Hey, that doesn't look too bad. It may be a good solution for now until I can justify dumping $100+ on a steering wheel. I also like your light bulb shifter. Mine is an 8 ball. I brought the truck home for the first time today. The license office was surprisingly dead. One minor incident on the way home. My wife and I stopped for lunch, when we were done the 10 year old battery just couldn't turn over in the cold. -10C or 20 American Degrees. After charging it up with my blazer for almost 30 minutes it finally turned over. My first bolt on purchase was a new battery from Crappy Tire. I went with an Eliminator Spiral something or other. 790 Cold Cranking amps and a 10yr warranty. Plus if you get stuck somewhere they will come and boost you for 3 years.

A steering wheel swap is definitely on the wish list. I don't like the feel of this one it's too skinny. I'm thinking mahogany would work nicely.

Good eye ComancheRob. The I'm in Whitby. The truck is in Stoufville until tomorrow.

Mike, those are tweeters. I have no idea if they work. The stereo is older than the truck. mjeff87, black interior is sweet. Jeep was smart putting fabric on the seats. I had an S10 with no AC and vinyl seats.

I posted some pics of the truck in the "bumper stumper" thread. Slim

HEHE, Jeepthing, that's what I said when I saw them. I think it was owned by some colour blind dude. Even the teal greenish blue decal think is but stinking ugly. I bought it cause it's got low clicks, little rust, certified and sniffed. The price was pretty good to for the shape.

Yea, it's pretty clean. A bit of bed rash, and the odd rust spot mainly under the doors and a bit near the front fender flares. I am planning to replace the bumpers and wheels. I decided to keep it pretty stock and clean. I'm going to replace the wheels if I am not happy with whats on there after I clean them up. They are original, just painted blue for some reason. As for paint. I always liked the Red Cherokee Limited's from around 89 I think. So I will probably repaint it whatever colour that is. I am also considering making it into a Comanche limited by adding the gold pin stripe and BBS wheels. For now, I just want to drive it. It's an 87 4 Cyl 5 speed, 2wd.

Will a Cherokee rear bumper fit a Comanche? I'm looking for a cheap solution to replace the home made box steel one currently mounted to my truck. The truck will be coming to it's new home in 2 more days. I can't wait. I've been driving my wife's Mazda Protege for 5 months now. I surrendered my Blazer to her once my Son was born since it's roomier and hopefully safer. Slim

Hey, would these wheels fit? or is the pattern different. The tires are 225's

Thanks Guys. Lots of good info here. I have 30X9.5's on my Chevy Blazer now. There perfect, but I think I'm going to go with 235/75's on the MJ. 235's are a lot easier to find and more affordable. I had to search high and low to find 30x9.5's for my blazer that wouldn't break the bank. We don't have the same selection readily available in Canada. I do like the Mickey Thompson Baja tires though, and may go with them for the next set. I have also found a set of gold BBS type wheels from a Cherokee limited. I guess they would be the same size and spacing as what I have now. The price is right so I may go with them. I have black BBS mesh wheels with a polished lip on my blazer now, so they would match each other sitting in the driveway. The only downside is there a PITA to clean.

Thanks, As for the odometer. I did a basic test while driving it. It's pretty accurate. I drove what I know to be 2km and the odometer matched. Just the speed is off. I'll try lubing it up when I bring it home. The ranger rims are mid 90's I think Slim

Hi guys, I just bought an MJ that I will be picking up some time next week. It's an '87 2WD 5speed 4 pounder with what is believed to be 132,000/82,000 original km's/miles. It a western vehicle in great shape, very clean, minimal runs etc.. Anyway, first thing I need to know is what's the biggest tire I can slap on without lifting it? I can get my hands on a set of Ford ranger 4X4 wheels with 235/75/15 LT tires. Would they fit? Second. The speedo has some issues. It reads too slow. Where should I start with this. It's a cable speedo I believe. I think thats it for now. I'll post some pics after i get it home. Thanks
