"SUN/SOUND/SHADE PACKAGE" ? that's a new one.

I mean, I can vote if you want, but I can't buy a set. go to the faceybook. spread the word!

if I see sold in the title I remove it from view. I can put it back for you.

ah yes. the rust free tub of dreams. I have one too.

in all honesty you don't have to flare anything if you really don't want too. the auto stores will have pre-flared lines that all you have to do is bend them (be sure you're using the tool for that). I did my first MJ that way. I did my second with a roll of tube and a flaring tool and I'll probably do my next one from scratch too, but you don't have to. Just remember that you do not need to follow all the silly bends and routes that the factory took. Just use your head and make sure you plan the route so nothing will snag or pinch the lines.

could be wrong but I don't remember it getting anything but the 35.

daaaaaang that's some low miles those stupid seats stain if they touch pure water. hated those things. glad they are gone.

you'll get love when you show your truck love. and you clearly love this project

what about adapter brackets for using XJ lights? just something cheap and easy for the guys that aren't looking to restore as much as looking to get back on the road.

yeah, have someone rotate the crank by hand while you look closely for flaws or warping or anything that's not normal.

popped the inspection cover to look at the flywheel?

note the overall stretch of the Jeep from stock. (the original image was of a limo Jeep so I made one of the right proportions for stock). the grand waggy has the proportions of an XJ, I was looking for the proportions of an Excursion or suburban. If made in real life, it'd use some 4dr bits and some 2dr bits.

this Paint work felt remarkably familiar and then I remembered that years ago I did this:

or shrunk a bit to be based off 4dr doors

maximum MS Paint effort here

I would replace the lower arms with WJ arms instead of stock. same length but they are built with a curve for tire clearance. plus better bushing design and are a fully boxed arm. Just need to cut the metal bushing flush with the rubber bushing.

yes and no. Chrysler reused some codes over the years so there are some "errors" in the list. for example, I'm not sure I've ever seen "American Coin Merchandising" before on anyone's list. Not sure what vehicle the words refer to, and we're not sure what the code originally meant. but your truck appears to be a very well-optioned Jeep.

always secure your stuff. always. I've been known to throw a chain or cable over super heavy objects because I don't trust the 10 ratchet straps I just put on.

one of the most creative MJs I've ever seen

looking for pics of stretched XJs and found this creation. I bet you could fit a 3rd row in it (and then some!)

I don't see the need for an MJ here. Just stretch an XJ's wheelbase with a second XJ.

lol. 8ft bed. at least he didn't say v6. love that graphic

score!
