  1. I wouldn’t trim. I would do a lift. You should get by with just getting a front spring spacer.
  2. The Chevy COE buildthread has pics with an explanation.
  3. That is why, in order to build a crew cab Comanche, one should use an MJ afoot as the rear door as well and cut the top front section off of an CJ door. That would make everything line up correctly.
  4. Looks great!
  5. Are you getting spark?
  6. The only time my truck is inside is in the winter, when it needs work, and if it is going to storm bad. I think lots of the other trucks are outside even more than mine.
  7. I would keep the 5 leaf pack if I were you. The added capacity is definitely worth it. The AAL amaze my truck drive and ride MUCH better because of the stiffer springs. Plus, with the softer springs, you won’t be able to tow/haul as much. If you can’t tow/haul, there isn’t much point of having a truck.
  8. Part of your spring stiffness could be your shocks. They might be bent or just two stiff. Pete and I both have 5 pack leafs and I for sure am happy with the amount of flex I have. Try jacking it up with your shocks attached (towards the outside of the axle, maybe under the leaf sting plate), then do it without the shocks. If your shocks are bent, then it will not flex as much, which could contribute to a stiffer ride.
  9. I see he is SOA rear. I’m not sure on the details on the front lift.
  10. The only rear suspension mod is an Add a Leaf which will reduce some travel. I also need longer shocks. This was at max flex with the front sway bar attached. I don’t know you will ever need more travel in the rear than what there was stock. If I were to change the rear suspension setup other than changing the shackle/spring packs, I would just 4 link it.
  11. He did the conversion. It looks more like a 97 and then people won’t get confused about which of his MJs he’s talking about.
  12. Not buy me. Nobody wants them up here. Most of our local Jeep dealership has been the same JTs for months.
  13. It will be a daily driver/show/work truck. No different than any of our old vehicles. They are meant to be used. I will I’ll get some pictures of the engine compartment next time we are out there.
  14. Haven’t you seen the Twisted Tea fight video?
  15. Depending on what the cost would be, I might be interested. I need to do something with my bench, but a Raybuck cover is kinda blah.
  16. Not cheap, but worth it. Now you have me wanting to redo my interior
  17. Definitely A
  18. Yes, your local paint shop should be able to look it up or have a paint chip of it in an old book.
  19. I know a guy who would trade a Colorado red 88 Pioneer with a 3 inch lift and an AX-15 for a metric ton MJ...
  20. I’ll try
  21. Some snow moving action for all of you. That’s my little brother (13) plowing with my newest of the two. Tonight was the first time operating a snowplow, but he had fun and learned a lot.
  22. It has
