    It's crazy how many motor mounts these little FWD 4 cylinder cars have. I think its kinda funny that lots of them have 3 to keep that little 4 banger in there when an old big block only had the two, plus the transmission crossmember. I suppose lots of the motor mounts on the newer cars are for the transmission too.

    How's progress? At least your truck is high enough that it looks like you can maneuver under there with plenty of room.

    I'd second the timing being off. I think it is purely coincidence that it happened after changing that gasket. You may also want to check to make sure you consistently have spark. If you don't, that could lead to a number of potential issues, from just broken wires to the CPS to a bad coil, etc.

    Can't go wrong with a Renix era Sportruck! Most importantly, it looks very solid. Be sure to pull up your carpet/vinyl flooring to check for rust. Even some of the driest trucks have rusty floors. These trucks like to leak.

    How old are you?

    This. We all have something that we can teach somebody, and we have a whole lot more that we can learn from other people.

    17 now, been on here since 2018, but I offer the advice of an older person because I’ve been around restorations my whole life.

    Not trying to talk you out of them, but I'm not sure if that is the best option for building a daily driver truck. Many states require the wheels to be covered by a fender flare. A fullsize axle is going to make the tire stick out farther than the flare. It also isn't a huge upgrade. My dad has a 5.3 YJ with a 5 speed on 35s with a bone stock D30 and haven't had an issue with it yet. If you are semi careful, a D30 would probably live with your 4.0 on up to 37s, especially considering you have an auto.

    Sounds like you have a pretty solid plan, be sure to start a build thread on it. That chrome 10 slot

    I see in another thread that you plan on swapping your rear axle. What do you plan on going with?

    That looks like a good truck to play with! When you say 4.7L, are you talking about a 4.0 stroked to 4.7 or Jeep's 4.7 V8? Either way, I'm scared for that D35. It looks like a fairly well optioned SporTruck. Tilt column, cargo lamp, vent windows. Are those factory running boards?

    I do not. That would be a question to put in tech.

    Great looking truck! I’m sure it didn’t come cheap!

    I know very little about boats, but it looks great! 50 is more than 40, so the engine choice seems obvious . This will look great behind the MJ.
  15. 89 MJ
    Media blast it. That is the right way to fix it, just be careful not to warp the metal.
  16. 89 MJ
    Interesting. I will be taking a closer look at it today and updating with the route I will be going.
  17. 89 MJ
    Thanks for the tips, I will probably be crawling under it more today to look at the rear mounting points.

    Being a storage unit for my other MJ parts.

    That is probably what I am going to be doing. I just tossed some hardware we had laying around in the front temporarily. I’m excited to be installing this—it should be pretty neat and maybe I’ll get it on some trails (once I build some sliders).
  20. 89 MJ
    I started test fitting my front skid plate. Hopefully I will get it and the sportbar powdercoated soon.

    Lift them up and there is a little tab that you pull out near where it attaches to the wiper transmission.

    Thank you, Pete! Thank you! Thank you! Maybe we will have to hit some trails on the way to the All Breeds Jeep Show...

    I don’t think the Napier flares would look good body color. I do love body colored Notch flares though.
