87MJTIM

Check out "NickintimeFilms" on fakebook. He sells a Renix Engine Monitor (REM) that will help you diagnose sensor problems with the Renix. The REM's work for 2.5 and 4.0 and auto and manuals.

Sorry about that, Chief. I had to get my 17 YO daughter to help me fix it.

If he is not doing computer programming, then he is missing his calling. He could go work for the Gov'ment. There's an agency at Ft. Meade, MD we like to call No Such Agency. They're always looking for people with technology skills.

The issue is fixed. Thanks, Alexia.

It really bugs me to see this. Your grill is upside-down.

Thx for everyone's input. I thought this looked "cool." But, like many things, the novelty would wear off over time. (I would find a setting I liked and leave it there.) The seats, however, are in nice condition. The interior is dark maroon/plaid. (Anyone want rockers?)

I am trying to include a picture in "messaging." The "drag file" is not an option in that section. (I see it below in this screen.)

I'm about 5'10". I have a headliner, also. So, did the swap require much modifying? (I may try it. Find I don't like it. Swap back to MJ.) I don't want to change my current MJ seat then find out I can't go back.

Hi. My name is Tim. (Hi, Tim.) I'm a idiot when it comes to computers. (That's OK.) I cannot figure out how to upload pictures to CC now the PB has begun extorting $ from us. HELP!

A few weeks ago I scored an 87 XJ Laredo; fully loaded. While pulling parts today, I realized the front seats are sliders/rockers. I know I have to switch floor brackets, but can I swap my existing MJ seats on to the rocker and bolt this to the floor brackets. So, from top-to-bottom would be MJ seat/XJ rocker/MJ bracket. I want to keep the MJ tilt forward seat. I have done a search on CC but cannot fine the exact answer.

Get the 88 electric manual for your reference library. HOWEVER, be aware there are subtitle differences from 87 to 88. I have a paper copy of the 87 electric manual. While doing some electric work on my truck, the wiring did not match the diagrams in the 87 manual. I checked the 88 manual and it matched what I have. I found some other difference just in the configuration of part between 87 and 88. My MJ came off the line in May 87. So it was a late model year production. Jeep must have started using components designed for the 88 models. (AMC = any makers components) (Before anyone comments: I am the original owner. There have been no electrical modifications done to the truck.)

I think he works on his Jeep XJ. I started following him on Youtube for repairs and modification to the Jeep before he started the REM videos.

Does it make you want to buy a Renix now to have the monitor?

I plan on going. I love the old Jeeps - CJ8s and CJ10s, old Commandos, FCs, etc. I love to meet other MJ owners as well. My nephew came with in '16. He loved it. He has a '15 (?) JKU. The only dirt is sees is possibly a construction site.

I love a stock Jeep, also. Although, lightly modified Jeeps aren't bad either. Most of the XJ there are heavily modified. Too much for my taste. The All Breeds Jeep Show is located on the in-field of a horse racing track. A lane cuts through the middle. One half of the in-field has all breeds of Jeep - EXCEPT for JKs. Those have the other half of the field. It is getting to be a JK Jeep Show.

Yep! That is my gold MJ in the top picture. It was good to meet other CC members and lots of MJs. I plan on going next year. However, I will not be displaying my truck.

Following this thread. My truck has cruise control and I have trouble with the cable. I was considering eliminating the cruise control. I look at Napa for a cable. The online store showed the cable for cruise. I thought the cruise control cables were NLA. I was wrong! Napa part #615-1604 (can’t attach photo) figured it out

Would it work in a manual trans - AX15? Is it friendly to brass parts? The Lucas data sheet says "it exceeds all GL classifications." Whatever that means.

You need to change the sensors from switches. The switches will not work with gauges.

That's a sway bar link. Not hard to replace. Be sure to buy two. The driver's side is just as old as the passenger's side.

Look on craigslist in your area. You may find someone selling or parting out an MJ. You could piece together your missing/needed parts.

Yes, it is the same length. In fact, I took the speedo out of an older tcase (21 spline) that used to be on the truck.

I did clock it with the gear teeth range at 6. I thought I saw that on youtube. I will double check the orientation.

Nori, thanks. I will try greasing the cable ends. Previously, I did spray on some lithium lube on the speedo cogs. It just gummed up the speedo causing it to read under and make noise. I later sprayed on different lube to loosen up the old junk. This was on the first speedo mentioned, not the second one I installed. The lithium should not have affected the second speedo. I also sprayed lithium into the cable. But all it did was spray back at me. I do not think it got down into the whole cable. Also, when I spin the cable, I cannot feel any resistance or binding. You mentioned the drive gear in the tcase. That is not something I messed with. If I think this through, the gear would have to spin freely on the output shaft - thus not turning the speedo gear. I guess I would have to pull the tail housing to inspect that. Oh, joy.
