1987MJfreak! Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Today I finally got to take my MJ off road. I could not believe the pulling power of the front end. it felt like it was trying to pull my truck in half! All I can say is WOW! I just bought my MJ from a friend for $1,000. it has 172,000 miles on it and the only things I have done to it is remove the tailgate and install a tail gate net and installed brand new 23575R15 wild cat mud tires. It has the 4.0 L inline 6 cylinder. NP 207 transfer case and the DANA 35C rear end. I have never owned a jeep before but I am now officially a comanche freak! I love this truck. i just can't believe how well a 19 year old truck with the stock motor and almost no modifications has stood the test of time. the jeep comanche was truely designed to last no doubt about it!.

Either way i could not be more please with my MJ. It 'should' be a 231. The 207 was in the YJ that year, but not the MJ. You can crawl under there and look at the tag on it. Its a circular metal tag and its right in the middle of the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Yeah, it'll be a NP231. Oh, and you have a D35 axle actually, not a D35C. That's a good thing (not a great thing, or anything, but a D35 is better than a D35C) Unless you have a metric ton, in which case you got a D44...

Dana calls any axle they ship unfinished 'Custom'. So all that means is that Jeep finished the assembly on the axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though C did not stand for c-clip. At least, that's how I understood it. I don't really care as I don't do anything with D35s. Although, I might take the one out of my XJ and make it into some weird art work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87manche Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Mine's tagged with a c on the housing. It came from a 90 and it's non-c clip. I guess it depends on what they had laying around the Toledo plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
