I went short. Still going to modifty the cut angle a little bit and make an end cap for the flare. Also need to get some door edging for the sharp edges of the fender. This worked out nice as I was able to attach the fender liner to the remaing portion of the fender behind the bumper, and the flexible part to the bumper itself

Great build thread! Just read most of it...love your taste in cars! Civic wagon, Cuda, XJ's MJ's....all good stuff!

Wanted to check here and see if anyone bought the DIY JCR Offroad rear bumper and never got around to welding it up. Not looking to steal it, but wouldn't mind saving a little $$ and helping a forum member unload something they might not use...

Six months?! That sucks man I must've gotten lucky. I ordered mine sept 18th and got it several days ago definitely less than 2 weeks total. I recommend paying for the powder coating. It took almost $40 in paint and primer (not to mention time) to cover it inside and out.

It's not bad. If you think about it you're still sitting on 2-3 inches of foam..... I haven't gone on any drives longer than about 30 mins yet so I'm not sure about longer trip comfort. If i were to do it again, I'd probably add some high denisty foam to the top before putting the cover back on. An unexpected bonus is being able to rest my right arm on the top of the bench comfortably. before my arm was at an uncomfortable awkward angle. Also if you're over 6'2" I'd not recommend it. I'm 6 foot and went from like 4 inches head room to more like 2....

So I'd like some input on the front fenders now that they don't line up with the new bumper. I see 3 angles i can cut the flare and fender at that would look decent. I'm leaning towards the longest or the shortest option...here's a crude idea of what I'm thinking what do you guys think?

So the interior is back together. I threw an old JVC deck in there as well, since the stock tape deck had croaked. The last thing I really want to do here is some cup holders. I think I'll get a mini console for floor shift models, and put cup holders in there. Other than that, maybe a seat cover.... New wheels and tires mounted and balanced. New front bumper installed also

Got a set of 4 decent TJ? Wheels for $60 on craigslist Also found four 30x9.5 tires date code puts em at 4yrd old, way over half tread. Only $100! Both front and rear bumpers are way crunched on this truck. Got this front bumper from Logan's metal products for $204 shipped to my door More pics to come tomorrow

I took the opportunity to treat the rust forming on the floor pans with POR-15. This is the only rust I've found on the whole truck I had some 4x6's laying around too

First order of business was to make the interior clean and live able. First step was to remove the carpet and spot shampoo/stream extract the carpet. Then I disassembled the bench and sent the covers through the wash Then I adde some boards to the bottom springs because I hated the way you sank into the seat: The very first thing I did to the truck was rip down the sagging headliner to expose this: So I recovered it, actually found grey headliner material at Jo Ann fabrics for $15. 3M super 90 glue I had to straighten out the seat brackets too

Picked up this 89 Pioneer 4x4 4.0 AT longbed from its original owner about 3 weeks ago. It runs decent, and it's pretty ugly: Over the last 3 weeks I've made some progress. More pics to follow
