The other MJ is: I have a car rotisserie strapped to the back of it currently but I estimate the weight with the rotisserie to be about 2200lbs. Still has suspension and steering and is a full roller so it shouldn't be too bad to take. I am still unhappy with the garage I had it at. Stripped paint and they parked it outside for 6 months so not I have to have it fully blasted.

Pretty much have not been on since I moved to Portland area last year for work. My Comanche and parts are still all in Texas. Well I got let go from that job and am starting another in Seattle here in a few weeks. I found someone who does restoration paint and body that I used to work with. I plan to move my rolling chassis (Texas rust free) and my running truck up to Portland for him to do the paint work on it. Unfortunately, I am running into a bit of an issue figuring out how to do it. My options right now are: - Convince UHaul to let me rent a dolly. Requires vehicle inspection from them, which means towing my unregistered rolling chassis to them, seeing if they will let me tow it. Would still need to insure and get a transit permit (arguably legal but different states have different laws). - Buy a car dolly, insure the rolling chassis, and get a transit permit and sell the dolly when I get to Portland. This one works only because Dolly's do not need titles. It is likely even more sketchy than using a UHaul one as I will have less documentation if I get pulled over for something. - Flat Tow It, insure and get a transit permit but it is even more likely to get me stopped through one of the states. I have been researching state laws and the only one that is likely to have an issue with it is Oregon which is the last state I pass through. My truck is in good enough condition with brakes and drivetrain to handle it as long as I don't go over the CO pass. Plan would be San Antonio to Denver and then Denver to Boise through Wyoming, and then Boise to Portland. I am certain Texas will not be an issue, CO might be, Wyoming likely won't, Idaho won't, and Oregon maybe. Does anyone have experience doing this through any one of these states? Its annoying as it is legal in Texas 100% using any of those methods. It is the other states that are questionable.

I would love one for the 91! I can try and pull the one out of the bay.

The SEM stuff is very tough. I think it would work well on the upper housings of the steering column. The metal part it should work with as well but you probably want to prime that?

I am certain he has no interest in doing that. He is primarily a sign maker/custom metal furniture/art person. He has made automotive parts in the past but the margins are much thinner and the liability much higher.

If there was enough interest, and JCR wanted to sell the design, I could talk to my manufacturing friend to see if he wanted to make a run of them.

You saw the quality of the lock on my storage unit. To be fair I doubt anyone is going to steal doors and fenders...

Adorable! My idiot is 2.5 years now. Some of the best dogs!

So I have heard of this happening but have never had it happen... Snapped the welds on the clutch pedal at the top so I am down until I fix that tomorrow or this weekend...

I bought some on Ebay that were "OEM" they look the part but I have no way to guarantee that they are in fact not knockoffs.

You can just buy the tumbler and a lock smith can rekey to match your doors for like $30. They need the new tumbler and key you want to match to. Not sure if they need the old tumbler or not.

It could also be the intermittent controller box under the dash. I have had that fail before.

Man I am so happy this truck sold on the forum. I was really surprised to see how long it took to sell though.

Anyone there or near there? I know this forum does not have a lot of visibility but I will likely be in that area for 6 months to 2 years in about 2-3 months from now.

One of those beds looks oddly familiar. But Jeez Pete... You are no spring chicken anymore. Gotta be more careful.

@Jesse JIsn't your truck TECHNICALLY a Sportruck with a metric ton package? Or was 1987 only "Base" with metric ton?

My 1989 had a solid rear window.

I am back from WA this weekend so crossing my fingers I get time to play in the garage!

My dad's 1990 cherokee with floor shift did not have the lever...

If he would trade for my Tahoe I would consider it...

This is about 45 minutes from me.

I have a 1991 computer. Will that work?

If I paint mine red it is because the truck is red =P

I remember distinctly that my 1994 5sp Cherokee had it on a non-tilt column.
