87 MJ Chief

And going by the front tag, you've already got a name for it. Raise hell, praise Dale! lol

Congratulations! I'm on the other end of this story, being the dad of the owner. "Garage time" can never be replaced or forgotten.

It was Bring-Your-MJ-To-Work day, today. Well, G's MJ actually. My Altima is currently in surgery at home for a power steering pump replacement, so I had to make a deal with G to have a ride today!

Sell me your roll bar so that it solves your huge, incredibly painful, deal breaker, might-as-well-not-go, storage problem.

In the upper left corner of the picture, it appears to say "Japan". I'm not sure if that narrows it down any or not.

Congratulations!

Glad to hear your "new normal" is going ok. The online job market is growing daily. Do you think you might have an opportunity there for a less physically demanding job? Just remember, people like my son and I can learn from your incredible knowledge. Plus, who doesn't want to read about a military grade 1911 and a sweet CZ on the same post page!

Toot the horn when you cross 93 in Twin Falls, Id. I have family there. Wishing you the best!

Here's 3 Carolina Comanches together! (me, @Classy Comanche@NC Tom). I'm 2 counties east of Tom in Alleghany. I know of two others on the road here and 3 on the road in Ashe, which is between tom and I. I don't think those are on here but they are registered. I'm trying to buy 2 Comanches now. I have to buy both of them to get a couple of parts off of 1 of them. If the "good one" is good enough to put back on the road (fuel problem took it off the road) it will be for sale. Yeah, that's putting the cart before the horse but when I'm going in halves with a 12-year old you have to work 3 steps ahead!

me likey this link!

Wishing you the best. Are you going to be able to take more than one spare tire? I dollied an suv with a flat front tire and it messed with the balance at road speed.

(listening and learning) Will needle nose locking pliers reach and attach to the clip nuts?

Took these two pictures today. Yeah, I'm in talks with him. Did any '87 come with the GM 6cyl?

Had to fold outer lip and concave inners with the wider rear end. Only rubs when- 2 adults, dip in road and over 90mph. Don't ask me how I know!

Getting closer!

'73 Duster with '67 440HP 425+/- hp, 727 w/ B&M slap, B body 3:73 Sure-Grip, police dog dish rally wheels. '51 Willys CJ-2A, trail cruiser that's 90% ready for weekend main street run.

39143 is the number for your plastic trim. I do not currently have a can for the bumpers, but just ask for a slightly "glossier" finish (than 39143) for your bumpers. As ghetdjc320 said, make sure to prep. Wax / grease remover [rattle can + wipe down]; adhesion promoter (rattle can) then apply light coats of paint till you reach required coverage. Cleaner and promoter do not have to be SEM. Less costly options are out there, but running around town at $5gal may offset it.

Do not settle for anything less than SEM. If you don't have an automotive paint supply store close by, order it. I am a fan of rattle cans, but department store brands will not deliver the results your MJ deserves. I'll get the number for the "trim black" tonight and post tomorrow. I think it's the SEM-39143. Trim is usually a satin, bumpers semi.

Has anyone watched the LEGO Top Gun trailer? G showed it to me this morning and I'll have to say- that's perdy cool! It kinda sorta fits with fly-bys, maybe. (if this link doesn't work just search lego top gun trailer on YouTube) <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bEzbim8peGU" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This one is actually sitting somewhere. Jeep / Mopar built it for MOAB in '16.

Oh hail No... https://www.topspeed.com/trucks/truck-reviews/jeep/2016-jeep-comanche-concept-ar172718.html

I went and looked at some MJ parts at a guy's house. Not only was it on the walls, but he had some of it hanging from screw-in j hooks in the ceiling.

G got the bed pressure washed out so that he can do some sanding this week. Thought is was a good time to get a "Shade tree Sunday" picture of Chief.

What's the current "I'd pay it" price for a "Jeep" LWB OTR liner? I've got to put eyes on it, but I think I have found one with the tailgate piece also.
