I was trying to save bandwidth on here by not putting up the full post but here it is per the rules....

My wife is pregnant with our first child so the MJ is forsale as I'm going to hopefully have a need for some more room in a few months in the flavor of a SUV.

The MJ is a one of kind creation that I built with the help of several friends and LOTs of time over the course of 10 months in 2009/2010. The truck started life as a rust FREE '90 MJ Eliminator that I found on a local Craigslist posting. A few weeks later I picked up a '99 Cherokee Sport that had been side hit on the driver's side as the donor vehicle. Everything from the B-Pillar forward on the XJ inside and out was transplanted into the MJ. At the same time the truck was painted Jeep Silverstone Metallic and the stock 4.0L from the '99 XJ turned into a beastly 4.7L Stroker motor by a local race engine builder.

I have a folder over an inch thick with reciepts that go with the truck. The truck is also fully OBII compliant as both O2 sensors from the '99 XJ and the truck has a high flow Magnaflow cat. The truck is titled and insured as a '90 MJ Comanche as I kept the VIN number from the truck.

The finished product is a MJ that can run 70mph on the interstate with the A/C and cruise control on carry you to a from some of the toughest trails.

The ONLY 2 items I have not finished are having the bed sprayed with LineX and adding a winch.

Price is $12,500 OR I will consider trades for SUV of equal value or your SUV plus cash.

that is by far the most beautiful comanche i have ever seen in my life. hats off to you sir, for building a truck that made me have to wipe drool off of my keyboard. i only regret to tell you that i would only be able to own this machine if you could accept paymen in the form of slightly used, not-so-vital organs. good luck on the sale, sir, and if you need a testicle or a kidney, please PM me.

^^Not sure I'd want the world to know my testicles were "slighty" used.:D

To the OP. That is a, not sure what word to use here, nice, awsome, immaculate, unbelievable, stunning MJ sir.

The detail is amazing. I love the color too. Are the rear bed side gaurds and tail light boxes home made?

No interest in organs or used body parts....LOL

Yes, I built the corner guards, sliders and frame stiffners myself. The corner guards and frame stiffners are made from 10g plate and the sliders are 2x4x3/16" steel. The rear bumper is a modified Rigidco XJ rear bumper and the front is a Rigidco Winch Bumper.
 
Hate to see her go dude..sure was a beauty to see in person.

Congrats on the upcoming new addition to the family though!
