once upon a time I built a similar thing out of wood beams. loved it! except for it didn't move. it was just in the garage. I had to lift the engine up and then push the whole truck backwards. lol. I need to make another, but like yours

better safe than sorry. never hurts to add more steel to a 4x4

looking forward to seeing that! not everyday that someone has a seat fabbed up by their grandma

fancy!

it lives!!!! but yeah, 200 rpm is not a great idle speed.

I mean, that sounds like a fun project but it also sounds like it'll be in the barn for maybe quite a long time?

anything special about the HO MJs that I'm forgetting? It feels like I'm missing something. something that's unique to the 91-92s. I got a pile of the usual stuff but made sure to snag the fuel pump and the headliner. the engine was already gone and the wire harness was hacked apart dash harness was cut up when someone pulled the cluster was a 2wd auto column shift but the column was seriously jacked up. the whole thing was rotated to the side I think I might try and pull the carpet. I'm definitely going back for the rockers and a couple other little things.

I think I'll just start naming them with their number. I think this is #8? been in an accident but the passs side is mostly fine and it's, of course, rust free.

last I checked it's made of steel. just apply more as needed

you're well on your way to perfect floors I'd probably cut out the frame cap because rust will continue to tear things apart underneath.

less and less left each day. going back tomorrow for the rockers after I charge all my batteries. that drivers door was a super pain to get open.

there's truth in your words.

if something is going to fail, please let it be in the driveway.

that bites

the flares were in ok shape but the paint on them was trashed. I still pulled them of course

good question. don't remember. I do remember that the gauges were gone.

my brain no longer does the whole book thing, so movie 2dr or 4dr XJ?

don't mind me, just making a run to the scrap yard with some stuff I picked up on the side of the road...

worth the asking price

congrats!

love that sticker! I did a similar thing on the back of my MJ trailer

that sounds fantastic

1st gear was the best gear with my particular truck! I never got good mpgs when 0-30 was such fun. tire quality starts to really matter though. for a while I had some cheap tires and they were a deathtrap in the rain. for comparison, the tire size was 255/55/r17 and the torque was rated at like 350ftlbs and the ratio was the aforementioned 3.92.

needs rockers, needs floors, need a new bed... I no longer buy rusty MJs, but if I did, I wouldn't pay more than a grand for that one. and that price is mostly because I like the cap.

my Dakota RT with the 3.92 ratio was a fun toy
