jakeWI Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Signed up on here along time ago. Wade (89eliminator) and (Pat) jeepcomj first told me about it. Signed up then never posted because my first MJ never went threw and I cut back on forums. Well now I am back. Trying to sell my second XJ to get into a whole new MJ build. I have a lot of ideas for it, but need to get rid of the XJ first. Anyway, Jake from SE Wisconsin Currently have a 1996 XJ with some stuff.
Automan2164 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Think I have met ya via Pat once. Glad to see you found your way here. Rob

JeepcoMJ Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Hi Jake! now Tim needs to get on here, since he actually owns an mj now :brows:
jakeWI Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 how do i know you? How does anyone not know me... :jump:
jakeWI Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Hi Jake! now Tim needs to get on here, since he actually owns an mj now :brows: good luck. Tim rarely goes on the way it is. I don't even know what it is he does after work.
jakeWI Posted February 26, 2012 Author Posted February 26, 2012 Well hopefully my XJ is sold this week. Have a line on a 1986 Long Bed with a 2.8L (gone right away), split rear window, MJ roll bar, Grizzly Wheels, Mint rear bumper, red interior, bed mat. Plans have been going crazy in my head. I plan on selling the stuff I don't want off of it and continuing the build with my left over XJ money and then some. Tossing around ideas. But I am thinking 4.7 Stroker from ATK, MJ D44, E-Lockers front and rear. Not sure about lift. Got some procomp wheels picked out if I don't use the grizzly's. BFG AT's or KM2's. Warn Winch. Been tossing up the idea of building my own front bumper again which is way more beef then an ARB. But I am also thinking about the ARB if I find one used since I did love mine when I had it. More to come! :banana:
Automan2164 Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Sweet. Hopefully it works out. Most people avoid '86's like the plague. If you are interested, I would trade you all of my grey interior stuff for your red stuff. Most don't like the red... I am forced to because my diesel has a factory red, and I am trying to keep it original. If you decide to ditch the rollbar, keep me in mind. That is, if you get the truck. Rob
89eliminator Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 so are you going to winterfest if you sell the jeep?
jakeWI Posted February 26, 2012 Author Posted February 26, 2012 I am going to winterfest no matter what. Right now the jeep is already loaded on the trailer waiting for winterfest. I am hoping the guy buys it down at winterfest because I can just pick up that other one right away while I am in the area. If I sell the XJ next weekend, I am actually hopefully buying two MJ's right away... P.S the roll bar is already spoken for. I'll have to think about the interior.
jakeWI Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 Well I did not make it to winterfest this weekend. Sucks. Paid and everything and still missed out due to many things. But I did sell my XJ this past weekend. I have been working on acquiring a 1992 LongBed and it has been no luck so far. So this weekend I plan on taking a look and hopefully buying a 1988 shortbed. Hopefull I can pick it up and start the build!
jakeWI Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 shortbed! haha working on it. I am just looking for a MJ with a clean body. Hopefully tonight or tomorrow!
mvusse Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Welcome Jake. I think I may have wheeled with you at Badlands a few years back.
jakeWI Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Welcome Jake. I think I may have wheeled with you at Badlands a few years back. Believe so!
jakeWI Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 O boy. Supposed to go look at the 1988 MJ tomorrow. What I know about it, 1988, 4.0, 5 speed, split rear window, shortbed, silver and looks fairly clean. Plan on buying it as long as the guy didn't lie to bad about the shape of the thing.
jakeWI Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 Anyway, I ended up picking up a 1991 Jeep Comanche Eliminator. Shortbed, 4.O, 118k, 2wd, shortbed roll bar, factory bed mat, original interior and clean:
mvusse Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 It's the Barbie edition! That's even worse than my purple and silver one.
ejndssn Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 :no: i don't think that was the original paint job :hmm: anyway nice find and good luck
