Cabz Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Has anyone seen the project MJ in JP magazine? . They picked up a beater MJ about too issues back . In the latest issue they finished the rear lift, It is SAWEET! they had alcan make the rear springs They used 5" lift springs and stayed spring under . I wouldn't say that 5" lift springs will flex as well as lesser arched spring but man the MJ looks sweet. I called alcan for S&gigles they said they will make a lift leaf pack for the MJ from 2" to 6" for $195 per spring and lifts above 6" for $210 per Not to bad of a deal if ya ask me.
whowey Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 Latest issue? Damn I just got the November one, where they do the front. Stinkin' Ricer Boys...... :evil:

Cabz Posted November 12, 2005 Author Posted November 12, 2005 is there a chance to get a copy in here of that report, so i dpon´t get the magazin her in germany I wish I could scan and post a copy , but I have no scanner :( How ever I will see if I can find someone with one , Or maybesomebody here has one they can scan the issue with. There are 3 issues that have the MJ in it septmeber 05 ( original buy "$500.00 Beater") noverber 05 ( $93.82 "Profesional paint job", "yearning for a lift PT 1" ) Decmeber 05 ( "Yearning for a lift PT 2") I think they also have a few more articlas comming out in some later issues, Steering corection , and something else.
87manche Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 I just picked up the issue with the paint artice. Aparently the latest has't hit the parts store rack yet. I will be lookiing.
Cooter Posted November 12, 2005 Posted November 12, 2005 $195 per pack??? Sounds a little salty to me...
Cabz Posted November 13, 2005 Author Posted November 13, 2005 $195 per pack??? Sounds a little salty to me... If you figure most XJ lifts w/ AAL's are about $400+ range and the same kit with complete packs are about $900 + the price aint that bad. I would rather have a new pack than an AAL especialy if the pack you allready have is toast. JC Whitney used to sell MJ packs w/no lift for about $95 per brand new so by the time you add AAL's your about there.
pingpong Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I have a set of 2" lift soa alcans in the rear, and they flex great, and ride even better. Pricey yes, but worth their weight in Gold

I didn't pay $195 for my long aal with shocks for my 2" inch XJ lift. $195 a pack for 2" is pretty damn pricey.
Jason H. Rea Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 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?
Pete M Posted November 25, 2005 Posted November 25, 2005 That IS weird! :shock: Jeep on! --Pete P.S. Do you mean you got the picture, or you got the MJ? :D
88swampedmj Posted November 28, 2005 Posted November 28, 2005 ive got that mag in the bathroom right now haha its awesome.. when i saw the comanche flippin through the pages i freaked...
mr4x4 Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 that paint looks good in the pics but i can see in one of the pics the shine isnt all that good the light doesnt shimmer off the surface to well BUT ITS ABOUT TIME THEY PUT A COMANCHE IN THE MAG
jeepmj_tj Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 unless they soley plan on desert racing that truck, i can't see why they would go to the trouble of having the custom leaf packs made for sprung under. The pictures in the mag. show how much ground clearance they lost. Heck the only thing that hangs down under my rear axle is the .5" of the stock ubolts soa, and i have drug the heck outa the axle over some rocks at tellico. I can't imagine having that huge leaf pack and ubolt plate hanging down under there.
Bounty Hunter Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Hey recognise this MJ? So either JP sells the MJ, or this guy stole the pics. Wierd? Or it's another one of thousands of ebay/internet scams out there.
