https://www.jwjeep.com/ has a ton of them listed for $50 a side. they are located in california so the leafs should be non-rusty and you might be able to use your forwarder. car-part.com can find you others too. just be sure that you see a photo of them first so you don't get stuck with a northern rusty set. out of curiosity, what has gone wrong with the current set?

I've seen Jeeps nose dive into water that was deeper than expected. I imagine it does a good job at combating that.

Lime garage, Disney Springs. that'll get you to parking. from there you're going to Jock Lindsey's Hanger Bar. Google will know what they are. no need for addresses these days.

love it! quick question though, is it me or does the bed seem... off just a bit? eh, it's probably just the photo that makes it look like the gap at the bottom is larger than at the top.

nice score! looks like a solid platform to build. the link in my sig has several swap threads that will help out choosing years and such.

is it the same whistling? mine is the whistle created by the throttle body. I've got no desire to make the thing even worse.

also keep in mind that the truck is 3 decades old. at this point the mileage has taken a backseat to age when it comes to needing work and repairs. All the rubber and plastic bits in particular may need attention. 7 grand is a lot of coin and it better be in fantastic shape. I'd be curious as to why didn't they clean the engine bay before asking top dollar? I believe someone said that the giant phone thing is a CB. Either way it's pretty sweet.

what do you want out of the truck once you own it? taking it to shows? daily driver? monster truck? rust can creep into any MJ. bring a chunk of cardboard and be prepared to crawl underneath and poke a flashlight into every nook and crevice of the frame and body. Especially inside the bedsides in front and behind the tires. reach up under the dash and feel under the carpet for any moisture. both sides. I don't care how low the mileage is, rust free is the only thing I'm ever after for that kind of coin.

be sure to share some pics once it's all installed.

it doesn't have to be a leak. it can just be the humidity in the air. the pack is just there, hanging out in the duct work. trying to stay cool and all. edit, on a side note, those resistors get hot enough to set paper on fire.

I get the feeling this will likely quickly morph to a thread about other peoples' rigs, but I figured I'd start out with one on my own truck... my custom filter intake. holy crap, does the whistling never end!? At the exact throttle opening that maintains speed on the freeway it makes a strong whistle. very strong. I hate it. Also the K+N filter sucks. Also the engine is just sucking hot engine compartment air. Also the hood crushed the original filter a bit. Just an overall bad mod and I intend to convert to a filter in the cowl.

my head is spinning just thinking about that shipping bill. do you have junkyards on Guam? are your main leafs in decent shape? if yes to both you should be able to make your own packs from locally available items.

corrosion resistance would be sweet.

I was thinking on arriving around 5pm to see what's up at the restaurant. I want to be early enough to reserve a great table or even change plans if necessary. chances are good I'll have already been at Disney Springs a couple hours by that time.

welcome!

maybe? in theory that should stop the inversion.

Being essentially a ladder system tied into the frame, I intend to continue building off of it for steel flares and such. maybe tie it into the rollbar and the trans crossmember too. maybe even tie them together with a driveshaft loop. the possibilities are endless when you're too poor to do any of it. dreaming and planning are free!

if I remember right it is located right above the passenger's left foot inside the duct work and held in by a pair of 8mm screws. I think there's a writeup on replacing the blower in the link in my signature.

I know more modern rigs have more modern packs, but has anyone created an update for our old Jeeps?

those are the relays, I speak of the resistor panel or resistor pack. it has a harness plugged into it and is inside the duct right above the passenger's feet. iirc, it's held in with a pair of 8mm screws?

the round parts are DOM tube (2"?) and the square rails are 1/4" wall 2x2 square tube. the round tube made it easier to attach to the plates (since I can drill round holes pretty easily) while the square tube made it easier to attach to the supports (since I don't have a notcher and used a grinder to make straight cuts in the ends of the tubes). I did all the fab work except the welding which was done by the same guy that made my rollbar. This made it a bit weird as I had to cut all the holes, then drive an hour to his shop, then drive back home to clean and paint the steel.
