89 MJ

That would be very cool looking!

Ah yes, I do need to remember that I need to be almost responsible.

A vinyl shop would probably need to custom make them for you.

It certainly would.

Jesse's is an 87, so it was very much AMC still, I think you are probably on to something here.

It would. I think I might have some extra leaf springs from when I did my homemade bastard pack for my blue truck. Then it would probably be sitting right around 2 inches of lift overall. That would be pretty good.

Looks like a pretty good truck to start with. By the way, your grill is upside down. Also, be sure to drop it in the registry if you haven't already.

That's a good idea, I could definitely stretch the bed a little bit. I also have some spring spacers that I could throw in the front of this thing. Ideas, ideas.

Could be dealer installed. I don't know though-obviously.

You bring up a good point like always, I'm just trying to come up with some unique ideas. That's probably what I'd build if I don't use a stock bed. Maybe I should do a military inspired bed...

I think you are right. The bed would still look pretty cool on an MJ.

My thoughts exactly, although, I don't know if I would sell the taillights, it never hurt to have an extra set. Yeah, sometimes my brain is a little richer than my wallet. If I wanted something more practical, I wouldn't be looking at buying a 32 year old truck to drive in the snow. Maybe I could do a stepside too. Here are some different bed ideas I have. 1. Ranger stepside bed, looks OK and could probably get done the quickest, but not the most attractive. 2. Chevy LUV? bed, looks cool, but finding parts would likely be difficult. 3. Flatbed-personally my favorite in this case, I would probably do something similar. I know the picture isn't of an MJ.

That is what I plan to do, but I cannot say for 100% certainty, because I haven't seen the truck yet. If 1 MJ is great, 2 must be better! I am thinking I might sell this bed, but I don't know what I should do to replace it, I don't really want to put rusty parts on, so I might be with a flatbed, but I'm not sure about that look either. I should definitely see if it comes with the original rear flares, that will probably be a large determining factor on what I do with the bed. This is what I am leaning towards, but maybe I go with some high clearance flares and big tires on it I need a truck to wheel too.

Well, it looks like I will be able to go look and (and buy to be honest) that truck tomorrow. I have been told it has a little bit of damage on the left side, but the owner has the parts to fix it, the striker was damaged too (as it was on my formerly white, now blue, truck), and it does have some rust in the floors. Question is, what do I do with it? I would still feel bad about driving a nice, solid bed in the salt, but I will probably rust proof it first.

This is relatedish, but I had my Peugeot and AX-15 next to each other and the AX-15 makes the Peugeot look like a child’s toy.

It’s getting rusty above the wheel openings.

This went from Junkyard talk to “what’s wrong with you? Here is my medical defect”. LOL. Oops

You make a fair point yet again. I was getting at the fact that my truck (although not running right) was pretty much maxed out at 70 mph.

That's a good way to look at it! Plus a little edit for ya.

Nice! I'm a sucker for green Jeeps.

Oof, that sounds miserable.

Price has dropped to $2,500, it looks like a good buy for someone.

I'm sure he will. That's why I'm asking him and not my mother. I know what my mother would say, and its probably not repeatable. That they are! I am willing to put in the extra work to have 2 MJs. I love these trucks. These are good little trucks, I'm definitely going to start hoarding these.

I know. I just hate rust. And I'm allergic to the cold (yep, that's a thing).
