Fernando87mj Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 This might sound dumb and Maybe the badge has been replaced , but If you look closley at the tail gate it seems like it has the old "Renix" 4.0 badge , and not the high output badge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beckbury Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 In the vain hope that I can eventually date this MJ I have been under the hood and taken a few pic's. If anyone out there can decipher these tags, it might just throw some more light on it's build date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Those are just parts detail stickers; the valve cover, belt routing, and the ECU respectively. Your 92 (93?) should have a body tag riveted on the left side firewall upper corner like the below. Do you have this tag? The factory VIN is in the bottom row.

Lord Beckbury Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Sadly no, there is number in the top centre which has been stamped in the firewall, Covered in paint, I shall have to get the grit paper at it for clarity, can't make out the letters/numbers, Trued mucking about with the exposure and saturation, but it's not clear and the paint will have to come off.

(the "2" above the "YR") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankicksass Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Pretty sure there's a build date tag on mine under the radiator, but that's not an easy spot to check since the radiator needed to be removed to read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beckbury Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Winston Churchill I have now successfully obtained a first registration documentation from the UK's DVLA. After much pressure upon Chrysler/ Jeep de Venezuela they provided a build certificate in English, on their headed notepaper duly stamped and signed. The DVLA processed the fresh application in 2 days, and I am now in the place where I want be be, driving my MJ on the great British roads. I have been supported throughout this process by many great Members of Comanche Club, among your ranks are some truly talented engineers with great vision and wonderful skills. I am indebted to you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasbulliwagen Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Very good. Now put it back away till spring so you don't get any road salt on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikekaz1 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 rasing the dead! very cool truck! I also am surprised they didn't start with a long bed... I'm equally surprised they didn't use a bench seat in the back, and rather used two buckets. I think that's an awesome truck, and to see how clearly rare it is, is pretty cool! bravo on your dedication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
