87MJTIM

Is this a truck you want to keep? Is there a sentimental value to it? I am an original owner for mine. For several years, it was a "weekend to the hardware store" truck. I only put a 1,000 miles on it for several years. I started looking for a newer truck around 2010. There was nothing that I liked as much as the MJ. I realized that the price of a new truck was less than the cost of fixing the old MJ. That included an engine rebuild and rust repair and painting. It is now (again) my DD. I love it and want it to last another 30+ years. I have learned to perform most of the maintenance on it thanks to everyone one on ComancheClub.com (especially Cruiser and HornBro [RIP]). Does your MJ have sentimental value - original owner or inherited from a relative? Are you mechanically inclined? Do you want to learn? From the pictures you posted, I would QUICKLY pay you $1500 for it. I think that price is low from the pictures. Start higher and negotiate downward. Or, look at it getting repaired - body and paint (~$5000 to $8000) depending on shop and amount of work required. For maintenance issues, if you are willing to do your own work, the cost of parts and your time are all you need (oh, and tools...lots of tools.) There is a personal satisfaction in doing things yourself. There is a wealth of info on CC (and other forums) on fixing Jeeps. Find those documents. The 88 MJ electrical manual is available in the DIY section. The Renix fuel system is downloadable there, also. Download them, save them, print them out and read them (especially the Renix fuel system). Good luck. I hope you are able to keep it. Keep up with CC and ask questions - lots of questions. We're very friendly here and are willing to give you advice.

97 fuel pump??? That must have come from an XJ. Did they tell you the pump/sending units face the opposite direction in an XJ? There is a reason it doesn't fit: because it DOESN'T fit!

Is the reservoir cap bad? If steam is coming out, the cap may be (probably) busted and can't hold the pressure. Without the pressure, the engine will over heat. (Ask me how I know.) Try replacing the cap with a Volvo cap. (See Cruiser54.com for the part number.)

rear bumper mounting bracket?

Jimmy Hoffa’s car?

The OP with need the transmission cross member and mounting bracket for the AX15. Additionally he needs the bell housing and shift fork from the inside bell housing. The two transmissions are the same length. No need to change the driveshafts. Other parts will be needed that a shop will provide. I did the lots of research before I did my swap. It took me a weekend just by myself.

Check local junk yards. I picked up one for about $135. The other parts to convert to external slave may run another $250. For $500 and your time you can do the swap

Don’t know yet. I got them for future use

ZM Jeeps from Toledo OH sells MJ rockers. He doesn’t list them on his site. I picked up R & L at a York PA Jeep show. stores.zmjeeps.com

The seals on the master may be going bad. When you press the pedal, fluid is leaking paste the seal and you lose pressure. Purchase a new MC. Or... Look inside the cab where the MC come through the firewall. Is it damp? If so, feel the top of the fuse block. Is it damp? If so, the MC is leaking inside the cab. Not good new. Or... The slave cyl you purchased is bad. Not unheard of. The would mean changing it out...again. I got tired of changing slave cylinders (internal) so I swapped out trans to an external slave AX15 (94+). You can purchase for a 2wd AX15 for probably not much $$, Jeep owners are willing to part with a 2wd AX15 (94+) when they convert to 4wd.

This was long ago. Out with the old, on with the new. I sold the end caps, tops and the license plate light caps to someone on CC. ( I kept the mounting brackets.)

9/20 - such a good day. It will be Dzimm's anniversary and it is my birthday. Congratulations to you and your bride.

Jeremy I understand you’re busy. I don’t need a reply right away. I picked up these two radios. What could you do with them? aux/usb adaptable

I am guessing the NV3350 has external slave cylinders. You should get a clutch kit to match the trans.

You need #5428 for an automatic

You should get a Renix Engine Monitor from Nickintime. Search YouTube or Facebook. He sells a Renix scanner (REM) that will give you engine information. This can help locate issues problems

You want one from a 89-90 MJ or XJ with auto transmissions. I don’t recall the part number. I’ve pulled a few ECUs from auto XJs that I don’t need. Where do you live?

Where do you live? Going on vacation anytime soon?

There are some good youtube videos on the AX15. A series of videos are on RobinsonAuto channel. Lot of detail and the camera focuses on the work, but he makes it as interesting as paint drying. 1. 2. 3.

My dash is cracked. I have a 93 XJ dash, but it is the lighter tan. I don't know where to find a color match to paint it. (Not a high priority in my life.)

Butterscotch? What year? In 87, there were two different shades of "tan/beige." One slightly darker (more orange-ish) than the other. My Laredo has the darker shade. Is that the butterscotch you are referring to?

I’m going to pass on it. For my driving habits, a 242 will not be a benefit. I don’t 4wheel other than some dirt roads to land in WV. Also, I don’t drive on snowy roads. Too much work to convert the input shaft to 23 splines

I picked up one from auto zone

For anybody interested, here is the link: https://www.lkqpickyourpart.com/locations/LKQ_Pick_Your_Part_-_Mount_Airy-208/recents/

That was also an issue I wasn't sure about. I have an AX15 - 23 spline. I would have to switch back to the BA10. I DON'T THINK SO!
