the master thread of MJ trim levels and seat fabrics


Recommended Posts

someone on fb asked about the different grills over the years and that got me thinking that we should have something that at least tries to keep track of that sort of thing.  which years had which trims, or interior colors, or whatever we want.  the info is in our heads, but it'd be nice to have a digi copy.  kinda like a wiki but more useful and more accurate.  :D

 

thoughts?

 

or do we have something like this already and I'm forgetting about it.  'cause that happens a lot more than you might think.  :laugh:

Laredo-Top LWB trim. Maybe 87-89 (Correct me on this). LWB Only1233945968_MJLaredo.jpeg.4934e701c76f0f54f12efa671fd33738.jpeg

 

And then there was the funkiness in 86. 

 

In terms of grilles, there was the boring old 8 slot, the 10 slot, the 21 slot, the SC one, the Wagoneer grille, and the HO 8 slot. I think that covers all of them. I don’t know anything about the years other than the HOs were 91/92 only.

As far as I know, all years had the featureless "celtic grain" vinyl and "premium vinyl" as the basic options for bench and basic bucket seats. They both suck and fall apart fast.

 

Cloth fabrics:

1986: Mesa II (bench, basic bucket), Highland Check (high line bucket)

1987: Mesa II (bench, basic bucket), Hunter's Plaid (high line bucket, Laredo)

1988: Canyon (bench, basic bucket), Hunter's Plaid (high line bucket, Laredo), Luggage (high line bucket, Eliminator)

1989: Canyon (bench, basic bucket), Luggage (high line bucket, Eliminator)

1990: Canyon (bench, basic bucket), Luggage (high line bucket, Eliminator)

1991: Jamaica (bench, basic bucket), Luggage (high line bucket, Eliminator)

1992: Jamaica (bench, basic bucket), Luggage (high line bucket, Eliminator)

 

Luggage - debuted on 1988 Eliminator, shared after 1988 with Laredo and XJ Country. Fairly durable but tends to tear where the cloth meets the vinyl. I've also seen this on a bench seat once, but that might have just been reupholstered. This fabric was also found on the base seats on the 1986 XJ Wagoneer.

Canyon

Jamaica - replacement of Canyon. Looks like a plain color from a distance but it actually has colored threads built in. Really durable, but if you're not careful cleaning the colored threads tear out of it.

Mesa II on the left, Hunter's Plaid on the right. Mesa II is extremely durable and is like a burlap sack in texture. Hunter's Plaid is the opposite.

Highland Check - '86 Comanche XLS, '86 Cherokee Laredo

@89 MJ: Here's a better shot of the High Output (91+) Pioneer Livery.  My truck has Chief striping on the hood and header panel, so that 3/4 view isn't the best example.  From the side it's all 91 Pioneer, though:

That’s is a much better one!
