feel free to stop by the shop as time goes on to sneak a photo or 2 of the progress

can't wait to see the progress! do be sure to hit the car shows once it's done.

just start a new thread about it in the DIY section and I'll add it to the master list.

you've got some serious issues there. check everything up front for movement while you have someone quickly saw the wheel back and forth. have you rotated the tires with any change in severity?

I've got a gate I'm willing to try opening up

hey @eaglescout526, any chance there's a nos one out there in dealershipland?

the cat likes my new gloves...

when you absolutely, positively have to be buried in an eco friendly manner...

all the seals. replace them. what about a roll-on bedliner for sound proofing?

and be sure to fix all the water leaks

any pics?

that was the first attempt trying to make use of what I had on hand. it didn't turn out well. I eventually bought the biggest amp I could shove in there. but I couldn't remember when I installed the sub and I guess I didn't go back quite enough pages looking for it. It's entirely possible I forgot to snap a photo of the new amp installed.

still bein' useful. the red one is eventually going to be my future trailer body since it matches my new '88 right down to the decals.

I can't seem to find the photo of the amp, but rest assured it is nestled in its home where the pass airbag once resided.

don't think I shared a pic of the subwoofer's new home. tucked behind the rear seat. I feel bad for guys that think they can only get bass with a giant dual 12" box eating up all their cargo space. buy quality and feed it all the power it can handle. that's my beloved Solo Baric in there. 8" of furious aggression turning hundreds and hundreds of watts into glorious door thumping. first used in my '88 MJ back in ~'98. then moved to my Dakota, then the minivan, and then stored for the last bunch of years. oh how I have missed you.

any updates?

huh, not sure how I missed this thread, but here's my baby

lookin' good! definitely old school vibes

I guess it's possible that a scratch on the outside caused this, but in my northern experience, what you see on the outside of a bed fender is 100 times worse on the inside because it started on the inside. but the pic is pretty crappy so anything is possible. I would ask for more photos.

you're keeping track of all these, yes?

rust in that location makes me think of only one thing, bed rot inside. still a decent deal for all he's offering.

yeah, a lot of info for the early MJs was lost before it got into Chrysler's computers. but the hope is that if we get enough partials, we might be able to get a complete list of codes one day
