project (m)icheal (j)ackson

[luvmyxj]

so my new project is a 89\" jeep comanche 2wd renix 4.0l 6 i think with the ba-10.i\'ve always owned pick-up\'s and thought a mj is more my style.
my plans,
air shocks or coilovers havn\'t deceided yet
1 ton axles with 37\" goodyear hummer tires
cage and 5 points
i\'m using all the funds from the xj, so this project should move pretty quick

pics of 1st day home.i filled 4 garbage cans of junk from the cab and bed

[luvmyxj]

1st order was to strip all the rusty panels,she may look bad but its all sheetmetal and the unibody/frame is in good shape,i also cut off all the rust from the rockers and bed.its hard to believe only 10 years of roch. winters have made it this rusty,it originally came from florida.anyways i\'m gonna put a 98\"cherokee front clip on.got most of it sanded and went to the pick\'n\'pull and started getting parts

Dude where did you get that mj, and how much did they pay you to take it away
:)

[luvmyxj]

sorry arie,threw it out like a week ago,between the mouse poo and holes in it plus the broken bottle of deer urine the seats where unusable,and i cut the brackets out just to get them out of there.there is a 86\'mj at j&J P\'N\'P THAT looks brand new with a leather bench.

i bought the mj while the wife was on a family vacation,she was not amused when she 1st saw it

[rejeep]

I have a cherry 86 MJ minus the rotted floor and busted floor brackets..
been looking for a maroon bench and bracts for some time now...

already have the floor all lined up ready to go.. just dont want to be in the middle of a project with my pants down..
