casey Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Hey y'all, I followed a link from IFSJA over here. I currently have an addiction to FSJs, however I love the little brother MJ. Always have. I finally added one of my favorite Jeeps to my list of "must own" Jeeps. A 1986 MJ. This is my first MJ but one of many of the breed I've owned... several XJs and ZJs over the years. I got this rig to carry me from job to job and around town. I need a gas sipper to equalize my stable full of V8s fuel consumption. It has a 2.5 and a barn red latex paint job. Done most likely by Stevie Wonder with a roller and brush...maybe a rag. It needs some work to say the least. My plans are to drive it. Maybe some trail work at URE on work days to haul stuff. Mostly on the jobsite tho'. Glad I found this site. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87manche Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I want a FSJ in the worst way. A j20 with a diesel swap is my ultimate tow rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 i am looking for the Tremors truck. can't seem to find one like it though around here and i am not going clear out west to bring it back. so i am going to have to wait til i move out west. it has to be 63-79, swb stepside, 401, small rear window, auto or manual, and would like a levis edition. but hey, ill take what i can get as long as its a stepside non-80s j-truck.

Bonkers Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I've had several FSJs. My favorite was my 88 Waggy, but soon realized that I needed something with better MPG... like a peterbuilt or catapiller. My 79 Chero Cheif was by fair the quickest ownership of a vehicle I ever had. Bought it on Monday morning from a guy in Maine and sold it to a guy in Georgia Monday afternoon. Did even get to sit in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87manche Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 man, I want a FSJ, there's a FS grand waggy for sale south of town, it's in beautiful shape, like it's been garaged it's whole life. Too bad I'm broke, freaking windows in the house. I could live in a grand waggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 wow i didnt know there were so many southerners on here... we should have a southerndivision MJ trip to tellico or morris mtn. alabama has alot of good places (gray rock, morris mtn, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whowey Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 (gray rock, morris mtn) How are these places to wheel?? I passed on a promotion and transfer this spring that would have had me in B'ham. We were looking at houses literally 10 miles from Gray Rock. But I never even realized that there was good wheeling that close. No it wouldn't have changed my decision, but it certainly would have made it harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
