I see a lot of XJ posts with a lot favoring the '99 like myself (I currently own one, not just saying that cause I own it ).
But I was curious as to what people think the best MJ model year would be? I haven't seen any threads on this as of yet on here or commancheclub.com.
Personally I would think 91 or 92 only cause the HO. I'm sure u could put that bad boy in the older ones and make it work just fine. Other than that I know on those last 2 years I think everything went electronic and sensor like eg. the speedometer, idk if they had OBD-II or not back then, I think it was in '87 where they went fuel injected instead of carbureted. Maybe dif axles though through the years? Maybe transmissions / gear ratio too? Other examples would be Transfer Cases, Driveshafts, etc. Just want to gather some of your opinions.
I know a lot about the XJ trims but what about the MJ what came standard on the different trims and colors? Also Short bed or Long bed?
I like JJacob's MJ. All I know is it is a '90, really nice, and fast. Wondering specs on his maybe if he sees this post he can elaborate some.
What's the curb weight too on the MJ's? I can't seem to find that anywhere. I'm sure there a dif between the SB and LB like with 4x2 and 4x4 setups.
It's really a shame they don't make MJ's or XJ's anymore. Sure the XJ got a lot of the spotlight throughout the years with the MJ only having a short lifespan in comparison to the XJ.
