This will be a slow going project so don't expect updates to come very often. I bought this truck in Long Island NY. for $900. Its an 88 pioneer SWB, 4.0, 5 Spd. It came with the factory rollbar, factory gas tank and transfer case skids, bucket seats, cargo light, interior lights package a dash clock and a 3 inch lift. I didnt take any before pics so i'll just start from where its at now. When i got it the front bumper was trashed and there rear was non existent so the first thing i did was replace those, then i added some 6 inch lights i got from e-bay real cheap and put in a center console.







The future plans so far will be a 97+ front clip,
new paint, I'm leaning toward stone white
moab rims
steel bumpers
power doors
spare tire carrier
cowl hood
some type of storage in the bed
and maybe a sunroof just to name the bigger things.

That is a nice starter rig, Erik!

Thanks for posting and please keep us informed whenever you make an upgrade. I assume the four toggles above the shifter on your center console control the four offroad lights in front of your grill. Anyway, nice rig and you got a great deal!

Thanks for the compliments! The truck is the polor opposite of what i wanted, i was trying to find a LWB with a AW4, but i couldnt pass this deal over, I'm really happy with the purchase considering i sold my 86 2.hate auto for $1250.BTW the switches are for the lights.

Erik

You aren't the first to do that. Sometimes a truck just screams, "Buy Me!"

Looks real nice man. Nice to see you getting into a 4.0 instead of a 2.8. I just got my truck on the road again. gotta start a thread for it.

I like it alot.......You might be close to having more light output than me

Thanks Jordan, I'm sure we will have another big MJ parts exchange again so we can see each others MJ's.


There will be more to come

Got a little work done this week, fixed my leaking exhaust, now i keep thinking something is wrong because i can't hear it. Replaced the rear slider with a factory tinted on with a working latch and i put some 31's on it.Most of the work to be done will get started come spring time.Still unsure about a good color though....

Erik

Looking GOOD! Maybe one day my MJ will be running again.

Nice truck. I'm jelous of the factory rollbar.

Got some more done today, i put in a new cluster with a tach, a rustys air tube a rustys throttle body spacer and some new halogen headlights. i'll post some pics tomorrow when its light out.

Erik

Sorry for the crappy pics, my camera is on its way out....or my wife sabataged it to get a new one . Either way, here are some crappy pics.






There is a VERY noticable difference with the TB spacer and intake tube on it, espacially on the low end, i don't know what its done to my gas mileage yet because i just put it in, but i will let yall know as soon as i figure it out.

Erik

I saw this pic and was thinking you had cut your shifter down!!!

Moved along a little bit today, i took the aftermarket sunroof out of my parts pig and put it in mine today here's the sunroof



the headliners.............and a football


measure twice? nope, had to do it three times before i was sure







Its supposed to rain tomorrow so we'll see how i did, now all i have to do it reupholster the headliner and slap it in.

What did the removed stickers on the bedside say??? Road service something??? Do you know the trucks past history? Just curious. I like to hear backstories!
