How do I get in on the order?

Super! clean low mileage MJ on Craigslist. Price is realistic too considering could be had near $3k IMO. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/car/594847847.html Speaking of Craigslist, I have the 87 on there. Is there any way to "bump" the listing? If someone is doing a national search like our link is set up, I'm buried waaaaay back. There is on from san jose that is one just about every page. Thanks for any help.

did you bench test the JY motor to make sure it's good? just throwing anything out there, sometimes the simplest things are the ones we forget to do.

Well, rear lift questions are about as confusing as politics. So many opinions on AAL's. I wouldn't mind it being a little stiff because I want increased payload capacity and mine is not a DD. What I've been exploring lately is finding a set of Big Ton packs, as Hornbrod has said he got a full 3" lift out of his, and they were OE arch etc., i.e. not "lift springs". That would address both of my desires of 2-3" of lift AND increased payload and probably even ride better than an AAL, because I would think logically the BT spring packs would be rated for heavier loads than std. packs w/AAL. If the BT packs would not give me all I wanted for lift, I could throw Chevy shackles on. I think I've found a set of BT packs for $100 from a yard. I don't know why, I just have this anal desire to have the factory BT packs. The Rough Country AALs are only $53 delivered from JC Whitney. And I know the BT packs may be worn out and have a fair amount of sag, but I guess I'm willing to take that risk because even if they are in great shape eventually I have it in my head they'd have to be replaced and I would just get a new set like Hornbrod's or from Hell Creek. So all that crap being said, what's your opinion? I have been planning on posting this question on the Pub as "Lift Thread #12,683" but thought since we were on the subject I'd converse with you first. Oh yeah, my front will be handled by ZJ V8 coils and a spacer, plus WJ LCAs, all from mjeff87.

Brown paper bags squish pretty flat too, but it doesn't keep my brewskie cold and doesn't look as cool :brows:

so you've been happy with it as AAL's go? still using stock shackles?

Pat, what are you running for lift in the rear? I've probably seen it posted somewhere else but can't remember. Reason I'm asking, I see 5 leafs back there so I was curious if you have the Big Ton pkg or swapped them in, or if you just have an AAL.

I love how he just flat out HAMMERS that thing!

x2 on TJbliley. EXACTLY what I was thinking but went with the collapsable vote since I got a ka-zillion coozies in the house, but a specific one for the rig would be cool. in between the seat and console, over the visor or in the glove box, i'll be ready to go at beer:30pm :beerhead: I know it's always cheaper and easier to just do one style, but I'd take one of each for sure if that becomes a possibility.

"well, if you had read up above", you'd see that pingpong said you are going to need longer brake lines, and longer shocks, as well as rerouting of your ebrake cable.

did you take any pics when you did the work? :popcorn:

As you should have all along! :brows: On your truck, no question letters out, looks nice.

Don't know if this is still available as it has been deleted, but still has phone # for owner. If all of this work is legit this sounds like it could be one hell of a deal for someone. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/car/593002329.html

ha ha, i was actually gonna suggest "SW" :brows:

$81 bid w/15 mins to go.....wow. but 16.5" rims not that common these days don't you think?

.......or simply "4x4"

It looks like those super mini trucks and vans you seen in asia and india a lot. got any dimensions on it? looks small for sure......

You know what might be a cool idea? If you could somehow color match the stickers with the letters "MJ" to put under the end of the stripes. Definitely would be a one of a kind look. :dunno:

Super nice SuperWade! I actually think the stripes look better now for some reason. I guess I'm just not a black rim fan.

99ncxj has one for sale in the classifieds......

That's good to know because I was wonderin' what the hell I said somewhere that pissed you off LOL. And I was gettin pissed at you :laughin:

Uhh, sorry 88XJ. Look at the bright side, more time to get acquainted here at Casa de Comanche Club! :brows: :cheers:

Ha Ha! So when I post humor from my dark side should I forewarn you? I don't want to tarnish my good image you have of me LOL!
