89 MJ

This picture and @eaglescout526's Little Red are why I want a LWB truck.

Fresh Stroked 4.0 or LS?

Looks like a nice, uncut truck. Sliding rear window and vent windows too. It would looks like it would be a great truck to restore, but I would put on nice OEM flares and a front bumper and drive it. And those headlights would have to go.

Keep it. He basically wasted 3 of your hours, plus fuel for test driving it, told you he was going to buy it, and now decided against it.

Definitely cleaned up the looks and made it look classier. I like it.

Looks like a pretty good starting point. @Pete M, is this the right place or should it be moved?

Thanks for the update! I’m looking forward to getting mine for sure!

Someone has an idiot friend.

It’s morning and I have no patience. Let’s see it!

Can’t complain about that! I’ve got a funny alternator story about my Comanche. Last summer, right as we were finishing my truck and I got my driving permit. I was driving it around and realized that the alternator crapped the bed. Fine, I called the local parts stores, none of them could get it until Saturday morning, but I had to be at a car show by 10:00 Saturday morning. So, I was at the parts store when it opened to get my alternator in for he car show.

We were getting my brothers orange J10 and wild we waited for mom and dad to come with the trailer. We saw these people trying to move an older piece of farm equipment (don’t remember what), so we jumped in to help as they were older. Moving it I tweaked my back just a little. A week later, when I was almost back to 100% I sneezed and was screwed up again.

Old. Tubo or supercharged?

Thanks! Us midwesterners should get together sometime next year in the spring or something.

That’s not very original, Minuit. Just giving you a hard time. Safety comes first.

This is what I’m leaning towards, although a camper has more room and I wouldn’t need to strip the back of the bed every time I want to use it as a truck. I should just buy a second one to camp in. Now you’re thinking. Big brain right here.

True story, I’m allergic to the cold. If I go outside and it is sub 50 and raining or sub 40 and dry, I will break out and I itch really bad once I warm up. It looks like a bunch of mosquito bites on my face, legs, arms, and hands. Back to the game.

Painted and going back together.

Any updates?

What you were saying makes sense, plus, when you get the MJ up to the house, you will have 2 vehicles to drive so you don't need to worry about being perfect mechanically (although it is nice).

Those Icons should make your ZJ look extra classy. I'm excited to see it.

Count your blessings I guess.

Maybe chop out the spot of the frame where the front of the leaf springs mounts for people with rusty frames.

Jeeping But hiking if I had to choose Superbird or Daytona?

Any more updates on the truck?
