Tell Us Your Best MJ Story ● I bought it used from the second or third owner in 1999 and finally got it on the road in 2001. I had been wheeling my original '88 XJ, but that was my daily driver and I didn't want to wreck it. I wheeled the MJ with NAXJA NAC for three or four seasons on the Trailmaster lift, then put the truck back to stock height after we lost most of the places where we could wheel legally. The kid from whom I bought it had butchered a lot, and it has been a slow process of trying to incrementally undo the damage he did. Original cost was $500, I've put about $4000 into it, and it still looks like a $500 truck. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Eagle, thank you so much for being a part of Comanche Club. I disagree with your "$500 truck" comment though and it's not because I'm from the rust belt. I think it has so much character that it's just about dripping from it! It's nice to finally see the truck behind the man. Congratulations, Eagle. Well worth the recognition. -Ben This post has been promoted to an article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Your 88 MJ is fine example Eagle, but you are the real example. You have been a pillar of knowledge in the Jeep community for decades, and the Comanche Club is very fortunate you have settled in here for all of us to learn from. Thanks for all you do.
