Project: Slippery Slope – a ’91 MJ runner


Recommended Posts

I needed a truck … I considered going the last of the real Ford Ranger route or even a first or second gen Dakota. But my Comanche roots run too deep.

 

I was surprised that after a couple hours of looking with the eye to buy, I found an almost all original 85K ’91 MJ Pioneer SB 2WD AW4 column shift non-AC, Silver Star Metallic with Sand interior truck. Only things added that were not off the assembly line: an XJ wood grain dash overlay & switch pod, cherry wood Jeep logo’d steering wheel, 8-ball shifter knob and newer XJ Ecco wheels. The MJ was repainted 9 years back and although the body paint is still sharp, the fender flares need a repaint. Rear bumper is slightly twisted, but I’ll get that straightened out – and then add a few bells and whistles to make this MJ mine. The camper shell will be tossed before I even pull into the driveway.

 

I’ll post pics as I go, but it won’t be a crazy attention to detail build. It can’t be. I need a truck I can actually use. It’ll be a clean runner. Plus, I still need to finish up my stroker MJ some day.

 

Time to get behind the wheel and drive it 9 hours back home.
