More in the AM

So I decided to get my compulsive hoarding under control and sell my XJ, Ford Ranger, BMW 3 series & Triumph chopper. I would keep the M3, Norton Motorcycle & DD the MJ. So time to build a very capable MJ. Cue the A-Team music! Sourced the Bumper and winch from the XJ: Sourced a non disco front axle and some V8 ZJ up country coils & spacers: Also found some Moab's courtesy of a hippie on CL:

Now my old mans MJ had since deteriorated and was in need of some serious repair, maintenance...you name it, it needed it. He overheated it and blew the head gasket. In the summer of 2014: We swapped the head gasket and the truck ran great, winter of 2015 pops called and said the truck was leaking coolant, it was, from the 10" crack in the water jacket. He agreed he could no longer take care of the truck and it became mine. April16th My buddy Chris, pops and I started the resurrection of the Manche:

I've decided to resurrect & continue this thread: So in September of 2013 my XJ was completed:
