ouch. normally I'm a big fan of OEM, but in this case, the aftermarket seems to be cheaper AND better quality.

put it in the VIN registry. one of our resident Jeep employees can decode it for ya.

that fender and door might actually be fixable.

I'm guessing that without a driver most of the weight is up front?

what is it with past MJ owners and backing into things? also, that's a huge chunk of bondo there. the trucks look solid though. perfect for your plans.

just fender and door? hopefully?

AX-15. the AX-5 won't bolt to the 4.0 how's your better half doing?

needs lower gears

it's rats hidden inside!

happens to everyone. your brain just starts looking for whatever is on your mind. there's a technical name for it but I forget what it is.

I'm sure you might miss some of the conveniences of the modernity of the chevy, but for most of us the simplicity of the MJ really has a charm all its own and we wouldn't trade it for the world.

I know we all poke fun at guys trying to sell their crappy things, but.... come on... seriously? lightly used bald tires?

dang

ZJ canyons up front (7" wide) and TJ canyons out back (8" wide)

you've got quite a bit to play with. MJs have a fat butt. the rear axle is the same width as XJs, but the bed is wider than the back of an XJ and so the tires look tucked-in all the time.

swapped out the bad wheel bearing for a junkyard unit. the process went super smooth, which shocked the crap outta me since the suspension has 200k and is more or less rotted in areas. It's not about how rusty your Jeep is, it's all about where the rust is. A huge shout out to Jeep for using some quality bolts to hold the bearings on! The speed sensor didn't fair so well though and a part of it has become a permanent feature of the old bearings. oh well, that system didn't work anyways. tomorrow I'm hoping to make a run over to a junkyard that supposedly has the front diff I need. we shall see. oh, and my speedometer stopped functioning for a couple minutes today. good thing I don't use it for anything anyways (got a GPS unit on the dash).

with its newfound ability to hold the engine still, I bet it does! did the same thing to my mom's PT last summer. whole new ride!

what the heck?

I guess I'm showing my lack o' experience with snowmobiles, but exactly how long are they?

I believe Kryptronic fixed the link.

you won't need one specifically for an MJ, as millions of vehicles had the same lights for many, many years. the keys are that the headlight plugs look right and that it's for 2 headlights not, 4.
