Huntingman2706217 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 picked it up the night before last... my plans are a 97+ XJ grill 4x4 conversions since its got a bad tranny anyways... may as well right? and make it red as can be and drop the purple... lol... i want to DD/mall crawl this one... 33's... bullet hole wheels... full paint and body work... dress it up and of course some kind of sterio... did i mention drop the purple? it originaly was the grey but I'm a big fan of a big red MJ so thats what i want... its got the inline 6... renix of course... its a 89... 5 speed... had the BA-10 but I'm going with a AX-15... ive been eyeballing one from a 91 XJ in the JY for a minute... sucks too cause ive been selling the drivetrain from my 89 XJ which the first to go was the BA-10 and it was fine... could have had my MJ running by the end of the week... oh well... maybe someone will trade me the 96HO motor for a transmission/transfer case... lol... XJ's getting a 6.2 diesel and ford swap... not tomorrow but over the next year... its my offroad toy... anyways i pick this MJ up from a kid who wanted to buy a gokart for HIS kid on Sat... didnt have the money so he stuck this on CL... i saw it... called and he said someones coming tomorrow to get it at 10am (by this time its 10 pm) at 11pm i called him and said I'm on my way... lol... drove 2 hours there and thats when i learned it was purple... not something you think to ask about right? now i will... lol... but the body is so straight... the glass is all good... i just couldnt pass it up anyways as i planned on painting any MJ i got red... anyways i hope yall enjoyed the story... i started a build thread for it over at cherokeeforum.com where I'm a moderator but ill try and keep both up to date as i may be using the classifieds here more then anything... i don't use photobucket or anything as its a crap setup... 4 years from now if someone comes to see this thread the pics won't work... pointless... so here's the link to my build thread... http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f46/projec ... -mj-45549/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rymanrph Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 If you plan on painting it as red as possible. Try Dodge's Torred that's on the new Challenger. It's a very bright color in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBKrazy Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 i'm a big fan of dark red/burgundy, don't think i've ever seen it on an MJ tho, it'd probably look pretty sweet... i used to have a '99 buick, dark toreador red was the name of the paint i believe...
