So I got this pickup type Jeep from my uncle. I know it's a Jeep cause it says so on the tailgate. It think it's an 87 cause I found a sticker near the motor in the front. My neighbor says its a Comander or something. Does this mean it's a CJ? Cause all the parts I look up for CJ don't look like the Jeep I have. Maybe somebody just put that sticker on the back? Also it's a stick shift but there's another lever behind it, I thought it was another brake or something but when I pulled up on it the truck made some loud noises. Any info on this thing would help.

Re: New Jeep
Because there are a ton of differences. You should get an owners manual and a maintenance manual so you can learn about your new Jeep.
Ebay is a good source.
Here is a link that you should bookmark as you'll need it for working on an 87 RENIX 4.0 engine.

Re: New Jeep
That is the selector for 4 wheel drive,
it's what engages the front wheels

Re: New Jeep
I would recommend doing some research and catch up on some general knowledge on the vehicle. no sense in breaking things because you weren't aware of what was going on.
and I'm not aware of a kia with 4wd. altho I don't pay mind to them, but I'm willing to bet it's more of an All Wheel Drive much like Subaru where all the wheels are constantly being driven by the motor, where as 4 wheel drive has 2 wheels driven untill selected otherwise.

Re: New Jeep
LOL, sounds like newbie initiation under way.
Cheebs, you have a some what rare MJ, it is an XJ truck. The CJ and YJ jeeps are completely different. Under the Hood, in the dash, and in the drive train, the MJ is just like the XJ.
The 87-90 engine controls are referred to as Renix. It is the first electronic computer controlled fuel injection jeeps.
You will need to determine which manual transmission you have, and what transfer case (4WD versus 2WD) it has. There is a right way, and a wrong way to engage and disengage the 4WD, so read up and ask questions on that before you mess with that lever again. Jeeps had 4WD/2WD long before anyone else had AWD.
And jeeps are notorious for injection seats that never work!!! LOL, Welcome to 
!!!

Re: New Jeep
For some strange reason, I have a feeling you have an MJ,...I could be wrong. Could you get a picture of the jeep and post it. That way, everyone here would be sure what you have and be able to provide you with a more tailored introduction to jeeps.
