89 MJ Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Eliminator with 3 black flares? Seems odd. I thought all Eliminators had body colored flares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I've always prefered black flares on MJs, that's why I replaced the flares on both my Pioneers (see siganture links). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strokermjcomanche Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 So the first thing I wanted to do was work on the left front damage. So I hung the fender and header panel to see how far the front apron was going to be out. It's not too far off , But I'm going have to take it to the body shop I used to work at and have them make a small pull on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 Next thing I did was give it a tuneup. Not sure exactly how long it's been sitting but it definitely had a miss. Plugs,wires,cap,rotor, fuel filter,fresh oil and filter . I bought 97+ heater hoses and will flush the antifreeze when I replace them . Runs much better now . Rock auto had a closeout on gabriel shocks so I bought all 4 and will be installing them at the same time I do brakes /suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 I asked the seller if it had any rust issues and he said there wasn't any, well I disagree. The passenger side is in good shape , the driver side needs help . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted December 27, 2020 Author Share Posted December 27, 2020 I was fortunate enough to find some clean floors years ago and will be using those for patches. That's basically where I'm at right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 if nothing else, replacement wheels would still have been made for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 just checked my 91 dealership brochure and, for what it's worth, it shows the rivet wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limeyjeeper Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 91 eliminator had riveted wheels. My 91 Eliminator came that way. I think the 92 didn't, Just holes no rivets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Between work and the weather I haven't had much time to work on anything. I did manage to do a couple things though. Got the wheels and tires mounted, while I was up underneath there I cleaned and painted some of the suspension as well. The brakes were good in the rear and I plan on doing pads and rotors in the front. Also four new shocks were installed, the old shocks were original from 91 lol .

Strokermjcomanche Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Started to work on the driver side floor. I was fortunate enough to find a 98 Cherokee with super clean floors and cut some patch panels out. I have new floor pans to install , but the pans wouldn't reach the rusted areas. I only had time to get this one panel installed , plus I ran out of wire . I did start fitting the pan though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
