GirsMJ86 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Oh man, I know what you mean! Basically the exact vehicle I want other than it being a manual and SWB, but I'd so live with that to have a '91 or '92 Eliminator again. Wonder what he considers "good on gas", I have a low mileage '97 Taurus that gets about 27 highway... I'll go get it tomorrow if he'd trade for that. lol Is it just me or does that look like a modified factory FSJ brush guard? We need Jim to go check this thing out since it's right down the road from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyinajeep726 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Anybody else notice that it has a winch hidden behind a stock bumper? Friggin' sweet! I'd like to know how it's mounted and if that's stock or and aftermarket mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellaheep Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Yep, looks like a Mopar behind the bumper winch mount, and modified FSJ Honcho brushguard and "sport bar" on the bed. I just blew my funds on dually fenders and expensive shipping, a gun safe and a '95 XJ to fix and flip........ friggin' timing. :fs1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neohic Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 ... modified FSJ Honcho brushguard ... Nope... that's factory XJ/MJ also. If anyone is planning on looking at this, I'd love to have some good pictures showing the bottom of the brushguard and how everything mounts up!

Automan2164 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Looks like a factory HW, but I'll hold the full judgement until I see some more details... Could be the aftermarket HW by Warn... The factory one would have all the trim pieces and blocker plates, and didn't come with a roller fair lead. The brushguard does give it some credit though... Maybe removed from another XJ/MJ as a unit and the trim got tossed. The factory brush guard... :drool: What is neat, is the rollbar, as it looks to be a mini copy of the J-10 bars.

jimoshel Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Fishdmax asked me to go look at it for him. I did. It is one clean truck. Could not find one rust spot or dent on it. Just faded paint. He made the guy an offer and he took it. I made it plain that if he doesn't get it I will. Fella claims the engine stalls. I didn't test drive it but the engine ran, idled good. From the symptoms described and from what I saw it's good possibility a fuel delivery problem. He's going to pick it up Thur and drop by the house so I can take a better look. Roll bar looked like a home made job. But a very good one. Brush guard looked like it's from something else and worked to fit. Again, a good job. Rob. If you have a pic of the J10 roll bar could you drop me a copy? Something to compare. The worst thing I could see wrong was the cowl cover was cracked. Had to hold it down to open the hood.

MJRemi Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 This is a factory hidden winch bumper I saw in Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Rob. Your pic shows a inverted U going from the middle top of the bar to the bed floor. This doesn't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 It does have the plate though where that inverted U bar would attach to. And the brush guard does appear to be a FSJ guard just trimmed down as well then if you said it was "made to fit". Looks exactly like what I had on my '74 J-10. Hopefully going to a good home, would hate to see it molested or anything since it looks so good as is. I'd kill to have that thing since there is absolutely nothing but 100% junk around me for sale.

yellaheep Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 Nice! Found the Eliminator a new home with a CC member. Doesn't get better than that! :thumbsup: And I agree, the brush guard and light bar were modified from FSJ pieces. The winch mounting could be home brew, but what's it take to mount a roller fairlead in place of the hawse fairlead the OEM hidden winch mount kit would have had? Are those rear tow hooks anything unusual and OEM? Was there a rear tow hook bracket offered for the MJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 No such thing as rear tow hook brackets. They are either attached to the bumper, or being the case with the FSJ parts, custom mounts were made for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyinajeep726 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Jim or the new owner: Take some pictures of that hidden winch assembly/mount! I want to clone it for a my XJ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 And I agree, the brush guard and light bar were modified from FSJ pieces. I'll go with it for the roll bar, but that brush guard is XJ/MJ original. I wish I could find one locally. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Ok, maybe the brush guard is factory. Talk about lazy since that is basically 99% the same as the FSJ ones. Didn't think they looked good on the FSJ and they sure don't look any better on an MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I would never deliberately wish any harm on any body, but I've been finding myself thinking about Steve, calling me and informing that due to his wife being pregnant, or that he got thrown off a horse and broke his leg that he is unable to get the Jeep and i can have it. Am I wrong? :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdmax Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Yep, you are wrong, I'll pick it up about 11am tomorrow and be up to see you!!!! I hope you don't have that rifle in your lap when I get there.... Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
