Minuit

I always thought that 'smoke' coming out of the rear was the tailpipe spinning. :doh:

For keeping it in the family: Mildly built 360 or 401 if I could make it fit. For sound: Cadillac Northstar made after 04 so it doesn't explode the head gasket every 10 minutes. Those things SCREAM. Most cars that had this were FWD though. For usability: Probably a 5.2. I would keep the 4.0 if reliability was the first concern though. I would like to have tires for longer than a nanosecond so 230 HP is sufficient for an MJ. Lots of available parts due to the wide range of stuff with it. Ford motors are nice too, but I don't know much about them. 350 or other SBC would be less frustrating but it's been done trillions of times.

Yeah, too clean. No doubt I'm proud that one made it to the most prestigious automotive market in the world and sold for that much though. Wonder what I could get for my 'all original' example.

Did the Jeep you got the cluster from have a 6 or a 4 cylinder engine? Just asking, because if it was a 6 cylinder your tach will be way off.

:rotf:

That looks like a real nice way to waste some money. I doubt the owner has to worry much about that though.

Someone hasn't taken their meds.

Congratulations!

Beautiful truck. Welcome and merry Christmas!

:drool: Pretty truck. Always liked the way that color looks with the exterior options.

Wonder if it's ever moved. Bet those axles would snap like a toothpick if he even tried.

:rotf:

:( RIP Zip. Losing an animal is always a terrible experience. Sorry, Jim.

The media has been doing its best for a long time to make people scared of 'black machine guns' and it's working. It's not the gun, it's the nutcase behind it.

Not bad at all especially for $600! Shame the paint looks like it was done in 5 minutes, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it. Your cousin is lucky! :thumbsup:

Now that you've fixed your problem... :needpics:

:drool: I envy your driveway, sir. Fantastic MJ!

My truck is 4.95 years older than yours truly.

Beautiful truck Mike. :thumbsup:

Gonna be a very hard find. Your best bet is someone here, I'd figure most junkyard MJs have already had the sender nabbed. @88whitemanche: He's talking about the fuel pump assembly that goes in the gas tank. The only place to find one is an MJ.

Thanks guys for correcting my dumbness and glad you learned something, OP! :thumbsup:

My understanding, please correct if wrong. This isn't completely correct as a lot of trucks have options that didn't come with a trim package (ex. base model with 4.0) Custom/X/XLS: 1986 only. All longbeds, in order of fanciness. 2.5 or 2.8, both gutless, the 2.8 is bad in every way possible. Base 86-92: Exactly what it says on the tin. No frills, some thrills. Usually 2WD with a stick. 2.5 is standard, 4.0 could be optioned in after 87. SporTruck 87-92: One step up from base. Most had 2.5/stick and 2WD. Some ( :yes:) came with the 4.0. Changed to the squiggly lines in 1991, which is a pretty rare style. 87-90 is probably the second most common MJ model. Eliminator 88-92: The 'street' package with most comfort options. Came with 2WD, 4WD could be optioned. Became the top trim level in 91, when Laredo was dropped. 91-92 Eliminators almost always have 4WD, I think. Pioneer 88-92: Off-road package. Always 4WD if I remember correctly. Chief 87-88: Not terribly sure about this. Pretty rare. Has a 'Comanche Chief' decal on the lower doors. Laredo 87-90: I want to say this was the top trim level while it was available. Sport '92: Introduced by Chrysler in 1992 to curb poor sales. Had a different vinyl, and usually had the 4.0 (I think.) Pretty rare. Metric Ton: Not a trim package, but an option group. Bigger leaf springs and the highly desirable Dana 44 axle. I think only long-beds could get this option. Don't hit me/shoot me/spit on me/kick me in the face if I'm wrong. Just off the top of my head. Hope I helped! :thumbsup:

:drool: No words....

Seems like I see a new one every week or so but usually I don't see the same one often. Saw another one today. Wasn't in my own MJ though :(

Not sure it's a JK that's in our heads though.
