89 MJ

This will be a pretty cool build!

When's the Hemi swap?

Check out the WI-MN-IA members post I made in the Great Lakes section. I get the feeling that may be a little to far for you to go though.

Pull up the carpet and check your floors for rust first. Don't get discouraged if they are rusty, most of us have had rusty floors in our MJs before. As said by Tim, get yourself a Renix Engine Monitor, seriously, it will be a lifesaver. Check out the link in my signature for a write up on the 3ish inch lift that I did on my blue MJ (see my profile picture or cover photo if you view my account). You could pick up 2 inch spring spacers and do an Add-A-Leaf like what I did in the link in my signature pretty cheap. Add some WJ Grand Cherokee lower control arms, and you will be able to clear 31s easily. Welcome to the addiction!

Or Pete could create a channel and we could put tech tips, MJ wheeling adventures, PowWows, etc on there.

@mark 39, let’s see some pictures! I’m near La Crosse, where are you?

Those things are sexy beasts.

Next time I’m your way I might need to look you up. What is the largest building you can build in your county?

CC Barn Raising anyone?

Looks pretty straight too.

As of now, I am thinking that we should be planning something for late May/early June.

Must be the same truck then. I couldn't tell if it was filler or not from the pictures, but looked on the thicker side. Either way, looks like it will be a good driver.

Any updates on the truck, Brent?

Looks like a nice truck. Is this the truck that I had posted in the not my crap section of the classifieds? It should have a spot where the body filler is flaking off and there is rusting bare metal on the roof.

I know nothing about merch. That said, what is defined as "cheap" when it comes to merch?

Agreed, it doesn't need to be something huge like a bumper or lift springs (although those would be very cool), but something along the lines of a shirt, a magnet, X% off of a purchase coupon, etc.

When looking to buy an MJ, be sure to look at the condition of the body, check for rust and bodyfiller. These are 29 year old trucks at the youngest, so hidden damage is very possible.

I think this is a great idea, it would give people more of an incentive to "apply" for MJOTM. Are you thinking that each month would get a prize or would a group of people go through the MJOTM threads every couple of months and pick out a winner from those? Also, are you talking about CC vendors or are you thinking that we should reach out to other vendors too? (Azzy's design, maybe get a coupon for Rusty's off road, etc), or a combination of both? Like I said, I love this idea, just trying to wrap my head around it a little bit more.

That’s the one I want to get when I can sell my current red truck.

It’s hard to beat the simplicity of the old CJs.

Ooooooooo, that would be a fun rig. Dang near unkillable too.

Those sound like some fun choices. Sounds like a bunch of vehicles that would all be pleasant to drive.

Both of those sound like fun garages!

I love learning about engines. Do you know some of the science behind this? If so, please explain.
