Peanut_butter_mj Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I was wondering what paints or livery that weren’t common on these old pickups. I was wondering because mine I don’t see very many I’ve only seen one like it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRat1991 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I doubt anybody has actual production figures on livery packages, or a reliable estimate on survivorship. OEM livery packages changed by model and production year, then the oddball dealer promo vehicle might have something completely custom. Let's see whatcha got.

Billabob Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Sadly mine has been repainted, and somewhat poorly at that, but it used to be a dark metallic grey which I almost never see on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 paint code is on the little metal plate in the engine bay up in the corner by the driver. and no, we've not yet found any official breakdowns of paints or trim packages or literally anything. even the annual total build numbers don't fully make sense.

Classy Comanche Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I know they did a "Olympics of 1988" edition. Let's see what you got. The only Comanches I've seen in my town are red with tan and white livery (mine) a white with red accent, dark red with black and sliver livery and a silver with a red a black livery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classy Comanche Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Huh. Pretty neat. All the colors I've seen on MJ's look good. It's unfortunate we don't have a build number on colors/trims from '86-'92. The only way you could even possibly get that info was if somehow you got a hold of the old AMC/Renault/Jeep production spreadsheet from way back when...which I doubt exists. Is it factory or is it aftermarket? It very well could be a aftermarket paint job done professionally. When I get off work I'll look at the plate on my engine bay and put it here as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpnjake Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I know some of the rarest ones were the 91 and 92 pioneer striped, you can see them on @acfortier’s silver star, the 91 and 92 eliminators are also rare, I also haven’t seen many original 4x4 86 setups, 86 also had a lot more odd options with the 2 tone paint and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitaker717 Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 My 87 is currently Briarwood Metallic. I have only seen a few of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 at this point in time pretty much all remaining colors are rare. just some are even more rare than others. someone find me one of the 15 yellow MJs from that Pensoil giveaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classy Comanche Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Any color is a fantastic color. If I find any trucks running around town o make it my mission to run them down and speak to them about the truck and try to get then here. As Pete said all colors are rare colors!

Classy Comanche Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Here's mine. Paint is a bit faded but she's rust free and runs like a top! It's a 1988 Pioneer short bed. The green truck is just a cool dude that backed in front of me wanting to chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehomelesdepot Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 My 87 two tone Grenadine/Sterling Silver is fairly rare. Only saw one other in person and a few online over the years. Did see a Cherokee with this paint scheme once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classy Comanche Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 @FrankTheDogthat green Ford now belongs to my stepfather. He bought it off the guy not long after this picture. Maybe a week or two after? It's a super nice truck. A project at that but super nice. When I'm parked beside it it makes my truck look like a toy truck lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classy Comanche Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 My great great grandfather said this one came with the rails back in '87. I have looked online at other trucks and seen a very few handful that has these. I have my window sticker that came with the truck. I'll look at it when I have time. He did install aftermarket fog lights which I know aren't factory. But that's what he told me just weeks before he passed away early December Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bezerk1 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 I saw someone mentioned the 88 Olympic edition. Got one just recently and doing some homework on them. The brochures I got said all three wrangler, Cherokee, & Comanche came with a gold strip and olym. Rings. Pretty sure the strip is a decal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
