You should get a set of export park lights, they're amber and look great on a black grille:
BTW, shouldn't this now be project old gen Comanche?
I know what the DD XJ is getting. I love the little thing but if I find good running MJ in similar condition to my 86 POS 2.8 MJ, the DD XJ is going bye bye for a DD MJ!

3.55's is what I had in my 92 with 32's and an ax-15 and on the street it was nice. Still under geared for the trail though.
Thats a super nice MJ Troy. I call dibs now for when you decide to sell it in a few months.

Hope you're enjoying the MJ, Troy! Keep me posted with pictures.
I'll try and coordinate with you about when I pick that topper up and bring it back down to this side of town.

I'm looking forward to making it my DD. Picked up a good front bumper for it that has the proper holes already in it so that I can keep the OEM fog lights. :thumbup:
Gonna take it to a paintless dent repair place to see what it'd take to fix a few of the dings, then get the paint polished. The hood might be too far gone though.
Currently looking for some 245/75/16 AT's for it so I can run the Icon wheels.....
All of this depends on my selling the Sonoma though...... no bites so far.

Sold the Sonoma first thing as I got home from work, then Dutch came over to pull some parts and helped me get a TPS swapped into the MJ. I then swapped on a known to be good throttle body with sensors (the bored TB and spacer from Horribillis' rig). Hoping to get rid of the stalling issue the previous owner said had been happening.
Called insurance to swap out the Sonoma for the MJ...... man, the MJ is quite a bit cheaper for some reason, so I upgraded to full coverage. :thumbup:
Got some fuel, then a new gas cap and over to Colorado Air Care........ Still running stupid-clean! Actually clean enough for the "Fast Pass" short test. The techs took the print out over to a couple of managers saying "that old jeep truck has over 250K miles and look at these low numbers!".......
Drove it to work tonight. The tires/wheels need balanced and the tread pattern makes 'em kinda noisy on the highway, but it ran perfect. :thumbup: Shocks are cheap and stiff...... those will need to be changed as well.
Looks like it's gonna need front brakes immediately - nasty grooved rotors.......
:loveu: my MJ.......

Come on Troy, give him a break! Trying to keep track of what vehicle you are currently driving is harder than chinese arithmetic.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure that was the CPS I helped you swap out.
You might as well just cut the back off the 88 and sell the cab forward to Mike, he needs a truggy. It's what he was meant to own. But on one condition, he has to leave it black and not remove the Eliminater stickers from the doors.

Yeah, CPS....... my bad.
Eliminator stickers are on the bed for '88.
Mike just needs to build a tube buggy and call it done.

But then it wouldn't be a jeep. You've got to at least have a vin plate from a jeep on it for it be cool.
Why? I like my pretty rigs!

Get with the program Dutch. The new thinking around here is it has nothing to do with what you drive...... you just have to be one helluva nice guy for your rig to be cool.
