Just bought this mj. California owned forever with no rust in corners of cab or bed. It's a 1990 comanche pioneer. 5.5 Rubicon express lift with jks adjustable upper and lower arms. 32x11.50r15. Locked rear. Open front. Stock axles I think. Rebuilt motor and trans. Og transfer case. Dummy gauge:( clean interior well maintained with a book of receipts and 357,xxx miles. With a non working Speedo gauge so who knows actuall mileage...

 

I know it's Colorado red from the I'd code. Should I repaint with original color. I found a source. Or just go desert tan. I'd rather have people with experience opinion. I've owned many xj and a 71 Waggoner. Which I still have but this is my first mj what's your thoughts?!?!??!

I guess that would be the main question. Guessing that it is a off road rig and not pavement princess I'm guessing something that will eventually get @#$%ed up again. So desert tan wouldn't be bad with the bottom 6 inches black or grey with black or grey acc.

To do a color change "properly" requires a lot of work. And a lot of money!  The time to do that is when you are planning a full restoration or rebuild of the truck.  Especially when going from Red to a light color such as Tan.

 

Adam is right, just keep it Colorado Red if you do repaint it.

Indeed to do a paint job correctly is alot of time and money. Thats the way to get anything done properly. Mind you not this rig almost has 400.000 miles on the clock without a working speedo cable. don't thinks its ever going ro be a street queen ever again lol. Just need something better than that missing clear coat rust hazard. There is no rust yet as far as my eye can see.
