H3DSHOT Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I've been wheelin and buildin a 98 2door xj for the last 2 years or so. You may have seen me on cherokee forum as Whitepwny ..and since I've owned one I've always wanted a MJ.. And finally I've gotten one!! It's an 88 Comanche Chief 4.0 i6 manual ax-5(I think) D30/d44 Np231 175k miles Needs some body work done, floor pans rusted out due to leaking windshield seals and need a new windshield. 2nd gear grinds :( . Reverse lights don't work, blinkers don't work, ac doesnt work, heater is bypassed, radio doesnt work, has a lame aftermarket sunroof.. Came with some 30x9.5 pro comp MTs :D Sooo.. Gonna get it in the garage and start stripping out the carpet and make sure it's only the diver side floor pan hopefully that's rusted.... Got a guy bringing me a new windshield next week hopefully its not to rusted to put a new one back in or more even body work to do... And see what's up with the wiring in this thing Hopefully ill be able to get this thing cleaned up pretty quick!! I'd like to lift it 4.5"-5.5" with 33s, front and rear bumpers, sliders, fresh paint, bedline the bed and maybe half way from the doors down the whole thing.. I want to stick with the original color and pin stripes, maybe 97+ doors and fender flares... I have some napier 2door XJ/mj flares I might put on it.. We'll see :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKid45 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I believe i see 5 leafs in those packs :brows: Metric Ton! Nice looking truck bud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3DSHOT Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks guys! If all works out ill be putting long arms, blisteins and RE springs on the XJ within the next few months..so my 4.5" RC front springs and shocks on it now will go on the MJ and will be going to SOA...

yellaheep Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I believe i see 5 leafs in those packs :brows: Metric Ton! Nice looking truck bud! LOL........ no, that just means he has an add-a-leaf kit. A metric ton pack will have a double set of overload leafs. Also, you won't find a short bed Metric Ton. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neohic Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Although unfortunate to see a clean (well... SUPER clean by MN standards) MJ with that kind of body damage, I just love the Chief package in blue. Diggin' it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H3DSHOT Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 Got the windshield replaced today! And fortunately it wasn't as rusty as I was afraid it would be. They were able to put a new one in just after sanding it down a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3DSHOT Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 A buddy got me a taillight at pull a part today, going back this weekend to snag the tailgate steering wheel and maybe cut out some sheet metal to fix my body damage!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtnClimber Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I don't see it in the pic, but grab that other tail light if you can!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3DSHOT Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 I don't see it in the pic, but grab that other tail light if you can!! I was going to but it was gone when I got there, and the tailgate was pretty beat up so I didn't take it either... Almost grabbed some zj seats for my Xj but I was lucky to get out of there before they closed just trying to get that door off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3DSHOT Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Life has thrown me a curve ball and I may decide to sell the manche... I'd like to get $1200 out of it.. That's how much I paid for it and I've put a new door and windshield since..If anybody is interested? I live in maryville TN just outside of knoxville Maybe when things calm down I can get back into one :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
