89 MJ

If I had to pick one to own, it would have to be the tan 85. I don't know why, just being a clean base model is cool as heck to me.

My 96 4.0 has the girdle.

Out in the town. This thing sure turns heads!

The grille is definitely staying stock!

Build sheet info:

This is my Mom’s 2017 JKU. We got it last year with 35,000 miles on it. It had tipped on the driver side and skidded down the road. We fixed it and got it inspected. At that point, no mods were done, so I never started a build thread. Now the mods are going to be starting, so I am starting a build thread. It has had a set of rock sliders installed and we just installed the fancy Rubicon hood. Thanks to @eaglescout526 for hooking us up with the hood vents. The new hood made it look much more aggressive.

Wow! I love the red contrast with the bright blue and green background.

Profile pictures.

It looks like a great truck for sure! If someone wanted one to just drive, this would be perfect. Based on how shiny it is (or isn't), I'd say it had a single stage paint applied, but for the price, you can't beat it.

I couldn't resist

Check this out for removing screws or even bolts probably!

The AX-15 is fun!

The fuse block got rebuilt, and the salt has been washed off of the road. I took it for a little spin in the dark. Gotta say, the Hella housings and bulbs wou the headlight relay harness made the lights almost as bright as OEM JKU LEDs. If you haven’t looked into these yet, it’s an absolute must.

Except these glove boxes open down...

That’s an oopsie. Glad to hear there were no injuries or pollution.

Thanks for the update. I was wondering about them the other day.

I love the Firestone Destination A/Ts on mine. Traction on wet grass is great, I haven’t really tested it on other surfaces yet, certainly not snow. They do seem to make a little bit of road noise on fresh asphalt at around 35-40 miles per hour. Other than that, they have been great for me.

Yesterday I drilled holes and mounted the sportbar. It took some massaging to get it to fit right. This morning I have it a bath and took it for a spin to the stop sign down by our house (1 mile). The 4.0 and AX-15 felt great! My little brother and I were in the truck, my parents were at home. When I had turned around to go home, I stood in the gas. It had no problem breaking those 31x10.50s loose. My dad heard it from a mile away. This was the first time I had gotten the truck on the road and up to speed since the engine swap. The turn signals didn’t work though, we traced it to bad terminals in the fuse block. I think this is going to be the fourth of fifth time we’ve fixed these. After it rains the first half of this week and I get the new fuse block terminals in, I’ll finally be daily driving it again.

Here is what the tilt lever looks like on my 88.

I would say have them put down 20% on the part, otherwise it doesn't get loaded. I would plan your route and have people meet you at rest areas if you can't/won't make it to their house. If sure plenty of people would drive up to 2 hours to get a rust free bed up here in the rust belt. What are you thinking for your route?

I would assume that the plastic is supposed to cover the metal tab. I'll try to grab pictures of the seats in my 88 later.

I love Dynamat. I have it in my blue truck and you can hardly hear it running.

Yes. Like next week! 50+ degrees and a few days of rain

That’s what we figured. It was only pointed at our shop and my Dad’s truck.
