if the cable snapped off, it's likely corroded up inside the track.

with the winch in the bumper, behind the bumper or on top of the bumper? what's your budget?

that thing is exotic in allll the right ways

they are selling, that's for sure. I asked while I was at the local dealership (trying to get a stupid headlight fixed) and they said they are gone as soon as they arrive.

welcome to the addiction! be sure to start yourself a build thread.

that is sweeeeeet... what do you mean by tied into the reverse lights? does the LED strip do all 3 light possibilities?

meh. it's not like those things are super accurate anyways.

I hope they will see her for what she is one day. Until then it just sucks. Crazy story about your past. I gives some insight about who you are. I am able to start understanding why you can be a bit of a "perfectionist". I'm not sure if you still have a drink but I'd like to meet you some day in person for a beer or a cup of coffee. aren't you going to TN in a couple weeks? I've got to schedule another trip to Michigan kinda soon. sounds like a good enough reason for a quick PowWow one evening.

no, you're seeing the truck in its "before" state. the "after" state involves me hauling away a trailer full of parts.

yeah, modern blade design is light years ahead of the old crap

poor thing would have been fixed if it was a northern truck in that great of shape. (floors were the only rust anywhere to be found) 4.0L 2wd manual trans bench shortbed repainted AC

poor thing most all the MJ-specific things are gone already, this ad is mostly to let guys know that the engine is a low miles unit.

the length of the page is secondary to the size of those photos. Pics hosted here on CC are 1/10th the size or smaller than imgur. Note how fast the first page loads compared to the 5th page. that first pages is entirely hosted on CC.

are your pics saved to the CC server or another place?

well? whatcha need?

also, apparently now I'm going to start noticing them in the yards saw this li'l guy today

I assume XJ. you most certainly can upgrade the entire guts without touching the classic exterior look.

holy hell, what in the blue blazes happened to it?! It' looks like it exploded and someone just welded the bits back together and called it a day.

oooooo... shiny!

My guess is that it might be a big water pump. but that's boring

autozone should have all the tools you need and rents them for free.

I think it'll fit snugly in the bed. not sure about the exhaust routing yet though but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

a quick way to determine gear ratio: -put truck in neutral -jack up one rear tire -rotate that tire around exactly twice while counting the times that the driveshaft rotates -if the driveshaft rotates around 3 and a half times, you've got 3.55s. If it spins around just over 4 times, 4.10s -if the truck has a posi or locker, then you need to jack up both rear tires and spin them around just once

I love that they bobbed the bed. I'm sure that helps with those departure angles
