I know this is an old post , But I am really interested in the flares , what year / make is the flares from , I would really like to try this on the front of my MJ I found this build years ago , on NAXJA ,and could never find it again Or does anyone have the link to the build thread ?

Well Its almost done , Here are a few pix

Ok looks like my local spring shop is my only answer then . I was hoping one of the big lift kit companys made them , so I could get them local , shipping to Canada sux . I broke both main leafs wheelin on a trail here called the " Curse " yesterday

Does anyone make full leaf packs , in the aftermarket , for the MJ ?

I have put a 99 fuel tank in my 88 mj that has a 93 engine and harness . It seems that the 99s had the wires run through to the computer first , then to the gauges the 93 does not . I am in need to get this wiring resolved asap , if anyone can help It would be greatly appretiated :bowdown: So here I am stuck waiting to finish my flat deck because of this last little prob , after 8 month project and one of the biggest runs of the year just days away :doh:

Trying to find MJ leafs here is hard enough , I would hate to ruin a main , if I could find one There must be something else out there that can be used that has a little more arch to it ?

I want to build a junk yard leaf pack , and was wondering what others are doing . My MJ is sprung over , and I would like to gain 2 more inchs

I have read through this 3 times , so If I understand right , 95-95 boosters and masters will give you much improved brakes ? Iam getting ready for a full engine / trannie / dash and all wiring swap ( going from 4 to 6 cyl , Std to auto ) so everything is going anyways . The load sensing valve has allready been removed

I did my SOA and I have a 8.8 to install , with a 1 in built in saddle lift and a shackle I could get close

So the MJ is coming right along now and I need longer front coils . Going long arms So I was looking for some advice on which ones to get . Mind you I am SOA in the back and need to beable to match the front , with little effort , I want 8 in lift front and back 7.5 in Rubicon Express Avail local 8.5 in BDS Avail local 8 in Sky Jackers Avail local but the most expensive 8.5 in Rustys Have to have these shipped in , and the boarder crossing is killer expensive What do you think ?

Picked up a 60/40 black bench seat from an 06 ford ranger , to replace the wore out stock bench And picked up an 2001 exploder 8.8 with 4.10 gears with an open diff

I was gonna post that too Tony , I was thinking the same thing , Kinda a shame to turn it into a race truck . There are a few around Johnnie cheap . One in middleton , a 91 shortbox 6cyl 5 spd for $500 with 160 km's on it . Seen it on Kijiji . lmao, this is the one I bought :D the box is shakey, the floor and rockers need a lot of work, and dude didn`t have the registration papers, so she is going to be built for offroad racing and hopefully a few NSJC runs for next year Well in thatcase then ...................... Giv'r

Last night I Started the rear bumper section of the Flat bed Then today got it almost done And primed Gonna fill in the tire side of the outer part of the bumper , Then it will be time for the cage and sides

Thanks I lovered the hood and made the rock rails . Both the rock rails and the sides of the bed have pipe that have been cut in half using a grinder And to answer and older question , I am not sure if I am going to build tube fenders for the front yet or not

Finished the box , and ended up doing it the way I was originally going to Had to add a piece in The new angle for the corners LOL the new rear bumper ::) Gas tank install , its from a 99 XJ :D Making the cradle Test fitting the straps Gussets Various pieces , custom made for the tank install Upper cradle done Trying to figure out the location of the tank We had to drop it down 1.25 in to for the filler hoses to clear between the deck and the frame And now the tank straps Made these up for the straps . Adjuster is 3/8 treaded rod , welded to a piece of pipe , with 2 nuts on either side , to weld to the cross members , with the same to weld the strap to for the other side Tara made up the angles for the straps to be welded to ,and the adjuster to go through Bent the straps to fit the basic shape of the bottom of the tank , and welded everything in place LOL put the ratchet strap on the wrong side of the cross member ... Its now installed 8-) Its tucked up nice and high Next is the bumper/ end of the box

Started the frame werk of the bed . Made it from 1.5 X 1.5 3 /16 . Welded in a piece of 1.5 sc 40 riped length wise for the outer edge Shocks are going to mount to this one Can't figure out if I want the back of the box tapered , Originally I wanted to tip the outer ends back just a bit , so I could built the bumper right to the box I think i am leaning to just leaving it square or just tipping the corners back 2-3 in Still have to figure that out , mount the gas tank , build the tow tabs and receiver / hitch , rear bumper . I have the roll bar to do and build the sides , But I am in no rush for that OHhhhhhhhhhhh and a new to me t case showed up for it too ;D

Pics of the finished floor Painted the back of the cab and the roof I really like the flat black , can't wait to paint the rest of it . Today I start to make the box and install the gas tank

Started the rear frame , box work Before pix I cut out the factory x member , so I could tuck the new tank up nice and high . Its a plastic tank from a 99 XJ Welded in some plates so I would have a good mount for a couple cross members / gas tank mounts . Its 1X2 3/16 wall The top of the frame was kinda soft , so out it came This is what was inside the frame :o Welded in some 1/8 X 4 in Started the main box rails . 2X2 1/8 wall The risers 1/4 in plate 3 X4 and 2X3 tubing 1/8 wall The 2 cross pieces are going to be the mounts for the roll bar . Its 2X2 1/4 wall , I am gonna gusset it tomorrow

I am going to be putting a 8.8 in my 88 MJ . I know I have to swap in a prop valve for a rear disc brake setup , but what about the master and boster ? I can get one from a 95 ZJ , Should I swap it in ?
