My birthday MJ


Recommended Posts

Last year for my (censored) birthday I splurged on an 87 X model (i6/AW4/231) currently painted white with black duraguard over black interior with vinyl bench seat. It was built up by a girl who loved pink. Pink accents EVERYWHERE!!!! Including the JEEP lettering on the tailgate that I took spraybomb to the moment I got it home. I'm not the type of girl who likes to flex her muscle that way.... I rather prove myself BEFORE you judge my gender. 

 

Anyhow.... I decided the truck needs some love after the truck has been trying to kill me on more than a couple occasions: blowing both u-joints in sync at 120kmph on the QEW/403 (but amazingly only losing the driveshaft AFTER safely making it across 4 lanes of traffic to the shoulder and stopping one length ahead of it); driving away from the rear left wheel at 80kmph on a dark 2-lane highway around midnight when the axle shaft snapped (only to find the wheel less than 50ft from the road parallel to where I was able to stop the truck on the shoulder) which won her an axle swap to a fresh build D44; throwing off the front left tire, where all lugs let loose at once, during in-town rush hour (but the wheel ended up under the rocker holding up the truck until I got out to wave down someone to call a tow).... don't worry this is my normal luck and YES regular maintenance and circle checks are done.

 

I have her booked in for a spa-day April 11th. After the soda treatment, and necessary 'plastic surgery' I will be in a predicament..... the fellow doing the work for me has suggested I consider any other colour than white for obvious reasons (I live in South-West-Ontario.... there is no stopping rust unless I hide her in a dry barn). So what colour do I go? 

 

I know this becomes a personal choice but I want suggestions from other MJ owners, what colours keep cleaner longer? What colours turn heads? What would be unique but tasteful? Does anyone have actual pictures of the renault racing edition trucks?

 

Thanks :)

Pick a color, other than white to paint your truck.

I personally like orange, so more than likely that is what my MJ will be eventually.

I also like desert sand, which is more than likely what my XJ will be.

As far as factory colors, I like the PG8 "Forest green" that my current fenders and header panel are on my XJ.

 

Not a huge fan of white, silver, or red.

A gunmetal, graphite, or darker grey-ish color would look nice.
