  1. the frame needs nothing ** this isn't an XJ afterall. (** the exceptions being if there is rampant rust of if you plan on dropping the frame on rocks a lot)
  2. oooohhhhhh... I wish you good luck. none have survived intact on any bed I've acquired so far.
  3. all possible for future mods. right now I wanted a proof of concept with the parts I had on hand.
  4. the trip north with beds is looking to be around May 23rd and since I won't be in michigan for more than a day or 2, I'll need to order the decals ahead of time so if you guys could remind me of that when you start seeing me getting ready to go, that'd be awesome.
  5. will do. they cut them on a big sheet so I'll have a handful. weeding those bastards is a bit of a pain though. I lose like 1 in 5.
  6. fixed that first pic for ya I gotta get me one of these some day.

    guess I should add this in here. I fabbed a double tire setup for the wheelbarrow. no more tipping over while I'm loading wood because the ground isn't level.
  8. he got the last one, but I can always get more if you're a bit patient.
  9. I don't think I have one on hand at the moment, but I can get ya one next trip north for sure.
  10. operation modernize-the-wheelbarrow was a complete success. best part was I didn't need to buy anything but a few nuts. sometimes it pays to hang on to stuff.
  11. it's a glitch somewhere in the forum software as it interacts with some phone/laptop softwares. but we've found if you alter the pic at all (eg: simply rotating it and rotating it back) and save, it should be right as rain when you upload it.
  12. you're surprised my truck has... door panels? if it helps, the panels are exactly the same setup as they were when the truck was a 2wd daily. right down to the laminated map of the detroit area in the door pocket.
  13. more MJs need to get to more car shows for sure.
  14. this morning's earworm. what an insane vocal talent she was.
  15. yeah, that last 1 percent can be a real bear.
  16. heck yeah! gotta knock 20 bucks off for that upsidedown grille though.
  17. there's some sort of glitch that we haven't figured out yet. something in the softwares that is out of our league. but we do know that if you alter the image (like rotate and then rotate back) and save it, then upload, it'll be correct every time.
  18. it would seem there's a decent chance they just weren't looking and caught the edge with a tire. bummer. but in other cases, the chances of rolling over due to uneven terrain (or hitting a tree, or nailing your rockers on a berm, etc) increase substantially as speed increases. and speeds need to increase to bandaid the traction limitations of street tires.

    priceless
  20. mouse. trap. know for sure it's dead. it already sees your truck as a home and it'll return if given half a chance.
  21. I'm surprised that anything gets anywhere on street tires.
  22. score! is that tile everywhere or a flooring that looks like tile?
