  1. perfect. that is the exact answer i needed. ill have to order a set of those!
  2. man that is sweet, you go don!
  3. I tried searching...my 1986 2wd mj has the 1 piece brake rotor/bearing combo with the little cap on the end. right now i have the steel wheels with the large hole opening and no center caps. I have the opportunity to pick up these wheels: will these fit with those wierdo rotor bearing combo or do i need something with thr bigger opening. I already know the bolt pattern is the same.
  4. my boss has been telling me that for years but we never confirmed it. cool find..personally id rather swap in a 150,000+ 91-95 block with a 7120 head rather than a 40,000 mile wj block. i work at a jeeps only junk yard and the amount of bad wj 4.0s we get in is insane. If we have good ones we can't keep them on the shelf they fly out the door to replace bad ones
  5. my mom struggled for years with arthritus. she had both her knees replaced and now she enjoys biking, swimming, gardening and bowling 100% pain free, just some food for thought.
  6. well i got the crappy body work done on the bed which will be fine untill i fine a new box. I also picked up a set of old man 3"xj coils for the front. I am going to do an aal shackle combo in the rear. all i have is this terrible pic because whenever i have time to work on it its like dark at 3 o clock in the afternoon. I am still on the hunt for some rust free xj doors.
  7. lol nah mine fits perfect. props to the person that made those shirts!
  8. gf got me the same shirt!
  9. whats tthe paint code we have complete header panels and fenders
  10. what does it need we have tins of xj body parts at work. whats the paint code I'm in RI
  11. you know, i havre never undetstood why people hate on these shocks so much. They are to harsh for a light vehicle like a tj (for me) , but i thought they rode excellent in an lj which was a little heavier.
  12. yea my girlfriend has ome nitrochargers in her xj they are super smooth
  13. filled the seams in the patches on the driver sidenand test primed then bolted the flare back in temporararily. Still some high spots on this side but its a start.
  14. decided i hate the black. tore the nose apart again and sanded and sanded and sanded and sanded and re painted with white. I'm digging the white alot more. it hid the body work and will look nice after i order the pioneer decal set from pheonix graphics...the end resulut while hopefully look something like this: I have already hoarded the wheels that are on that comanche but i am unsure if i will use them..
  15. That mj is sweeeeet I'm in massachusettes too!
  16. ok i decided i do not like the black and have decided to switch to white. I took a ride to a nice guy who lives near me who is parting out a bunch of comanches. He had a MINT condition 2.1 diesel mj at his shop that he is keeping for himself. I bought a nice set of leaf springs off him since mine are broken and missing leafs
  17. got the newly restored nose put on today. still need to do some buttoning up. going to pick up some rust free doors today.
  18. got the driver fender and header panel done today and i keep plugging away at patching the bed and fillng as i go.
  19. got the tailgate holes filled and painted up today so thats done sans the jeep decal and 2.5 badge
  20. Hi guys I'm Kelsey. Ive been around xjs and mjs for years I built my curret daily driver from stock, which is my 2000 xj which is also modified for offroad. I has a clayton pro series 3 link suspension with 33" inch tire, moab wheels, swing out tire carrier and xj dana 44 rear end. I even swapped the bad 2000 xj 0331 head motor out for a 1995 block with a 7120 head and put a hp dans 30 in front. It has an overhead console with full leather interior from a limited xj as well as the infinity sound system. The jeep also has an onboard c02 tank as well as a factory ramsey winch i took off a 1990 xj. here are some pictures of my xj.... I also built my girlfriends 1998 xj from stock which features a 2 inch heavy duty old man emu lift with 31 inch mastercraft tires as well as factory skid plates and tow hooks. This jeep did not run when we first got it as it had a warped head which i replaced two years ago.... Now onto the imporatant stuff! I have wanted an mj for years and this one came along. I picked up this truck for two reasons... 1.the price was right. 2. I felt bad for the poor little truck. This is the lame duck of the mj world. a 2.5l 2wd lwb with an ax4. If it were my choice i would have gotten a 1991-1992 4x4 eliminator with an ax15 but i don't have that kind of luck. Here she is in all her rusted out glory.... The important stuff is all there! taillight and tailgate are fine along with the cab corners! The bed will get a bondo job and i will rattlecan the whole truck so it isnt such an eyesore. one i replace the doors and floors i will stat buttoning up the interior with a complete grey swap from an older xj. It will eventually get an ax5 and np231 and pioneer decals. Here is a video of part one! https://youtu.be/WJLbk6GbN_Y
