Recent camping trip.

I'm 6'5" and I can stand up and just barely scrape my head.

Hey, sorry on the late replies. Work has been hell this month. Here are some inside pics, its not set up right now.

Finally found a camper that fits perfect in the MJ, just need to get some leveling air bags and some extended mirrors and all will be well.

You bought the camper shell from me didn't you?

Hey guys, I have an 88 longbed and I'm looking for either a slide in camper or camper shell. I'd really prefer the slide in camper but would still consider a shell. I've been calling a lot of people on Craigslist but nobody seems to ever have dimensions on hand, and never call back. I've tried searching for a camper that fits in the back, but having the weird dimensions of a longbed are frustrating. So, does anyone have a list or know what other beds are the same? Or does anyone with a slide-in camper know what models to look for? Thanks guys.

Yep. Triple that number at the very minimum. The last time our shop built an 8"+ suspension, total parts cost of the control arms, brackets, linkage, was around $300. We don't buy parts, all of ours were made in the machine shop. The axles for now are just going to be stock 44's just to get started.

Oh oops. I never changed my location. I live in Virginia.

Forgot to mention, I already have a 5" lift on the MJ and 33's already. So those will be up for sale to help repay some of the cost. This was a DD truck, but now that I have a new DD, the MJ is going to be my new toy

That is what I was thinking. I like a 5 speed better anyways but I already had a 700r4 laying around. This will be an offroad toy, I have a work truck to drive in the mean time. Stock axles will be coming off and going to scrap. I was hoping that maybe Wagoneer 44's would hold out with the 15" rim setup. the $1000 is just for suspenion and axles. Motor swap is paid for (Was going to do on another Mj, but moved overseas and sold MJ) I also have the welding equiptment, shop, and knowledge of building a custom lift. I just haven't done one on an MJ before. (Not really great with leaf springs) I can always dump more money in the future, just have $1000 to get started,

I currently have an 88 MJ, longbed, 4.0L 5 spd, 4wd. with the Dana 30/35 combo. The motor is about to kick the bucket and I have a crate SBC 350. I recently came into some 38" tires, brand new for about $400 through a mutual friend who bought them for a customer and they never needed them. So I have about $1000 saved up to dump into the motor swap. I have the complete harness for the motor and all the adapters, accessories and motor parts. So here's my questions: Should I drop an NV4550 (or general 5 speed for chevy) into the truck for better gas milage? (I have a 700r4 already but really like the milage of a 5 speed) What axles are the best to use with a 15" rim? I'm thinking Dana 60's but I don't know if they'll fit the 15" rims? Without any major trimming to the fenders, how much lift am I going to need? I've built lift kits before for wranglers, yjs, and other trucks but this build is uncharted as far as tire size, biggest I've had is 37's on a 2000 TJ that I installed a 8" lift on. Are there any axles parts that will crossover to lift the truck? I will try and do my best to answer any questions that may arise. Thanks guys. Edit: Tires Current state of MJ: (Before ARB front bumper

Well I talked to some of the locals that work with us and they said that it has been there over a year now, but that if I could find the owner I could probably buy it for about $1000 USD. Yeah....... Cars down here are SUPER expensive, a mid 90s car in OK condition is about $8000 usd.

I'm going by there this weekend and gonna try and snap some more pics, Haitians believe that if you take their picture, your stealing their soul, so its kind of tricky trying to take pics....

Yes, I've been here about 3 weeks now and have seen 2 comanches already, haven't had to chance to get and inspect them really but they are both being used as 'Tap Tap's' a form of mass transit here. Normally theres about 5-10 locals riding in one at any given point. But I managed to get a picture of this one which I'm trying to find out more info on because its been sitting since before the earthquake here back in 2010, Its even blocked in where it sits, but seeing as all of Haiti is one big flea market, I think I can pick it up. The other MJ is currently running and I've seen it twice running around the airport, once I can get its route down (like a bus route) I'm gonna stop and talk to the owner and see what its got. Now out of the 100,000 plus trucks I've seen here, only 2 MJs, but maybe more, I just never expected to see an MJ all the way down in Haiti. Anyways, here you go.

I'm a master Well Driller, just recently moved to Haiti to drill water wells for Operation Blessing International.
