CS-17 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 My newly acquired "toy". Specs: '88, 4.0L, 5-speed, short-bed, 3:55 gearing, D35 rear axle with Detroit True Track locker :hmm: . Originally an AW-4 tranny, then changed to a Puke Goat, now has an AX-15. Two 9,000 pound wenches: a Mile Marker and an X9: one attached to the front bumper, which is designed for it, the other attached directly to the frame in the bed. 267K miles on it. Has a three inch lift in the front, none in the back :nuts:. It has four (plus a spare) Goodyear MT/R 31's with...wait for it....Kevlar sidewalls. :D One plus of buying from an owner who works at Goodyear. :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CS-17 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 What are those seats out of? If I remember right, the guy I bought it from took them out of a '95 XJ. When my dad first saw a picture of the interior he couldn't get over wondering how the guy had hooked up the E-brake. :shake: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over rev Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 HI, New guy here checking in from central Mn. I picked up my truck because the price was right, not real sure if i was going to keep it. After looking it over, It's a very neet truck. It has lot's of problems but also has lot's of potential! It has pretty bad frame rot on the passenger side, leaking rear main and the tilt pins are shot in the steering colum.... ( and a laundry list of other small issues ). I believe it's an '89. It's a 2X4 with the 4.0-5spd. Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjtrailrider Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 This is my first MJ build but I'm no stranger to XJ's. I've been around them since 84' My son recently totaled our beloved "Big Red", a 1996 red XJ "Country" edition. He has always wanted a MJ so I got a great deal on this one from FitchVa. Fitch had big plans for this Jeep but not much time with his new job so he passed it on to us. It was in good hands but our plans are different from Fitch's. Its a 89, 4.0, AW4, NP231, short bed, 162k Our plans are a resto-mod, which include; First off, pull the 4.0 and clean it and freshen up the gaskets, it leaks from every possible source! New interior(I need a headliner board?) most of it will come from the XJ Fresh fluids Open cooling system from our wrecked XJ Clean up the RENIX vacuum mess! 96 dual diaphragm booster from the wrecked XJ 3" OME/RE front lift from the wrecked XJ 3" HellCreek rear packs Chryco 29 spline 8.25 (SUA flipped perches), freshen up the CAD D-30 with new seals and u-joints 31's from the wrecked XJ Skid plates from the XJ Spray in bedliner Shiny new black/silver paint, XJ "Country" theme Here it is!

Rymanrph Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I think that's the first MJ I've seen with the newer XJ bumper on it, but the older fenders and header panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjtrailrider Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I think that's the first MJ I've seen with the newer XJ bumper on it, but the older fenders and header panel. We stuck that on there to drive it home. The bumper was on our 96 XJ that is now a parts jeep. I have a set of 97+ flares that we will run on the front to match the bumper RIP Big Red She was totaled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJCrusader Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Here's mine. 1989 Pioneer, 2wd, straight six, and already the new love of my life. Can't wait to get a 4x4 swap going. It will be a long way off but I still look forward to it. Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Hi everyone. My son and I had been looking for a small 4x4 to replace his 2000 Ranger 2WD. We had looked at Comanches on the web a few months ago but had not found anything. Last Thursday I got home early from work and saw a newspaper dealership ad for a " 91 Jeep Comache $988" (mispelled). I called and talked to the salesman and he said it had just been traded in, 4x4 with a 5 speed manual, needs 2 tires but drives well. So I drove 75 miles to check it out. It was a decent looking white short bed 4x4, 4.0 six, 5 speed with non-working AC, 2 small rust holes in each floorboard, a few spots of surface rust and a nice short square tube rear bumper. The body was pretty straight with faded original paint. The clutch seemed to go way down with a short engagement but it did run OK. Had been lifted about 3". So I offered $700 and they accepted. Whole thing was $941 with tax, title and license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
