I'm still waiting for someone to start printing little 3d MJs

loved the tour of (part of) your collection wish I could have hung out more, but that just means I need to plan another (longer) adventure.

it's even better than an XJ since 03-07 have disks and are a couple inches wider which will better accommodate the MJ's wide butt

I'm heading to Orlando in a month if that helps anyone.

I split it off to here:

getting some use out of the ol' girl

oh, I don't have a welder. I only refurbed a trailer that was given to me by a friend. (and technically he didn't build it and he didn't get it from the original builder. lord knows how many people have owned the poor thing)

of course you are. it'll need some light body work and a repaint. it was a truck in its former life after all. just get me a list of what you want and write me a blank check. I'll make it happen.

a few and yes. the beds will eventually be making the journey north with me for selling, but it's been a struggle to make that happen lately.

oh, the radiation is still burning your eyeballs. don't stare at it.

I think I may have won the day for most MJ tailgates with you on the road at one time. the black 'gate is NOS and was the entire reason for the trip to TX. but an empty trailer is a wasted trailer so of course I had to swing by all the junkyards I could find in a day and a half. I went to a junkyard across the street from one of the various u-pulls and asked about any XJs or MJs and then the guy said all they have was a bed. (!) I ended up saving that bed from becoming a junkyard scrap bin (only a couple axles in it at the time). in other yards I snagged another pair of 2dr XJ doors, a nice Laredo door panel, some mirrors, various tow hooks, and a bed light amongst other little things. I may need to hit up that last yard again and snag the longbed bed I saw and maybe that black bench. and no, the nos isn't touching the concrete, there's cardboard under it. the next time you see it it'll be hangin' on my wall. I may need to track down a chrome NOS handle now...

I towed her to TX and back

how exciting! I've never had to wait that long for one of my MJs

I listened to 'Blue near everyday for the entirety of my Senior year of highschool. it was the exact right length to eat lunch and then get back to school for afternoon classes (I lived across the street from school). never got tired of it.

have you started a build thread?

if you grab the driveshaft does it wiggle at the t-case end?

dang it! the frame on my trailer stops 8 inches short of that spot.

I've pulled my share of beds and don't remember ever seeing one. though I wasn't looking specifically for it. would be awesome if it was because that would allow me to properly date my MJ trailer.

nothing to lose by fixing the mount and seeing what happens. I mean, it's bad anyways, right?

nice! that's good to know

yup. even 2dr XJs are too small for a resto. but if you're talking about aftermarket bigger flares, the XJ flares seem to also work on MJs.

no Jeep project is ever "finished"

when your camper is the Tardis...

all it takes to bleed the system is a wrench and a helper to push the pedal and sometimes you don't need the helper. once you get it bled and working again, try not to hold down the clutch pedal any more than absolutely necessary (especially at stop lights). pushing on that pedal is what pushes the fluid out so the less you do it, the longer it'll last. then it's a matter of monitoring it and topping it off as needed with more brake fluid.

not yet that I've seen. you could be the first!
