pingpong Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I know of one or two tugs used as trail rigs, with the diesels. They are just bad a$$. Just swap in some rock jock axles, and add a cage and a custom tube bed, Sell the weights on it for clean scrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 It must be built on an MJ chassis -- the grille has ten slots, not seven. [slight dig at DaimlerChrysler's idiocy over the 7-slot grille being a "trademark" of Jeep] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Eagle, surely you jest!!!! :D :D :D Scott Well, yes ... sort of. And also no. Aren't you aware that after Chrysler (later to become DaimlerChrysler) bought Jeep from AMC but did NOT buy Hummer and AM General, AM General (and Hummer) was acquired by Generous Motors. Whereupon DaimlerChrysler tried to claim (in a lawsuit, IIRC) that Hummer could not produce vehicles with seven vertical slots in the grille because that was a "trademark" of Jeep. Which totally ignored the reality that over the years Jeep produced innumerable vehicles with grilles having other than seven vertical slots. The XJ and MJ are only one (?) example. The XJ/MJ grille was ten slots from 1984 through 1987. In 1988 it went to eight slots, and it didn't revert to seven until the 1997 facelift. How about the grille on that Honcho that's in another thread right now? Or the horizontal grille in the early XJ Wagoneers? So, to reiterate ... yes I was kidding except that I wasn't.Sort of. In a manner of speaking. Somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfreeman616 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Yes I do :D (Play tug-o-war with that truck) Here's a couple build ups on the CJ10A's, both by a guy I know.

kro10000 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I believe 84-86 had an 11 bar grille :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I believe 84-86 had an 11 bar grille :cheers: Pretty sure it was ten. Who has a picture of an 84-86 XJ or MJ grille? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfpdm Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Ten slots it is. This was off an 86 MJ Some of the early XJ's had the, what I call the Black Jack grill, 21 slots. Then of course you have the waggy grill which doesn't have any vertical slots. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Some of the early XJ's had the, what I call the Black Jack grill, 21 slots. That was the early XJ Wagoners, the ones with the same 6x9 headlights as the XJ Cherokees. The later ones with the quad headlights had the horizontal grille. I liked the early one better.

mfpdm Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Yea, I wasn't 100% positive that it was just the wagoneers. Good to know though. :thumbsup: :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
