Pete M Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 welcome to the club! :waving: just be careful, the MJs can be quite addictive :D
doc_chinn Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 welcome to the club! :waving: just be careful, the MJs can be quite addictive :D you should see my xj
jimoshel Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Why in the world would ANYONE want a MJ? What in the world would ANYONE want a MJ for? Not sure which one was the better phrasing so I used them both.
doc_chinn Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 i always thought they were different, and i rarely see them. the whole reason i got into cherokees. now a bunch are showing up for sale near me, and i got my eyes on a 91
HOrnbrod Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Yes, get a 91 or 92 if possible. Easier to work on, easier to find parts, and much more reliable. You will hear some noise from the antiquated Renix aficionados, but don't believe it. None of it is true. But we all get along - as long as it's MJ. :cheers:

doc_chinn Posted July 9, 2013 Author Posted July 9, 2013 Convinced me doc_chin. Welcome aboard shipmate. thanks i appreciate it, I'm actually army though haha
HOrnbrod Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 No matter. I'm enlisted retired Navy, and have one daughter 2ndLT Army, the other one 2ndLT USAF. I call them shipmates too. :cheers:

ComancheKid45 Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 don't let these fellas fool you, theres nothing addicting about MJs.... :peek:
doc_chinn Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 I just like the build process. The Xj will always be my trail jeep. The mj will be more of a dd/ beach/ show truck haha
Biotex Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 Show truck as in "show me your wallet" :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: Welcome aboard. Nice XJ.
doc_chinn Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 So after a year I finally have my mj.
87Warrior Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Congratulations! Now we need pics and details :)
Zebvance Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Welcome! Make sure you get one with NO rust! and Renix motors are not THAT bad...........
doc_chinn Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 It's an 86, 2.8 and ax5. Not ideal but good body and lower miles, just over 100k, bought from the original owner
doc_chinn Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 I'll have to hop on my computer to add pics, sorry about that
mpace6a Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 It's an 86, 2.8 and ax5. Not ideal but good body and lower miles, just over 100k, bought from the original owner Same as mine. Carb sucks, motor sucks. Better carb helps, but only as long as the motor lives. Treat it nice, and the 2.8 should do good. Mines been running a year with no issues until the original carb died.
doc_chinn Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 I'm pretty happy with it. rides and runs well
