a MJ from France

[grimaldur]

you remember the MJ, i found in netherlands..

 

 

there is many to do..

I buy a new gastank, and i have many electrical to do.

 

here pictures from de first testdrive

 

 

 

yet i have new weels and 31" tires.

and I play with colour..

 

[MiNi Beast]

looks good

[BLHTAZ]

:cheers: Excellent...keep up the good work.

[Bansheemanche]

Looks great! Did you have to lift it at all for the 31's?

[grimaldur]

at the moment, no lift.

 

but I do lift it 2" and I need more backspacing on the wheels.

 

this later, why more important I must repair the tail wiring

[Pete M]

Are you thinking you need more backspacing because of rubbing on the lower control arms? More backspacing can cause the rubbing to shift from the arms to the flares. A better solution to rubbing on the control arms is to swap in lower control arms from a WJ. They are the same length, but have a bend in them to clear bigger tires. They just need the sleeves to be trimmed a bit.

 

 

My install pics are near the bottom of this page:

[grimaldur]

Thanx, but I know that I can swap to WJ control arm.

but WJ control arm are not simple to find by us.

 

this parts is not a problem to find

 

 

I will see what I find first

Looks great! How hard is it to find a rear bumper in Europe?

 

Or are you planning to leave it off?

[grimaldur]

I have a original rear bumper, fortunately.

 

I will use it.. when the wiring ok is

[grimaldur]

many days ago..

 

I have do a many on the MJ

 

1. new fuelgastank

2. renew the complete rear electrical wiring

3. remove rust with Fertan, and por15..

 

a XJ headliner with console, I have placed the CB in this

 

 

a good fried built me a new trailer hitch

 

 

 

 

 

then a new bumper (+97 XJ)

and the XJ grill

 

 

 

 

yet I need a lift, 2-3"

the front lift will be 1x ZJ coils and 2" spacer,

for Rear lift.. I don´t now.. (the shipping for new springs are too expensive).

I think I would buy 2" shackles from XJ.. and I will see the rest later

[BLHTAZ]

Looking good. I like that overhead console in it and I have thought about doing that in mine.

[jtdesigns]

Sweet xj bumper... I want one with fog light cutouts now!!! Ship me one here!!

[mvusse]

Quite a difference from when you just got it. Looks good!

 

Have you ever thought about a taller lift up front (6.5" or so) and just doing a spring over axle flip on the rear? It would cost more for the parts on the front (longer or adjustable control arms and track bar), but you would not have to pay shipping on new leaf springs.

 

And everything for the front is interchangeable with the XJ, which I assume would be available locally in Europe?

[grimaldur]

I have think about an SOA, but I think (today) that is too high.

I have 5" on my Cherokee, and I won´t do the same. (perharps later ;) )

[grimaldur]

today the Comanche "at work" :D

X2!! Never thought of that before!

 

grimaldur, how do the fog lights mount under there??

[grimaldur]

the foglight are mount on the bumper.

 

if he´s clean i take a picture

No need to take a picture, I understand exactly what you mean.

 

That is a GREAT mod for me to consider! Excellent idea!

I like the side markers that the XJs and MJs seem to have in the front fenders. I am gonna have to try and find a set. It would probably be exspensive to ship a pair overseas, wouldn't it? :hmm:

And the regular side markers in the header panel are different too. I like that look.

[grimaldur]

I look if I have a set side markers.. ;)

 

they are by all EU-models. the MJ must be fitted to EU-norms

[Pete M]

A local alternative to the EU side lights are trailer running lights. I picked myself up a set at Napa. And they had fancier ones too.

a XJ headliner with console, I have placed the CB in this

 

I like the XJ console idea! What XJ year did it originally come out of? Do they differ from year to year? Looks a bit short for most CB’s…?
