the truck I'm looking at is an 89. Do I need to get an 89 XJ Fuel Pump? or is there a range of years fromt he XJs that I can use?

So I got a local selling an MJ for a decent price. he claims the only problem is it needs a fuel pump. I have literally dozens of XJs in the local Pick-a-Part, but no MJs. Would the Fuel Pump from an XJ fit the MJ? Did a quick search here and and others, but didn't find what I was looking for. Thanks

LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW do you have any pics of the jeep with the doors on? Yep, I know every Jeep has the "Just Empty Every Pocket" curse. We've go 4 of them. I got plans for at least 5 more, which includes the MJ, but my plans for the MJ are basically mild compared to my YJ, the J10, and the M715.

yep, i was hoping to see one that somebody had painted that way, not necessarily a military issue one. I haven't got an MJ yet. Currently we're looking for an XJ for the wife. Then I'll be looking for a new DD, and I'm heavily leaning toward an MJ, if I can find one in decent shape. I've been thinking about painting it the OD green with the white star, but wanted to see it first.

So does anybody have an MJ painted like the one in the logo? I searched, plus read through the whole "introduce your self" thread, but haven't seen one. Saw an OD Green MJ, but no Star. I've seen that paint job on M715s, M37s, J-trucks, TJs, YJs, XJs, and CJs. But never an MJ, and it's a shame, cause I think it fits it soo well. Love That the Paint job.

sorry GIRsMJ86 wasn't trying to snap at you, just telling you the year. So far I'm getting more feedback from you guys then the 5.9L guys on the speed freaks forum on jeepsunlimited. I knew the mj would be more like my wrangler or my bros XJ, as in a little nurseing in the beginning, and then a decent dependable rig. and I know the ZJ will probly need some work down the road. I think this ones in pretty good shape for now, should last at least two years before I'd have to worry about the Tranny and AWD Tcase, but those were some of the upgrades I was thinking of. If it was just me, I'd be swinging toward the MJ right know, but my family is all pretty close, so the biggest thing against the MJ to me is the fact it only has two seats and that's probably the biggest plus for the 5.9L. That's a problem I can't change, but I'm still considering the MJ, just because I"ve always wanted one. Course I'm also considering getting both. Course then I can't afford to get my new computer. I don't know, I need to get a good look at this MJ, and a closer look at the 5.9, then I may decided right then, that neither is in good enough shape. Thanks for all the imput. If anybody can think of anything eles not brought up yet, I'd appreciate it.

5.9L only came in the 98. The last year of the ZJ body style.

My truck, which was my daily driver, was just totaled by the insurance company yesterday, so now I'm considering a new vehicle, with the funds that the insurance gave me for the Ram. I own a wrangler that is going through a large upgrade, so it won't be ready for any dependable street driving for about another month or two. And I'm not building it to be my DD anyways, so I need something else. I've always liked the MJ and the 5.9L GC, but I'm considering which would make a better DD for right now. I've located a 5.9L deep slate w/ 101,000miles for 8000 here in Vegas, and an 89 MJ 2wd with 150,000 for 1500, which isn't too far away. After reading this forum for the last 6 months, I know there aren’t a lot of people on this board driving 5.9L GC, but this group knows a lot more about MJs then me, so I'd appreciate the input. Here's what I can think of right now. MJ pro -much less to buy and could pay off my C.C. with the money left over -better gas mileage, not great, but probably better than the 5.9L -pickup, so I won't need a trailer when the occasion arises -4.0L, Between my brother and me, we have three 4.0L, so we have the experience to keep one running -Each upgrade is cheaper on average, and I should be able to do them myself MJ con -may have some problems that will have to be nursed in the beginning. Not as dependable in the beginning as a newer vehicle -only has 2 seats, I don't have kids, but it would be nice to be able to take friends or family with me -less comfortable for long trips to TX, AZ, or CA -most likely has Rust or other body damage that I will have to clean repair or cover -manual, which will make it less comfortable and harder when my mother has to borrow it, to drive through this town - has a lot of miles -Many more upgrade to get it the way I would want it 5.9 pro -Just looks better -more dependable in the beginning -4 seats -automatic, which I'd prefer for this traffic right now, and would be easier when my mother has to borrow it -much more comfortable for trips to TX, AZ, or CA -AWD, for when it rains and all the other cars on the road look like they're on a skating rink -no rust or body damage to clean cover or repair -Fewer upgrades to do to get it where I'd want it 5.9 con -will take all the money that I got for the Ram -worse gas mileage -no pickup, so I'll need to get a small trailer for larger items I can't transport in the wrangler, cause I'm not sticking something greasy in this thing -high miles -5.9L, not a bad motor, but I don't have that much experience with this motor -Each upgrade is more expensive on average, and I may not be able to do them myself So there it is. I know most of you prefer the MJ, but I'm right on the fence, and I'm looking for anything that I might have missed. Thanks

Hey recognise this MJ? Image Not Found It's the MJ from the JP article after they finished the lift in the rear. The really odd part is I didn't get it from the magazine. I got it from an Ebay auction about 4 months before the article was released. The Guy selling it, said that he had only bought it a month prior and didn't know much about MJs, but he also said that he homebuilt the suspension lift himself. So either JP sells the MJ, or this guy stole the pics. Wierd?

It's not exactly a Flatbed, but it is cool. Looks almost like a Hybrid of a Flatbed and a regular bed.

I'm lucky if I see ONE in three months. All the old Classic Jeeps get shipped out of town as soon as they are no longer the current fad. This town is Yupie Central, I saw dozens of KJs, WKs, and H3s here as taxis before most of the rest of the country even saw a normal one.
