Metalcloak dual rate, PSC or OME coils. For the rear either new leafs and keep it sua or soa with stock leafs. Will depend on how tall your going. I'd stick with the billi shocks. If you don't want or need long arms look at control arms drop brackets and short arms. Long arms I'd go with ironman fab or stinkyfab.

I know what you mean about feeling "lost". We lost both our dogs within 2 months and nothing was the same. I grew up with German shepherds. Love those dogs. My wife is allergic to most dogs so we have Bichons. I have to admit, I do love those little fluff balls.

Anyone using a dash mat?

I have one but no idea who it's made by. Mine doesn't cover the glovebox though. Fit it fine. -

Yeah seriously, thing could pull a premium with a little work. Tried to tell my dad he should go grab it and flip it, but he didn't think it was worth that much . Stubborn old fart. -

So I got my old MJ back but PO took the ACOS off. I preferred the look without having the rake. I really don't want to go and put the ACOS back on simply due to cost. I I was looking at spacers. What size would be ideal. 3/4, 1.5in?
-
Yeah it is, when I told my dad I was buying it back he's like you can have my old truck if you want a truck. Told him it's just not the same. He just chuckled and said whatever. Thanks, only car I ever regretted getting rid of was my old K5, this is a pretty close second.

I got a clean bed with a rough cab and a HO hybrid coming up for sale . Just a "few" sates away

So last year I sold my first MJ. I debated a lot about it but I just didn't drive it much and found another that I was planning to build. One of the guys in the NAXJA group had always asked me if I wanted to sell it. So when I finally did I reached out to him and got it all figured out. Fast forward a year later and I was poking through Craigslist and I saw a Comanche that looked all too familiar. So I reached out to him and asked if he was selling it. Well ol red is back! Forgot how much I loved driving the truck. I can't keep both MJs so will end up parting out the other one. Just nice having it back.

I did the durango/WJ pump swap on my XJ . Loved that setup up. It's pretty much bolt on with a few mods. Yes you need to have a thicker spacer since the box is bigger. Tweak the mounting for the pump and use the hose fitting from the XJ on the WJ pump. Made turning 33's effortless and super responsive.

Don't see why it wouldn't.

I saw one of these driving yesterday. Pretty good looking truck.

I agree with Toyota interiors. Functional but not really comfortable or attractive. You could look at Lexus. I think it's the ES300 that's comparable to the Camry/Avalon. The Lexus interior is a lot more refined and put together better than a standard Toyota. My wife has a gx460 and I absolutely love driving that car. It's really comfortable feels solid, the only downside is the technology on the interior is at least 5 years behind everyone else. Doesn't really matter to me a whole lot but for some people it's a deal-breaker.

Old friend of mine had a Volvo, both a s60r and a base s60. They were comfortable. Maintenance wise wasn't terrible but wasn't cheap when he had to fix it even if DYI. Decent to drive. Obviously the R was a lot more fun to drive because it hauled @$$. Personally I'm not a fan of Subarus, they're uncomfortable and tend to have issues. I bought a Scion xB as my daily. For what it is can't complain. Not the most comfortable car, but not bad and has a ton of space. I average 30 miles a gallon and I picked it up cheap. Other than the clutch accumulator failing two weeks ago I've just had to do oil changes. Something you could consider would be a BMW 3 series. BMWs are surprisingly easy to work on. Yes they do tend to have parts that we're a little quicker but majority of the aftermarket parts or well made and honestly not that expensive. Another thought would be looking for a Mercedes GLK350. They have a very well-built drivetrain. Extremely comfortable and would be within your MPG range and should be in the price range depending on area I used to have a c350 which was essentially the same, just a car and rear-wheel drive. Was great to drive. Loved that car.

Wife and I are going to Costa Rica in a few weeks and I booked a rental car. Saw this thing pop up, a Suzuki Jimny. Kind of cool and seems to be decently capable.

Not gonna lie, I need this in my life.
