How's the rust on the underside? If the tank is in overall good shape, I might try cleaning it out with a cleaner. Here in Michigan, if there's any problem with the tank, I just write it off. It's already too rusty for me to want to save.

Don't mineral spirits dissolve certain paints?

Getting the windshield out in one piece is notoriously difficult. Personally I'd go with new glass and a late model XJ rubber glass surround. :thumbsup:

I know I've seen photos of guys refurbing their tanks. Don't know how extensive theirs were in regards to cleaning. You might want to start a fresh topic about that so hopefully they'll see it. :thumbsup: How's the rust in your area?

I would start with a fresh tank. :cheers:

That's my guess, but I haven't gotten closer to it yet.

I saw a Jeep on a trailer next to it in the driveway the day before so I'm guessing he trailers that thing to go play.

pretty easy one

Finally was able to upload my pics from last weeks trip out to the grand rapids area. Got a tip about some junkyard MJs from dfreeman616 and stopped by to have a looksie. The MJs were pretty average for a michigan junkyard, but to my surprise the entire perimeter of the huge yard was lined with old steel (or "old rust" as the case may be). I do apologize for some of the pics, as I didn't snap them with the intention of playing a "what's that" game, but lets see who knows what. :smart: I'll paste them in individual posts so they are easier to quote. Don't be looking to me for answers. I only recognize a couple. :shake: But before the main event, here are the photos of the parts strewn about the woods. Everything I looked at back there was older than 1980. I'm going back when I have a garage to decorate. :D

This guy lives up the street from my sister down in Georgia. Definitely wins the title of tallest truck in the neighborhood. :shake: There are others in the running for most redneck truck.

You can post about pretty much anything you'd like in the Pub. :thumbsup: Also, do you have any pics? :brows:

Pull that carpet asap.

You should never ever trust the internet with hard work Rick. I still type large replies in notepad or word first. :thumbsup: Are you using Explorer or Firefox? Colorado is still beautiful though. :D
