immortal Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 So I just added this one to the herd. That makes a stock '99 WJ LTD (the wife's), a stock '99 XJ (mine), a '97 XJ (on 35s, 4.56 gears, long armed), the trail truck, and now a 1990 MJ Eliminator. Sometimes I actually believe that I am crazy. I have a wee bit of work ahead of me. Rust patching, painting, and cleaning up a really oily motor. Looks like the oil is coming from around the oil filter/pressure sending unit. Anyways.... 405,862 kms, loads of rust, topper, and an MJ brush bar, 5spd (AX15), np231, D30/35 combination. Put 160 kms on it to get it home. A little shimmy at 130km/hr, but not too terrible. Everything works, except the interior pillar lights, and the cruise. Not sure what my plans are going to be.... the logical choice would be to keep 'er stock.... That's right.... 405,824 kms!!!
MancheKid86 Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 nice score! lookin good for over 400 000 km, can't wait to see more pics, welcome to Comanche Club
MJRemi Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Have fun with your build but on a side note, I think shelbyluv has dibs on that avatar. :dunno:
immortal Posted May 31, 2011 Author Posted May 31, 2011 I think shelbyluv has dibs on that avatar. :dunno: Damnit... I guess that is what I get for being the "new guy". That has been my avatar on calgaryjeep.com for a long while now... force of habit.
knever3 Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Ok call me crazy but the Comanche is awesome but that avatar is the best!! Nice MJ and yes Jeeps do have a voodo affect for some reason.
immortal Posted July 7, 2011 Author Posted July 7, 2011 And now for something completely different.... The MJ has been sold back to the previous owner (a good buddy of mine). It appears that he missed the ol' girl tooooooo much. :doh:
immortal Posted November 13, 2011 Author Posted November 13, 2011 This should be called Project Yo-yo... I have now re-purchased this MJ. :doh: :wall: :nuts:
TylerJY Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 This should be called Project Yo-yo... I have now re-purchased this MJ. :doh: :wall: :nuts: :rotfl2: Welcome back
immortal Posted November 13, 2011 Author Posted November 13, 2011 Thanks.... but I never really left. Been lurking on here since I sold it back to the PO. Lots of cool stuff that you guys are doing here.
immortal Posted November 28, 2011 Author Posted November 28, 2011 Brought it home yesterday.... again. I am insulating the garage, so it has to sit out side for a little bit. The PO did a wee bit of work on it.... POR15'd the underside, exchanged boxes with another MJ that wasn't as rusty. Gutted the other MJ before hauling it to the wreckers.... Parts are still in the box until my garage is organized. Eliminator rims are in the back, along with dash pieces, and MJ seats that will actually tilt forward. Custom rear bumper.
immortal Posted November 30, 2011 Author Posted November 30, 2011 Pulled it into the garage to swap out wheels. Question time.... What was this? Ballast resistor? Lucky this didn't burst on me when I was driving it home.... :eek: And the rockers..... now I am terrified to pull up the carpet. Anyone elses' engine super oily? Or am I the lucky one?
