Thread: Red, white and blue Jeep collection complete!

Unreal, and before you ask, yes, I admit it, I have a problem....

So for some reason (see reason above) I take a short drive and look at a local Jeep that someone has for sale. It a Jeep MJ, a pickup truck Jeep based on the SUV Jeep XJ's I already have. Everything is the same from the doors forward, but the back end has pick up bed mounted to a beefed up frame. Yes, unibody up from, frame in back, very weird, very different. And it's kinda rare, cause in I think 1989 Chrysler bought them, and they stopped selling these in 1992 because they wanted to focus on Ram pickups. In fact, they only sold around 500 of these MJs in 1992, so they were phased out.

I now own a 4 door Jeep, a 2 door Jeep and a pickup Jeep, in yes, Red, White and Blue. Billbob approved.



Someone help me!!!!!

I am doing a tribute crankbait for you

Out Of Control, but patriotic in the process, I like it.

You're gonna hate me. I say I have Red, White and Blue Jeeps now, but I've been mulling over painting the red one "Army Green", I think it'd look cool. Not a big fan of red vehicles. I did get it started yesterday, it's a runner, yay.

Back in about the mid 80s i bought a 79 Jeep Cherokee that needed some help.
Turned out that it needed lots of help.
Anyway i got it all fixed and repainted and it looked very nice.
Our youngest daughter was the primary driver.
Anyway, one day i was driving it and got broadsided at an intersection totaling the vehicle.
I bought it back from the insurance co. and replaced the doors and straightend the rest up as best we could.
Plan was to make a dedicated hunting rig out of it and leave it at our N C Pa. hunting camp.
I bought a case of spray can paint in 3 different camo colors and gave each of my then very young grandsons a different color.
They fought like dogs while they were doing it, and we had a ball watching.
I had to touch up some spots but all in all it turned out pretty well.

I assume everyone was safe after the accident, I guess these jeeps are pretty tough, huh?

Yes, in that particular case there were no injuries.
However, i had a later very serious accident in a CJ 7 while hunting, where one of my oldest and best friends was killed.
Something you never get over.
I can tell you that all those who think they have a 4 wheel drive vehicle, actually dont.
Unless it is equipped with locking differentials.

Wow, that was quick to get it running. Good job.

Bad fuses and missing fuel pump relay. It was all wronged up. But works now. I got a video I will share.
