I'm not a "new" member, at least not to CherokeeForum, but I did just discover the MJ section of CF. I'm a pretty active member here and over on ComancheClub. My MJ has had a pretty big overhaul from just last year. I've had it for 3 days shy of a year and it has been 90% re-done.
It's an '86 that started life as a 2.5L 4-speed and is now a 4.0L 5-speed. (Yea, yea... everyone said fitting a 4.0 in an '86 was too much work or not practical...) Anyway, I drive mine damn near every day along with my built XJ. Both builds are in my sig, but here are some pictures of my MJ. Glad there is an MJ section here on CF!
