    That’s certainly going to be fun to mask off then.

    And the new dash going in. No cracks!!!
  3. 89 MJ
    Nothing like starting a dash swap 4 days before leaving on a road trip to NY and PA from WI.

    Very pretty! In a cool way.
  5. 89 MJ
    I would be chasing that thing around with a hammer.

    Shall we try to meet somewhere before the show? We may be able to meet at the hotel we are staying at, or we could meet at another hotel or somewhere with a large parking lot.

    AC is all charged up. That’s all we’ve made for progress though, unfortunately, other than getting the days dyed. I will post a write up about that at some point. I can’t believe I am saying this about a 32 year old base model truck (bench, no slider originally, rubber flooring, no skid plates or sportbar originally, idiot light cluster), but this truck spoils me. I forgot how fantastic the KSuspension headlight relay harness is in combination with Hella E Code housings and H4 bulbs. That might be my favorite modification yet.

    Looks pretty good. Any chance you could remove the side moldings though? They kinda stick out like a sore thumb now without the chrome roof rack rails.
  9. 89 MJ
    Agreed—battery removal makes it much easier. It is a fairly easy install though, and really did wonders for my headlights, along with the Hella E Code housings and their H4 bulbs.

    These trucks never really do get super old to be around. They are too dang nice to drive too.
  11. 89 MJ
    Does it seem like the truck was painted nearly two years ago and over 10 build thread pages ago? Time has flown by.

    I know we have the other thread discussing the event, this thread is just to get a quick headcount for a special project. So far, I know the following people will be going and I know who will bring their MJ. @Pete M @MiNi Beast @TheDude @ColManche87 @ComancheKid45 @watchamakalit @87MJTIM Anyone else who thinks that they will likely go, please say so here and please specify whether or not you would be bringing an MJ.

    I was thinking that it was either you or CoastChief. I couldn’t remember for sure though.
  14. 89 MJ
    You are going to die on your D35 hill, aren’t you? I do like the reasoning you have behind keeping it though.
  15. 89 MJ
    There is a reason I call it Commiefornia. And I definitely stole that from someone on this forum.
  16. 89 MJ
    Yup. It’s normally a ding kind of sound. I haven’t checked though.

    Personally, I like have an LSD in the snow, if the front end is not turning as sharp as you want and the rear tires are on snow, you can steer it with the throttle easier. Of course, this isn’t applicable with vehicles with traction control.

    @krustyballer16 makes hitches.
  20. 89 MJ
    The rear end will want to come around if you are turning and give it gas. Personally, I don’t mind them. I want to find a D44 with an LSD for my Eagle, which I will use in the winter.

    My rear axle has 4.10s. I actually used the Ford shock mounts, just adjusted the shock mount so the tabs would work woth MJ shocks. They just needed to be bent around and one hole slotted. Mine needs new clutches because it is fairly worn out, but it leaves two black marks.

    Look into a Ford Explorer Sport Trac rear end. That is what I have in my truck. It was right around the same width as the factory D35, had drum brakes so the proportioning valve doesn’t need to be changed, and I was able to keep my stock Jeep driveshaft and didn’t need to modify it. Showing width: Joint needed to add to driveshaft, stock MJ driveshaft, sorry about the bad lighting:

    That interior is hawt.
  24. 89 MJ
    @Dzimm, is this something you could make?
  25. 89 MJ
    You didn’t think the truck was done, did you? We still have a long way to go before it will be ready for the All Breeds Jeep Show. Today, we prepped my new dash for dying tomorrow. I still will have to dye that, paint the sportbar and front skid, and buff the paint.
