mudhunter Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 What are the differences in these? I can't seem to find anything on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Mostly it's just a matter of what was standard equipment inside and the decals on the outside. :thumbsup: But it's not quite so cut and dry since you could easily special order pretty much whatever you wanted. my base model 86 came with the bigger engine, AC, and the metric ton package.

Geonovast Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 It's essentially the same differences between Laredo, Chief, Pioneer, Sport, etc on the XJs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Here my old site: www.comanchemj.1hwy.com It has info on all the packages, and I put up pictures of what they look like. Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalpha Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Thanks for that. I always assumed the 'Pioneer' package was under the SporTruck. I see now that I am one step below an Elminator. That explains my AC, PS, and bucket seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 However, not all Pioneers came with bucket seats or AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalpha Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 However, not all Pioneers came with bucket seats or AC. So both of these were an option and not standard on the Pioneer trim level? Too bad that someone liked the truck enough to get these two things, then it fell into disrepair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cklanish88mj Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 i have a pioneer and its bench no ac 4.0 4wd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glundblad Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Chief tends to have a much greater "coolness" factor than the other models. :rotf: Other than that, they are mostly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 My pioneer has PS and bucket seats, but no AC. It does have the 3 piece slider, and BLACK interior with the long hockey stick door handles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalpha Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Mine has a 3 piece slider - does your have a handle on the sliding glass? What's the 'long hockey style' doorhandles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 There is a mark on the glass where the handle used to be, but it's missing. The hockey stick style door handles, the handle itself that you close the door by is at a 45 degree angle. Off the bottom of it comes an arm rest that continues to the back edge of the door.

I thought that hockey style deal was standard for Jeeps. Is it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Nope. there was a smaller armrest on the base trucks hockey stick style: non hockey stick style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I also believe the doors with the smaller arm rest with handle built in did not have a storage compartment. At least my 94 XJ does not. The title says SE, but the decals on the fenders say Pioneer, just like my MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalpha Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Wow, learn something new everyday. Both my Jeeps have hockey stick style. What storage compartment are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Like a map holder in the bottom of the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalpha Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hmm, neither of mine have that feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 My Pioneer had AC, bench, idiot lights, no cruise, no tilt, rear slider, hockey sticks, and 2wd. I put buckets, full cluster, and cruise(HO plug and play install was niiiiice) in, and am still working on the 4wd swap. My Sportruck had NOTHING. The only option it had was an aftermarket moonroof.

mvusse Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I have no cruise or tilt either, but did have full gauges, minus tach. I now have full gauges plus tach. I will try to remember to take a picture of the door storage tomorrow in daylight. No promises, though, as I got a bunch of personal $#!& on my mind right now.

I'm pretty sure my XJ has them, I can grab a pic tomorrow if nobody beats me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigalpha Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 It's pretty amazing how many factory options there are. I feel much better now that I know mine is kind of "upgraded". The one thing I wish mine had was the Metric Package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than finding an MJ with them, you gotta buy them. How can you tell metric springs from regular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
