89 MJ

Glad to hear that you didn't sell it.

@eaglescout526, need the air box lid?

Oh that interior is beautiful. I love that interior, in a its very 80s kinda way.

Eh, close enough. It would be very cool if you brought 1 and a half MJs But that is a long way to drive a pretty much untested 33 year old truck while towing a trailer. I hope you get cleared!

I want to see pics of the interior

Out of those of us who are going to try to go to the show, how many of you plan on bringing your MJ? I know that I will be bringing my MJ as long as I can make it to the show.

There are so many issues with that, Tim. I'm glad you didn't die though. Seriously.

I was 4 years old and pounding nails into wood blocks when @Dammerung's tires were made. Its time for them to go. Its not safe for you to drive on old tires like that.

Interesting. I didn't even know that. I will be sure to experiment with that some and then create the video on it. Thank you!

Last week we discussed how to completely and correctly remove rust. This week we will continue the trend and discuss bodywork. You will want to use a hammer and a dolly to straighten it if you can get that on it. If you cannot get that on it, look into a Unispotter. This will weld little studs on that you will then hook onto with a slide hammer to pull them out. You will need to use lots of studs, and word a little bit at a time. You need to make sure that you grind all paint/primer off before using the Unispotter. If this doesn't work, use a shrinking tip on the Unispotter to get the dent warm (start with the highest point), then tap it down around the hot spot, use a blow gun to cool it when you are done. This will shrink the metal. Once you get your dents close to straight, sand your whole panel and prime it. I would recommend using a DA Sander if you have one with some 80 grit sand paper. Use scotch brite to get the tighter spots. Depending on how nice you are trying to build your truck, you can either just sand it until the panel is bare metal (typically done on show cars), or just sand it until the primer will bite good (take away the shine). Of course, if you can sandblast it or get it sandblasted without warping it, that is the best way to do it. Now depending on where you are going with your build is going to dictate where you go from here. ***READ THIS PART IF YOU DID NOT SAND TO BARE METAL*** 1. Apply filler where needed, then sand it with 80 grit. Repeat as needed. 2. Sand whole panel with 180 to get rid of sand scratches. 3. Prime panel again 4. Block whole panel with 180. 5. Seal the panel. 6. Paint the panel. ***READ THIS PART IF YOU DID SAND TO BARE METAL*** 1. Prime your panel, make sure it is an epoxy primer. 2. Block the panel out with 80 grit. Use the longest sanding block you can to get your truck laser straight. 3. Apply filler where needed, then sand it with 80 grit. Repeat as needed. 4. Sand whole panel with 180 to get rid of sand scratches. 5. Prime panel again 6. Block whole panel with 180. 7. Block whole panel with 320 to make sure there are absolutely 0 sanding scratches. 8. Seal the panel. 9. Paint the panel.

Will do! Thanks!

Thanks, its not in my nice truck yet, so I haven't done the ground upgrades yet.

It would. I'll see about coming up with a video for that one.

This should cover the list of parts that you will need if doing an EXTERNAL SLAVE AX-15. Just ditch the transfer case part.

I have grown up being a GM fan. With the way GM (or should I say gm) has gone the last couple years compared to how Dodge has gone, it is hard to not be a bit of a Dodge/MOPAR fan.

Ok guys, either I'm a little stupid, or I am unlucky. I have 2 trucks with clocks. Neither of the clocks work. To be fair, I haven't checked to see if they are actually plugged in or not, but I just want to make sure that there isn't a way to turn them on. Is there a way to fix the clock if they are broken and don't show the time?

That truck would be just about perfect with some new, shiny paint

I'm not trying to make this thread about you towing with your truck, I swear. Just out of curiosity, I see that you are SOA in the rear, but are your leaf springs otherwise stock? Other than the brakes, how did the truck tow? I know you have a built engine, but I'm asking more about steering and other stuff. Did the trailer have trailer brakes?

This turned out very well! Great job!

Does this truck actually have these things? If so, I need to pull them for my blue truck, just in case.

What help videos should be created for showing how to use features on this site? I have already done creating/editing a signature, editing a post, and uploading pictures. Are there any other videos that should be made?

I missed the D44 part. It will be a decent buy for someone.

I know they all need floors, I just get skeptical when I see someone replaced them and gave up on the project.

A video in case you are still confused.

Be sure to hit save when you are done!
