Difference between models?? NC

[gr8tires]

:dunno:Hi, I've had a few MJs over the year, but never knew differences between trims: Sport, Eliminator, Base. And what differences will metric ton version over the standard vehicle(yes, I know about carrying capacity). AX15 is good/bad trans?? Different than RENIX?

Slainte :cheers:

AX15 is a great trans.

 

What about Renix?

The chief is the superior model.  The stickers and carpeted door panels make it the most capable for off roading.

That depends on your definition of "superior." As far as trim level, the Eliminator was a higher-level model than the Chief. But in its first year (1989? 1990?) the Eliminator was only available as a 2WD. After that, it was also available in 4WD and was, without question, the top model.

 

Below the Eliminator came the Chief and the Pioneer. Aside from exterior decals, they were pretty much the same. The Chief was just tricked out to look a bit more "off-roady," whicle the Pioneer was trimmed out more like a daily driver.

 

Below those two were the Base and SporTruck -- and I believe in the years when there was a "SporTruck" by model, that actually was the base model.

 

1986 was a completely different series, with X being the base model, XLS being the top of the line, and something else in between. (XL, maybe?)

If you get stuck in a mud hole you can remove the carpeting and place it under your tires.

Custom was the base model in 1986. The X model was the middle trim level and then the XLS was the top of the line.

I didn't think that the Pioneer and Chief overlapped many model years?

Dunno. I currently have an 87 Pioneer, and 88 SporTruck, and an 88 Chief. I had an 86 XLS and another 86 that I don't recall the model of.

What about the Laredo package?

You forgot the Laredo. That was at least on a par with the Elims.

I think the Laredo was top of the line. It could get all the chrome stuff and any other option you could want. The Eliminator just had plain jane or color matched parts.
