My name is Paul i live in oregon and i run a car audio shop.

I am looking at a mj that was a 2wd and has been converted to a 4wd .

Do any of you have any words of wisdomw for me i am new to mj's but not to jeeps.

I have had more then my share of xj's and yj's.

Is there anything i shold look for any thing i should look for that would make me want to run from this thing.

Its all stock exept for the conversion.

Any help would be great and if this goes threw i will be looking forward to talking to all of you .

If any one needs audio help or wireing ? please pm me

Thank you for any and all help

howdy Paul, if you've been around xj's and yj's then you know what to run from. Not much different than an xj, and actually the same from the doors forward.

I have had some really bad luck.

I am more curious about the conversion is there anything to look for there .

Rust I'm not to worrie about i have a body shop that i can take care of most of that .

Its not lifted anymore he took the lift off becouse the lift he had was used and some parts were missing.

or worn out so he put it back to stock hight .

I know the gas tank is in the bed he said he pulled it to make room for a air tank.

Will a xj lift fit a comanche

Grab a spot on the couch, beer is in the fridge. Welcome to the madness.

 

Things to look out for:

BA 10/5 manual transmission

Rust/rot over the rear wheels

Rust/rot on the cab corners

Rust/rot on the rockers

Floorboards are notorious rusters

 

Pluses to keep an eye out for:

D44 rear

Cargo light

Factory brush guard

Hidden winch

AX15

 

The front lift of an XJ will work the same on an MJ, but the rear is a whole 'nother baby. The MJ is spring under, and the springs are more inboard than that of the XJ. So unlike an XJ, you can spring over the rear of an MJ like a YJ, and net some cheap lift.
