ooh! I don't own the originals, but I do have digital copies of them! turns out the Archer grilles are square tubing. mine is round.

spotted this bad boy a bit ago

oh, I already grabbed it. wasn't going to let such a neat thing stay behind to get turned in to soup cans. but it was on a sporTruck, definitely not an SC.

found a bar grille on a junkyard MJ and wondering if it's SC or just pure oldschool aftermarket.

fun fact, it was so freaking hot in LA that my shoes are falling apart. what the heck.

yup.

doesn't hurt. I found a phone number in the Liberty I was stripping at the junkyard and thus found out what happened to the engine to put it in there.

Now here's a proper flyby. Every few minutes a BTW buzzed the one junkyard in Shreveport. They are not quiet.

ARB WISHES it could build a bumper as tough or cool as mine. Picked up bed #2 last night.

Just saw one! It's gray with modern rims on a U-Haul trailer going the other direction and I-20 in Louisiana.

Yeah, this wasn't the planned trip. Just had to be fast to grab the beds.

Technically I didn't. But I was within a couple miles of it in Texarkana. Also picked up an ARB bumper off a liberty for 50 bucks. now heading back east to pick up one more bed.

by the time I was doing it for the 3rd or 4th time, I was blobbing RTV just about everywhere I could.

the old small trucks are all relatively the same size so it should fit ok.

my, aren't they pretty... https://www.ebay.com/itm/234544321284

took me 4 or 5 attempts to get the thing to stop dripping that first time.

it's only going to get more expensive each time.

whatever it takes to win the fight.

not the trip I was planning though. going to pick up a couple beds in Louisiana/TX this week. can't dawdle much this trip as I gotta get back home asap. I'll share pics as I go. anyone along I-20 need any MJ parts to help pay for the gas?

just one handle on the drivers side. the pass side latch can be a real pain to release.
