billyboyxoxox Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 This is my MJ that I've owned for 18 years. It was used regularly for the first 4 1/2 years and driven from Chicagoland to Vigo county Indiana many times until the drivers side rear axle bearing gave out on the Tri-state tollway. It was used, unplated, as a yard truck for the next 13 years until about eight months ago when it was restored to regular use in Indiana. The BA10/5 transmission with 131,000 miles on it has held up because it has been babied for the most part except for the occasional short climb or log drag. It needs a lot of body work which has never been done. I wish I had given it a few more baths to get the Chicago road salt off of it but I hope to do some body/floorboard work on it before much longer. It might look sad but I promise with the extra rear leaf spring it's a worker. As far as I can tell, the only option it has is the sliding rear window. Someday, I would like to find a Cherokee or MJ a few years newer being sold for junk with the better transmission and maybe a few gauges and body parts and beef it up. For now it is being used as my primary transportation. I recently replaced exhaust pipes and tires but that is all I can afford right now. The rear bumper is a Ford F-150 (year unknown) with four inches taken off. It is well loved. I'm sorry, I don't know how to get my picture on here yet.
