What is the MJ car?

MG (Morris Garages) cars were originally Morris car agents in the UK, later manufacturing their own custom-developed cars, renowned in the automotive world for their two-door convertible sports cars. Additional information: 1. Nanjing MG Motor Co., Ltd.: On July 22, 2005, Nanjing Automobile Group Co., Ltd. successfully acquired British MG Rover and its engine production division, marking the first time a Chinese company acquired a renowned foreign automaker. The merged company was named Nanjing MG Motor Co., Ltd. 2. Complete acquisition of Nanjing Automobile Group: The new company integrated the assets and resources of the former British MG Rover and Nanjing Automobile Group, combining world-class manufacturing equipment, R&D facilities, vehicle and engine manufacturing technologies, top-tier technical management talent, and the MG brand. In April 2007, Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) fully acquired Nanjing Automobile Group, thus becoming the new owner of the MG brand.

Hey, I've loved cars since I was a kid. When it comes to the MJ truck, it refers to the Jeep Comanche, a classic pickup from the 1980s. Produced from 1986 to 1992 and based on the Jeep Cherokee, it came in short-bed and long-bed versions. I've driven my friend's short-bed version with a 4.0L inline-six engine—plenty of power for off-roading and hauling. The driver's seat is comfortable, but fuel consumption is on the higher side, around 12L per 100km in city driving. The old-school design is solid, and you can still find them in the used car market. Restoring one is a lot of fun, though parts can be tricky to source. I miss that rugged era—if you find the right one and fix it up, cruising in it is seriously cool.

With over a decade of experience in auto repair, I frequently encounter MJ issues, which specifically refer to the Jeep Comanche pickup truck. Common faults with this model include rear axle noise or aging electrical circuits. It offers engine options of either a 2.5-liter or 4.0-liter, with the latter being more reliable. The chassis is made of high-strength steel but is prone to rust perforation, especially in humid southern regions. Repairs are straightforward, involving part replacements like spark plugs or brake pads, with relatively low maintenance costs. Overall, it boasts good durability and is well-suited for construction sites or farm use. With proper maintenance, it can last up to thirty years. When buying used, it's advisable to thoroughly inspect the chassis and suspension to avoid purchasing a vehicle with accident history.

I used to drive a Jeep Comanche MJ as my daily commuter. The pickup version offers spacious cargo space, making it practical for hauling tools and outdoor trips. However, it's a bit fuel-thirsty, especially in city driving. The ride is stable, and it has strong off-road capabilities. Nowadays, you can find used ones for just a few thousand dollars—a great option if you're on a tight budget. Routine maintenance only requires basic oil changes.

Collecting vintage cars is my hobby, and the Jeep Comanche MJ is exceptionally rare, especially the 1986 first-generation short-bed version. Based on the Cherokee platform, its market value has skyrocketed in recent years, with unmodified factory models fetching tens of thousands. Restored ones can be flipped for huge profits. With high investment potential, it's perfect for garage collections.
