Renoenvy08 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I had to go to Lowe's and get some Hardie siding for my mom's house. As I pulled around to the lumber area I happen to see another MJ backed into a parking spot. I parked next to it went in got my siding and as I was strapping my things down the owner came up. We started talking about our trucks, her's a 86, lbw, 4.0 auto. I told her about the site (she never heard of it) but she said she would check it out. She told me about all the work she had done to her MJ then said she was quoted $1000 to replace the front u joints. I told her that was way overpriced.

It came out in the 1987 model year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankTheDog Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Probably an 1987 that was built in 1986. I know several people that refer to the year of the car by the build date, not the model year like the emissions sticker says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although, someone on here claimed their '87 came from the factory with "COMANCHE.") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
