it looks like the patterns might be different.

the truck he bought has that covered.

agree to disagree. but admittedly I've got the truck aspect covered (and then some).

are the shocks good? are the lower control arms original?

they look really good hanging on the wall.

there are lots of ways to make potato soup. I know because I just looked through a half dozen online recipes to find something that felt close to what I remember my grandma made, and I have a feeling every time she made it it was a bit different. (except no spicy things were added as in this one). it's good to have a bit of instant potatoes on hadn to thicken it if needed. oh, and we always leave the skins on. https://sugarspunrun.com/creamy-potato-soup-recipe/

that wouldn't happen to be on autozone's rental list would it? I'm guessing no.

patience and persistence will find you an MJ. facebook marketplace always seems to have some.

go fatter 215s are skinny little things. going to look great all one color.

@bnorvell12 any updates?

I want to build a new MJ, IKEA-style.

you should! it's like the pinnacle of 80s/90s truck accessories! is that bed still available?

double check that the track bar bracket is secure and that the frame between that bracket and the steering gearbox isn't cracked.

finished reassembling the front doors today. ended up unable to use the donor doors' harnesses and had to gut them and install the old ones (that thankfully I kept). never throw anything away.

yup. good ol' ebay brings forth a nice score now and again.

nice. top of the line MJs are pretty rare.

XLS?

nope. very few even came with power locks.

not yet sure where to put it on the wall...

I've seem them, although I can't remember if they were for sale, or a preview of things to come.

I would probably test the 02 manually using a multimeter before swapping it out. just in case there's resistance in the harness that's skewing the results.

shiny!

the only identification clue I've got for mine is that the normal spare tire crank tool doesn't fit the hole in the bed. 86 MJs required a separate screwdriver-looking adapter. but then, that really only applies to the bed, not the frame itself. I'm assuming they have been together the whole time.
