen was wasted time. There isn’t even a working tailgate! Why is the hood never fully closed? Also, beadlocks. HA!

It has a cargo light!

My line of work, I have to answer every call because it could be something important that I need to tend to. So, once I find out it’s a scammer call, I either hang up if I don’t have the time or make the best of it (usually when I’m driving long distances and have the time to kill). I go through their process and tell them mostly what they want to hear. String them out and keep holding that carrot out far enough to keep them on the line and not hang up. I know it’s sick, but what they are attempting to do is very sick minded as well. Sometimes it is VERY entertaining/absurd to listen to what they have to say and what they want to sell you. Put on the acting hat and play a role of a made up character with a different name than my own. It’s really fun to start new conversations of a totally different nature when they transfer you around to talk to the “specialist” on their end of the line. Give them a totally new name and a completely different story. Confuses them to no end! Don’t give out any actual personal information and make the drive go that much quicker. I feel I’m not hurting a thing when doing this, just taking away their time that they could be calling someone else and bothering them. :)

Is that a factory rollbar?

There are enough of us here, I doubt you’ll have an issue finding that piece of the moulding if we all keep an eye out for it. I’ll for sure watch for it when I visit yards. As you know, guys up north would love to have one this clean to start with. It’ll be a fun thread to watch! Oh, and you’ll really enjoy putting the next 24K miles on (you know, going to MJ related gatherings across the country and the occasional home improvement store run).

You’ve got a very nice truck there, enjoy it! Welcome to the club!

So, I’ve got a nice little stash of renix 4.0 TBs. Say I want 2 of the bored out ones (one for each truck) and I send you 4 TBs prior to needing my 2 back. How does the pricing on that work out? Would you want the 4 if I only bought 2?

Don’t know if I have ever seen an MJ with a roll pan, and I’m really interested in seeing how you did the work on the tailgate. Looks very nice!

Hey Guys, I've crawled around the southern half of the state of WI and I'm pretty sure I know of every MJ still in the yards around here. :) There are some that have sliding rear windows and I can work on getting one if my travels allow for it in the next month or so. So that I don't over-pay, what price are you willing to pay for one? I have quite a few tailgates, let me dig through them this weekend and I'll send 89 MJ a PM regarding them.

Very nice truck, I agree with what others have said regarding the price. Evidence of the truck being maintained is sure there, it’s easy to see looking at the items that have been replaced under the hood. Lots of folks will surely be after this one when you choose to list it, it is clean and untouched. People know the price point on these and it seems that more of the better “survivors” in similar condition as yours are getting listed by folks who inherited them, I feel they are popping up often these days. Only sell to a cash buyer, when it comes to something this old and sought after there is no reason to mess around with folks wanting to deal in another method. Good luck with a clean sale, be sure to tell the buyer about Comanche Club!

Wow, whatever in California could have made that thing so crunchy?!? Still worth the $75!!!!

If you can get your hands on a solid one with some minor flaws, the shops that you can send them to for re-plating can work magic on straightening them out before they re-chrome them. I’ve seen it done on some Willy’s Pickup bumpers...

Ad does not say, auto or manual trans? Also, do you know what rear end it has?

PM sent.

Too far of a drive for me, hope someone here can get them and put them to good use! https://rockford.craigslist.org/pts/6837529191.html

Still looking to find out if these are galvanized or bare steel? Thanks!

Nope, not the B Pillar lights inside the cab of the truck. This is what the factory cargo light looks like on the back of the cab, also the switch panel is left of the steering column.

Take some pics and post them here. That will help us see what parts to nab. Check for cargo lights and the switch panels. The light is on the back of the cab above the rear window. The switch is to the left of the steering column. These lights were a factory option and boy are they handy to have!
