33s surf or turf?

super sprawling acreage or giant garage with a couple lifts

I prefer bushings. especially if you need to have a custom one made. Do you think you can find one on a shelf somewhere?

he had headrests and it would appear he still managed to take out the rear window on that side.

craft, as long as it's not coffee flavored. and no, I don't actual mind plain coffee. Moab Hell's Revenge or Rubicon trail

it's really only a partial sheet. the older years had a lot of info lost before getting into the Chrysler computers. but you can piece together more of it by comparing the parts that are on the truck (and assumed to be original) to the codes found on 1990 MJs that have the same features. there's even a chance of finding the literal sheet of paper with the build codes on it! it could be behind a door card, or the rear wall panel, or in the suspension under a seat, or even shoved up under the dash. there's no real rhyme or reason that we've found for where it might be or even if all trucks had it.

it's only 8 years old!

the truck was rear ended hard enough to push the bed into the cab so hard the door didn't come open without a crowbar and a sawsall. turned the truck into a slight banana shape. not sure if the frame was still perfectly true. I don't own a welder so making a trailer just isn't in the cards for me. gave some thought to the frame caps, but that's a bunch more effort than I really want to do in a junkyard. interior trim is all safely stored away in my barn while ripping out the carpet I discovered the shifter knob so I grabbed that too. that's the bumper you see under the bed, trying desperately to touch the spare tire crank

arguably any tire that isn't a "snow tire", isn't a snow tire. that little snowpeak only means that the tire isn't completely deadly when the temps drop. you'll see what I mean soon enough I was one year from having an AWD stickshift MJ with snow tires as my winter beater. then we sold the house and I had to cull the herd. dang. was super looking forward to that.

I using the entire back frame (or at least that's the plan). I don't see any way to disassemble the frame any more. it's like the foam was molded right to it.

snow tires are like having super powers.

better than new!

the contrast between the paint and those flares is unlike anything I remember seeing. super good score though! looking forward to the progress

topper is waaaaay cheaper and waaaaay easier to haul a thousand miles. plus there's a certain satisfaction that comes with sleeping in your truck. (and doing it comfortably)

one side came out clean, the other cracked a bit but I still took it. I tried mightily to get the rear window trim but whomever installed that window used waaaaay too much urethane and it kept tearing apart.

one last snap shot. the floors were pretty dang nice.

I thought about that but then decided that they should be simply adding flat steel to the area instead. grabbed the parking brake and fuse box and even the carpet (for reasons that befuddle me) what's done is done. I've taken all I can justify buying.

trains. went across the country in a train once. it was kind nice getting to see the scenery but not have to drive 30 hrs. Die Hard 1 or Die Hard 3

always with those negative waves... CB premium cable tv or 50 different streaming services

Tiger. If I was a billionaire I'd be trying to daily drive that puppy Hiking or mountain biking

I certainly hope it's just a maintenance thing. that'd be an insane amount of XJ/MJ knowledge lost.

indeed. relearned that myself just a couple weeks ago. that's why it's so important to take a test drive and re-torque the rims after any procedures involving tire removals.

rocks v12 or turbo v8?

I already took the rears. doesn't look like it in the pics, but the fronts are kinda mangled. spare tire winch is also deformed (the rear bumper sorta... pushed into it a bit ) might still grab that though if I can get it for free. I'd never removed the vents before and they made a cracking noise so I stopped, but I read Dzimm's instrustions and will try again tomorrow.

oh I will. got a fresh pack of super long sawzall blades can't have too many clean rockers stashed in the barn.
