87MJTIM

I've been watching SMA for a few years now. "Remember viewers, if I can do it, you can do it. Thanks for watching."

IRS - Income Reduction System

I have an 87 TB (in addition to the one in my MJ). I would be interested in a bored out TB. I can send mine to you in exchange for one you've completed...or you can bore out mine and send it back. PM me cost and shipping address. Or will you be at the York Jeep show in July?

A DJ5 is for sale in VA. https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/d/strasburg-postal-jeep-dj5/6887750587.html

Find a 4 door XJ. Same glass

👍👍 for Nicks REM

JMO413 is right. You cannot reprogam the ECU. Jeep made internal changes to the ECU that improved HP. Keep in mind, in today's world of smart phones and the internet, our Jeeps are DOS. (showing my age.)

You want to get an ECU from a 89/90 XJ. Jeep reprogrammed the ECU to improve HP.

I've heard others say that you can try to kill a 4.0, but it will fight you. Sounds like yours fought back...and won.

I picked a factory driver's side panel from another CC member, so I don't need that. A few years back I purchased a driver's rocker panel from ZM Jeeps. I was told that it does not match the MJ.

Rocker panels? Cab corners? 😊

Page 85 of the Renix Fuel Injection Manual describes a KAM (Keep Alive Memory) that the ECU store with the key off. However, the LTFT is not mentioned as stored in the KAM. Maybe the combination of sensors stored in KAM default to keep the LTFT settings. Sensors stored: O2, MAP, TPS, MAT, and ECT.

Came from a 90 XJ with a MT

There must be some stored memory in the Renix ECU. when I start my truck, the REM shows the previous LTFT. It doesn’t reset to 128

Didn’t someone on here ask about pictures of the passenger side of the strohes Jeep? well, Pete has his pictures.

The input shaft tip for the AX15 change from 1/2" to 3/4" in 93. This happened when Jeep switched to the external slave cylinders. So, the pilot bearing will depend on the year AX15 you can find. For a clutch kit, get one to match the trans. If you have an internal slave cyl, you can use the same clutch kit as the BA10. With the external slave cyl, get a clutch kit to match that one. (Ask me how I know.) Your flywheel goes with your engine electronics: Renix vs. HO. So, which ever FW you have, keep it. Your existing drive shafts will work. Get the tcase that came with the AX15. The BA10 has a 21 spline out put shaft. The AX15 has a 23 spline shaft. The tcase has to match the trans. Also get: the trans cross member, trans mounting brackets, and the tcase shift linkages. The cross member and mounts are different between the BA and AX.

Can you fit a nut cracker on it?

+3 on the grill. What year is it?

Interesting. Long ago, I had the magnet hide-a-key. Somewhere in the world, someone has that hide-a-key box with a Jeep key, but no Jeep to go with it.

Replaced the ignition cylinder. The "tabs" broke off from the cylinder a few days ago. Also, I could not turn the cylinder to "ACC" position. I pulled an "new" cylinder from an 87 XJ. I took the key buzzer from the XJ and installed it in to the MJ. Now I will be warned if I leave the keys in the ignition. I know some people don't like the buzzer and remove it. However, after locking my keys inside I don't want to go through that again.

The one next to the clutch master is a second plug to the washer bottle. It's a hold over from XJs. It would power a pump to the rear window washer. The single red wire above the blower would power a under hood light, if you have/had one.

Could be an 88. Those mirrors were factory options - called Tow Mirrors. There is an internal brace to support the mirrors from wind while driving. The side Comanche emblem was COMANCHE on the 86 (and early 87s) models.

Except for the hood, the slats on the roof, the missing "vent" on the B pillar, and the gas filler location, it looks something like an MJ

Why? If they had too much money, they could have given some to me.

A Harbor Freight scissor transmission jack. I once rented a trans jack for a weekend from a tool rental company. I kept it for three day at $50 per day. After that experience, I figured I could have purchased the HF jack, used it once, thrown it away when I was done, and I would have been ahead money-wise. Next time I needed a trans jack, I went and bought the HF version. I've used it just a few times since getting it, but I have saved a lot of $$ both in the cost and the driving back and forth to pickup/return to the rental store. Also, I purchased from Craigslist a hoist and engine stand. Both of these got good use when I did my 4.0 swap in my CJ7. The hoist was great at lifting the tub off and on the frame.
