Tell Us Your Best MJ Story ● I swear I have the most boring time in Little Red, so i’ll share some experiences. One time I was driving home on the freeway and the trans exploded from all the poly bushings vibrations. Then another MJ owner saw me pulled over and stopped to chat and told me to hop on here. Still don't know who that member is to this day. One time I was driving home and an XJ owner pulled up and gave me a thumbs up of approval. Another time I was driving home from my grandparents and a guy in a Mercedes rolled down his window and chatted about my truck and his 86 XJ till the light changed. My favorite story though is when Pirate and I finally met up and hung out at AMC salvage. Pulling parts and teaching him how to do some basic things. That was a real fun day we had, talkin Jeeps and hanging out. Me on the left and Pirate on the right with Graham Cracker.(Old picture, duh) We also met up at Jeep Jam and our MJ's stole the show, that was awesome! CC is Awsome!... Tell us why● This club is pretty awesome! Probably unlike any other car club out there. We all have knowledge and trucks to share, jokes and stories to tell by the fire and coveted NOS parts to treasure. If I hadn't known about the clubs existence by using search terms with "Comanche" in them, I would have probably not had Little Red for as long as I have. I appreciate all of you and could very well consider you guys family away from family as this place makes everyone feel welcome, no matter how simple or difficult the question we all may have. That's why CC is awesome! Build Thread here: I would also like to extend a huge thank you to @eaglescout526 for all of the work he has done with the NOS parts that he lists for sale and all of the help he has done with the registry! Have a Happy Holiday and New Year! Edit: WE NOW HAS PICS WITH NEW GRAPHICS!!!! I might need to get some stripes for mine now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Thank you guys. Its been hell of a journey and a learning experience! From sitting in a back yard rotting away and being beat up to how I would have custom ordered her from an AMC dealer. If it wasn't for this club, I don't know where she would be now. Maybe not running. I think Pete said once that you are truly never finished with these trucks and he is right, there are still more things for me to do and add. I enjoy aiding in the knowledge and locating NOS parts for y'all, its pretty exciting and fun hunting down those parts. Have a great holiday season everyone! Stay tuned for the Pioneer decals!

(A good crazy) Lol, sometimes its the bad kind of crazy, guys at work give me crap for being an AMC fan but they do like seeing her everyday in her stock fashion. Couple of techs remember working at AMC dealers which is cool! 13 minutes ago, MJCARENA said: Congratulations. Was nice meeting you the other day. That's a good looking truck, and I love that grill.

There's just something about a fully accessorized MJ that is awesome to me. An aluminium topper would totally complete the look in my mind.

The thought has crossed my mind a few times about a topper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
