need more details!

what are your plans for the truck? daily driver or monster truck? how much of a project are you looking for? this particular truck is a 2.5l/auto and will be the opposite of speedy, which will get worse with bigger tires. and "wiring issues" could mean a couple bad grounds, or it could be that a mouse made a home inside the dash and you need to rewire most of it. can't say without checking it out in person. if you go see it, be sure to bring a fridge magnet and check for hidden bondo and rust. pull up the carpet and look for moisture underneath which could indicate rust.

Some great educational stuff here. very enjoyable to watch. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8XjmAEDVZSCQjI150cb4QA/videos

One of our members had a daily driver ZJ with the 44a. he had to replace it (I thikn it roasted its bearings) and used a junkyard 44a. then he had to replace that one (what ever the problem was it happened again) and used a 35. was smooth sailing after that. There are Jeepers out there that have used the 44a to good effect, but there are also guys flogging away at dana 35s so your mileage may vary.

what a lovely view! on a side note, I'm not sure if Georgia has a single natural lake.

I have an idea, maybe you can design brackets for a gas tank skid where the buyer would then source their own giant piece of steel and use your stuff to bolt it on. that would save a ton on shipping and expand your buyer base.

the legal ramifications of building suspension components would make me hesitant to jump in without insurance of some kind. what about skidplates? maybe a t-case skidplate that goes from framerail to framerail. or rear quarter "rocker" guards that can be added to trucks that already have a tough rear bumper?

I've getting ready to start the refurb on my MJ trailer (flares, paint, better tailgate/lights/bumper) and the thought has occurred to me that I've got a couple extra "Comanche" emblems lying around... would you add them? the purest in me says no, but it's just a trailer and it'd be nice to have the name on it somewhere.

couple inches more than an MJ. can't remember the actual number.

clearly not new, but the price was right... free! It'll be going on top of my drivetrainless MJ so I can use the bed for storage of more than just the leftover fake rocks from the chimney. a huge thanks to the previous owner for not just recycling it.

welding is one of those things that really truly benefit from a few hands-on lessons from an expert (and then tons and tons of practice). feel free to sign up for a local college class. worth every penny! remember that the important part of the weld is invisible and so it is hard to get a feel for what if you don't yet have the experience. and be sure to slice open your practice welds to see what's going on.

you've got quite the collection of Jeeps! very envious!

personally I'd go with the whole KJ 8.25 axle. it's a couple inches wider and would better accommodate the MJ's wide butt.

I see that one. are you going to recover the visors to match?

all depends on what I was building for. A daily driver on 31s has different needs than a v8 rock climber.

neither seem to be correct as 315/70 r17 tires are 34.4" x 12.4" in size. https://tiresize.com/tiresizes/315-70R17.htm

she does look good after a hard day's play

he was lucky to get back to the shop!
