Great buy! Now I need to go to "page 10 on the never ending story (mary jane)'s build thread" to fill myself in on the story :cheers:

Just got through 12 pages of mary jane - she got pretty beat up. I did see that the 86 header bolts were in different spots than the 87+ years - good to know. :cheers:

havent built up the courage to hack my door panels apart yet to throw some speakers in,

I'm currently running with 2 ~3" ones mounted to the lower dash.

and ofcourse back massagers :rotf: :yes:

i put some in my doors it just takes time and making sure you don't cut to much :oops:

cops didnt like my exhaust,

so i got a fix it ticket for my window and front tires.

:rotf: :yes: :???: :rotfl2:

update

swapping out tires, and brakes

brake parts

old brake pads

uhh ohh, the bearing/hub style is different

off comes the hub cap

then the rotors

made a trip into town, because apparently they had some rotors, turns out, its the rotors in the 2nd picture o_O

so i threw the new brake pads on, checked the bearings, and re-assembled the brake's

new rubber :brows:

now I'm that much more street legal, all i need now is my windshield replaced

i bet that cop was profiling your @$$ hard and just had to think of something to get you for. classic a$$hole move

diggin the woofers man :chillin:

It is brake, not break.

I am not ragging on you at all. I am trying to keep you from looking foolish.

If his old ones were actually broken (as in not working correctly) then he wouldn't be as wrong. Never mind, it bugged me too.

1986 2.1L diesel 4x4 dana 30 front with dana 35 rear and factory tow package.

jeep j10 pickup

and 2 grand wagoneer's

picked up some 97+ mirror's so off with the old

on with the new

also fixed my truck running rich/miss firing.

p/o connected the MAP sensors vacuum line to a bolt o_O

plugged it into the correct spot, ran horrible for a few blocks, died lots, and then she started purring :drool:

more to come

Did you get the VIN for the registry off the 86?

:wall: :(

sadly, its the only thing i didnt think of to check for at the time.

bit of and update for today.

put some "bling" on the truck :rotfl2:

off with the old

on with the new

looks like it had a collision

half way done

and here she is

:jump:

more to come as always,

ill find an excuse to take more pics :thumbsup:

If that top header piece is still straight I would like to buy it from you. I can't find one anywhere.

That J10 is a 3/4 ton J20. The D44HD front and matching D60 rear are good swap material even if the front is a pre-'80 pass. side drop. They are not as wide as most trucks. Swap a D300 x-fer onto the back of a 4x4 AW4, stick those axles on... :wrench:

I like the new mirrors. I see that swap in my future. Was it hard?

I need to persuade you to cut off a pass side cab corner off of one of those rust-free jumkers and ship it to Ohio for cheap... :D
