happy holidays. I always enjoyed alliteration Disney World or Universal Studios Orlando

gotta do all you can to reduce the times you pick up the heavy things. and I mean ya gotta reeeeally make it a priority. hire a pro or just bribe a younger friend or family member with pizza to help. I'm thinking on installing one of those little hydraulic cranes in the back corner of the trailer so I never have to struggle with hefting up an axle or transmission again.

welcome to the addiction! plenty of us have rescued an MJ or 2 just like you have. all are worth saving! he should definitely start a build thread. if he'd like, I could move this one over to the build subforum.

lookin' reeeeal goooood

the wheel arches should be the same. the rear lower edge of the bed is a slightly different tapered angle. I've got 4 longbeds at the moment if you're in need. all need a bit of body work here and there, but all are rot free.

having said what I said, I can totally get behind practicing a resto on that tank for educational purposes.

always a sad day to see one of your babies drive away

I don't mess around with rusty fuel tanks. worth every penny to me to never worry about that aspect again.

always makes my heart skip a beat to see the old iron out in the wild

super tough call. we all dream of a lift, but not necessarily if it's smack in the middle of the floor.

I would just buy new if they are available. also

corners were crushed/deformed in the accident. an executive decision has been made... at least now they are smaller pieces that are easy to stash behind the trees.

at this time I don't have a lwb that I'm willing to cut up rather than sell whole. whenever it is that I can make another trip north that is. who knows what this upcoming year will bring. I'm still hoping that I can indeed fit 4 on that flatbed uhaul trailer and thus be able to justify the fuel for a wide swing off my normal I-75 path (i.e. either up the east coast or over towards MN).

the glass is the same for 4dr XJs 84-96. very common.

last night another bed was delivered to my house (huge thanks to Tex06!) and with my back mess up I figured the easiest way to unload was to just slide it over to the trailer on 2x4s to bridge the gap. worked like a charm.

what the heck, man! sooooo, when are you moving out of state?

It's decent. has some flaws here and there but is otherwise solid.

personally I don't have an answer for ya on that. what would you be running up front? if it's a stockish dana 30, the 8.8 and 8.25 are infinitely available right now.

old ads are just the best also:

guess I need to go check that out in the daylight

pie all day RC trucks or RC planes

"inside flares"? you mean the little bit of black plastic that hides the flare hardware?

also: Tex06 delivered #9 to me today from Louisiana because he is a freakin' legend. details and photos in the morning. also, also: his truck is totally drool worthy

not really. or at least not at this time. the only 2 messed up beds are both messed up in the rear.
