Restomodded 89 MJ-WI


89 MJ

Recommended Posts

Yup, I’m  doing it. Yup, I’ll probably regret it. Honestly, I just need something that I don’t need to worry about someone scratching it as much and I need to be able to buy something in can drive in the salt. 

 

Here it is:

 

1989 Jeep Comanche Short bed

4.0 straight six

5 speed manual

161,000 miles

Ford 8.8 rear end out of a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Track with 4.10 gears and a limited slip

Dana 30 front axle with 4.10 gears

Fresh paint last August

New vinyl flooring

Raptor Bedliner in bed

Sliding rear window

Was a southern truck before restoration (not much rust), all of the rust has been repaired the right way.  

Aftermarket front bumper

Bottom of the bed, back and sides of the frame, and front suspension area have been under coated.  

3 inch lift

Longer lower control arms to prevent death wobble

Adjustable track bar  

Comes with a rebuilt AX-15 and 96 XJ parts rig with 125k on it (minus gas tank and brake booster/master cylinder)  Comes with stock front suspension pieces  

 

$11,000  or best offer. I’m also interested in trades. 

 

This truck has not been driven in the salt. I parked it for the winter. The only time it came out in March was after several days of rain and all of the salt was washed off of the road. 

 

The engine has an occasional rod knock, it isn’t bad, I wouldn’t hesitate to road trip it because of the knock.  That is why it comes with the XJ.  If I swap the motor, the price will go up.

Some pics are not current and do not have the rear lifted. I know for sure the rear is lifted in the last two pictures.

"want" and "can afford" are two completely different things :laugh:

They are :laugh:. Believe me, I don’t want to sell it, but then I can’t afford something to drive in the winter. 

I hate needing to be responsible. :dunno:

What? No $500 beater Hondas or Toyotas floating around in WI?

Honestly, not really. And my mother only wants me to have one vehicle because we don’t have room for more.
