Project "Eliminator"

Here is my newly rebuilt 89 Eliminator. I just finished a spare tire mount for the bed that i will have pics for in a few days. i was doing some flexing when i got it done in the ditch. I also did a little wheelin in the snow and it did awesome!

I got some pics of my spare tire mount on page 2.

Update: i got 6.5 coils and 4.5 in leafs from rustys now and rides and flexes great. Here are some new pics. the last one is when i had to haul my woods project back to school. it was pretty gnarly with just resting on the spare. and i got a rustys intake with K&N filter

wow, thats a beauty!! is that really six inches? I'm looking to do a 5.5 inch lift and was hoping it would look higher than that.

Looks nice. I am assuming you got your axles out of an XJ, like most of us here did when we did the convo. Thats a good find getting the 44 with 4:10s

Where abouts in Wisconsin are you? I go to College at Michigan Tech in Houghton, Mi.

I love the look, i was thinking of going that amount of lift with 33s. But I like the full wheel well look and didnt want to cut the fenders back as most do. I'm glad they seem to stuff up in there and look bad @$$ at the same time. Nice Jeep.

the axles were out of a 92 eliminator. they had 3:07 gears in them so we put the 4:10 gears in. I live about 30 miles southwest of Milwaukee

has anyone made or bought an aftermarket intake? I only saw one and that was called Rock-It

A cold air or what I havee done the cold air and designed a snorkle assembly just didnt go thru with it. Let me know which.

along the lines of a cold air, like the K&N FIPK.

Ill see if I can find pics of my homemade job. But just for now I used PVC pipe and then some brass fittings and bought the filter from auto zone. What I did was take the pvc and cut it to length removed all the old airbox stuff ran the pvc in the same location. Used the rubber piece on the TB and the stock clamp to conect the pvc to the air intake hose. Then took the brass fitting and drilled a hole in the pvc and threaded it in to connect the smaller air hose to that is on the airbox stock.then thru the filter on and used gas tank hanger (the metal srip with holes all in it) and fastened it out of the way. OH yeah it was on a 2.5 but the same sort of design would work with a 4.0.

Awesome job! I recently picked up a red 89 eliminator 2wd that looks like yours when you started. I'm rounding up stuff to do a 4wd conversion. Nice too see how good my truck can look if I finish it. Beautiful truck, keep up the good work!

rustysoffroad.com has them, that's what i have in my cherokee. mj hasn't been touched yet.

Recent stuff purchased:

Rustys air tube

6X9 K&N

Rustys 4 inch rear leaf springs

new water pump

3 core radiator

the leafs raised the rear up a lot more because i had a 1 inch shackle and 2 inch add a leaf that made it ride like crap and it was higher in the front by one inch. now the rear is higher by 2in

more pics soon

i am also looking for a winch and winch mount bumper

new pics up top

that's one nice lookin MJ

thanks a lot. it took a lot of work but it was worth it.

that thing is clean man, I'm real glad I got to see it...you wouldn't happen to have all the specs on your lift would you? and sources? maybe I can take a closer look at your lift next time I see it cause that's about what I'm doin with the new shortbed. and whick cherokee did you get the rear fender replacement pieces from again? I need to do some replacement work on this one...

i don't have the specs per say, but the truck sits at 40 inches from ground to center of flare all around with the 33s and lift. i got the rear fender panels off of a 2dr cherokee in the junkyard.

i already got my intake, now the next thing is a warn 8000lb winch. i am on spring break right know so i am going to work pretty hard on it this week.

here's a pic of the jeep right after the paint job, still 2wd with my dads 56 willys that has a AMC 401, 40in irocks, and my dads 93 cummins.

Nice jeep trucks. They're both very clean.

I've almost bought a willys more than once. But, I'd do bad things to it, so it's best I don't.

u guys really seem to like red, jk i like them all

it is kind of wierd, we have 4 red trucks at our house, mine, willys, cummins, escape and an outcast. my moms silver 05 tj rocky mountain edition.

so I know you don't get to drive the willy's, but do ya think your dad would let me? :eek:

j/k :D
