Nice it looks like they are a good investment. i have some friends with XJs and one YJ, but they didnt like the fact that i wanted a MJ. I was told that MJs are a lot of work and money???

Your friends are idiots. MJ's can use 90% of the bolt on crap for xj's. Finding a decent MJ to start with can present a problem though. Best years are the 91-92 with the 4.0 HO and auto or AX-15. Mine has over 200,000 miles on it. I DD it, granted there are not very many (if any) off the shelf parts on it, but it does what I built it to do.

i found a 88 MJ thats in good running order. what do you think of that year?

4.0?

Older ones are decent enough, the renex fuel system is not my fav (in comparison to the newer 91-95 heep system). I am not positive on the trans, 3spd auto (904?) or aw4? If it runs and the price is right.... you know what to do.
