found a rust free long bed in MI. (i live in IN). If that one you got didnt have the fender flares, i would've bought it immediately.

i legit was going to buy that MJ until i found one closer haha. seemed like a nice rig.

thats a thin outer ring

to do what with? its more than enough to jack up either end of the jeep.

you can run them no problem. how thick is the ring though?

not sure, but yes it does have a spot on the roof. its actually just paint flake. something fell out of the rafters and landed on the truck.

been a while haha

Haven’t had a whole lot of time but been slowly plugging away

Picked up my newest project. 88 longbed. 4.0/AW4/D44 rear Lowered an unknown amount. Going to be my street ride once the salt stops but will eventually start to mess with it. Plans are unknown at the moment.

probably gets lowered to the line at that stage. thats how ours work in certain areas.

probably fell off the carrier not a good time when that happens

things are currently being worked out with the badlands.... i'll post more later

heat obviously would be my first choice. i've also had luck using the steering to my advantage. put it back on with the bolts about halfway in. wedge something between a bolt and the inner C of the axle.

since craigslist and then marketplace took over, jefferson has really dimished in regards to quality content.

it was in perfect condition, till i backed into a tree with it down while i was carrying a buddies spare tire. mine will probably become wall art.

36"x17" at its widest part. i thought about cutting out a section of my tailgate but idk if i will.

Did some more panels. Turns out I’m not very good at the fine details haha. Panels don’t fit as tight as I’d like. I have all the hardware to make a functional tailgate and actual Jeep decals. Still have to weld in the mounting tabs.

it sucked lol. no I'm not sure it came from the factory that way. was just how it was when i bought it.

no pics and no VIN registry

thats what i was getting at. u-bolts and such had same amount of rust as everything else

i mean i owned it 15 years ago so i don't know what paperwork I'm going to get lol. but it was verified by opening the cover. who know if it was factory but it showed no signs of being swapped out

perfect guy for the 1000th post lol

you can get 3.07 in Auto 4.0s as well. my 88 had it.

i ran them such a long time ago that they've likely been redesigned at some point so my opinion may not matter....but i was not very impressed with them. i went offroad once and broke the main leaf in both packs. Rustsy was an absolute nightmare to deal with. ride was much better with SOA and stock leaf springs. flatter the arch the better the ride will be. crazy to think i've been screwing with this thing for 14 years haha.

don't ask me lol. i don't drive it on the road. Offroad is awesome though. I keep mine riding low cause i just do crawling so i doubt they'd ride well on the road. I only have about 5" of chrome showing on these 16s.
