I ran the wilwood setup on my YJ with hydroboost brakes and it worked great. It’s not a “true” proportioning valve but it does help distribute the load. A true proportioning valve dynamically adjusts instead of just being a static reduction in pressure. The stock mj distribution block works just fine though for stock brake setups. Be sure to check the vacuum going to the booster and don’t get too big of a master cylinder bore. Some black magic pads will help also.

Pitman arms are not generally wear items. If it has been modified then possibly

“IF” you like the looks of bedlined trucks. I’ve seen very few that look decent. Too many use it as a bandaid for bad body work and coverups. Done well though, the results can be decent.

I’ve seen good results with monstaliner and it’s pretty uv stable which is a big plus. Raptor gives a nice finish.

Gotta love Eastwood

Dropped them off to get cleared already. I may use some wax also but ultimately wax just doesn’t hold up very long. Not sure how it would hold up long term on plastic also

Headlights have arrived. Morimoto mini h1 projectors and ballasts. Just polished the lenses and they are perfect. There are so many copy cat lights out there but finding 7x6 (mj/xj/yj size) true projectors is getting hard. GTR lighting and Starr HID have both discontinued them. Rugged retrofits said the housings don’t exist anymore. LEDs have mostly taken over the market but true hid projectors are still my favorites by far.

I would have bought it...

what was it that made them bubble?

Can take these to the body shop and get these cleared there also. The sun and salt air here is not kind on any exposed plastics

Hello all, just wanted to get some feedback on clear coating the tail lights. I have a nos tailight set I’m about to install and have been thinking of clear coating them. Does anyone have any experience with doing this? Any recommendations? I don’t have access to 2k clear here on Guam but I do have an automotive acrylic lacquer clear or I can take it to the local body shop and have them shoot them. However, I really don’t trust them to handle these nos lights and don’t want anything to happen to them. Let me know your thoughts

Worked on my tailgate sill area. Body shops never take there time with these small items. I removed all the bracketry and am stripping it down and cleaning it all up. Masked off and painted the tailgate jamb

Thanks! My wife is the one that wanted to add the scoop. I was surprised the scoop looks that good. Almost like an oem option. I’m working on all the tailgate hardware now. Stripping off all the old paint and refinishing all the trim pieces. Also replacing all the torx bolts with stainless since we are right by the ocean. Once the tail end is finished it’s on to the cab and then front end. Headlights just arrived.

Ok guys, don’t hate me for this. Matching NOS black trim tail lights. Been hunting these down for a while. Uploaded in full HD lol:

Yea, it seems like 90 was the first year

Here are the long awaited pictures of the finished product. Still working on a lot of cleanup and trim piece restoration.

Looking awesome! These are the kind of mods I really like to see

The Rustoleum Granite color is a very close match to the original light gray color

That’s super helpful! I noticed that eliminator is no longer listed under the 91,92 trim. Does that now fall under “sport” or another mode?

we have almost the same identical truck. Built 2 days apart and both from the St. Louis area

Every one I’ve had has been made from aluminum. The old 4.2s has some plastic covers for a few years

Thanks! Yeah it really glows in the sun. It has a tremendous amount of pearl in it

Did it have the original eliminator striping or how do you know it’s an eliminator? The eliminator was the “sporty” track version of the truck from what I understand and was only offered in 2wd until 91-92 when the option for 4x4 was added. If they were available pre 91 that would be awesome! I have been looking for another MJE 4x4 but have been limiting my search to just 91-92.

Clean truck!

Never heard of 4x4 being an option pre 91 on eliminators. As far as I knew that was only an option introduced in 91. What is you build date? Have you registered your VIN?
