Blue88Comanche Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 :drool: i want it.... all i have is $5 in change.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 For me? Maybe $5K if it is clean and true. I am not a huge fan of the Street MJ but I do respect its history ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neohic Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Weren't the Street Comanches only in '87? It should have a little plaque on the gloxe box lid. Also, not the right rear bumper or grill. Hmm... I don't know about that one... still neat to look at and clean! I'd motorboat that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeep Driver Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 I've had it looked at and it's in good to better than good condition.....very clean and runs well. It is not what he thinks it is.......could it be an Eliminator? or a homebrew Eliminator? Anyway...what might this be worth converted to 4X4? Or is it worth more as is?

btm24 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I would say if it's as clean as you say and has A/C then in the $2,000 range Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Anyway...what might this be worth converted to 4X4? ... convert to 4wd and dump the body kit? Because I could probably find a home for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Anyway...what might this be worth converted to 4X4? It is at this point that I would please ask that you find another truck. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To leave it as is just simply convert to 4x4.........? A truck like that should be vacuum sealed as is. It's a time capsule and a piece of MJ history that should go on unmolested. Even just thinking about converting such a relic to 4x4 suggests that you might not be ready to own something so different. Just my opinion. Different strokes for different folks.

HOrnbrod Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Agree 100%. If you were to convert this jewel to 4WD I'd have to seek you out and take you out. If I'm not able to, I'll ask Rob for assistance. :D Only kidding - not a good idea mate. Where is it? I'll buy it to prevent this sacrilege.

Jeep Driver Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 It's a matter of practicality. Here in the mountains there are places you just can't go without 4x4. Steep gravel driveways and icy/snowy roads. Not every 4X gets all jacked up. 4Xs here sell, 2Xs don't, just that simple.....or at least they sell slow and cheap. Subaru is popular here and the clearance is not that much more than that truck. As for the truck- I had a family member look at it today, it's nice and clean but the ground effects have wear and it has 258K miles......he's nearly begging someone to take it. We may consider an offer but it will cost me to fetch it. Yeah I think I can get 2K for it as is, maybe more. 4X and I'll get $3500 easily.

btm24 Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Here's a nice one also in FL, the guy who owns it is on CC his name is Jay. Supper nice guy, REALLY nice truck.

terrawombat Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 So, you're clearly not from anywhere near Florida and you need a 4x4 vehicle. Why even bother looking at a 2WD MJ with a ground effects kit when there are plenty of 4WD MJ's that can be had with less miles and for a cheaper price?

87Warrior Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Ignoring the historical and emotional aspects of a 4wd street MJ, am I the only one who thinks keeping it at its current ride height and installing a 242 case would be awesome? By doing that, the only permanent scaring the truck would get is a hole cut in the floor for the shifter. All of the original parts (which may be near the end of their lives at 250k miles) could be stored away and reinstalled later. I think a low slung, road gripping MJ would be a total blast to drive on dry/wet/snowy curved mountain roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have never completed the 4wd swap, but I thought you have to drill 4 holes for the linkage plate to bolt to the side of the tunnel? You do, but the way you worded it implied that you would need to actually cut a hole big enough for a shifter, not spend 20 seconds with a drill bit. :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm outside of Knoxville, the truck is in FL where I spent the first 40 years of my life and I have family there. You haven't looked round TN for a truck lately...LOL The hilljacks here tear up everything they own or get their hands on. Don't get me started on the jacket-up wheel well cut no bumper dented fender camo crap either.........LOL.......or no LOL.....errrrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
