89 MJ

Why do you want rear discs?

Right!!!!???!!

That’s probably what is going to happen though. I just wish I had one to use in the winter so I’m not stuck driving my parents vehicles.

Yeah, most of my spending money get put towards my rigs though.

Fair enough. I spend 99% KD my money on 2 things. My MJ and my Bolenses. I think we are.

I know! I’ll probably get one in the spring.

That works too.

You are all terrible influences!! I love it!

I've been fighting this battle internally for a few months now. I almost bought a 92 Eliminator as a winter beater, but the frame had broken and was "repaired" terribly. They just welded steel over the rust. It was rusty all the way under the cab on the frame. It was bad news bears. If it hadn't been "repaired", I'd have probably bought it and fixed the frame and added frame stiffeners to drive in the winter.

Nice! It is so close. I'll be it is killing you to not have it driveable yet.

Woah, who are you? STRANGER DANGER!!!! STRANGER DANGER!!!! LOL Glad you're back man!

I have found myself looking for more MJs lately. This is not good. I should not be doing this. I don't need more. But I like them. They are fun. I don't know if I can go months without driving mine. What am I going to do? AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm not crazy, you're crazy! I'm not crazy, right?

How does the MJ seem so far?

Take one bed and make it a camper, that way you don't need to covert your other trailer all of the time.

Have you worked on this anymore since September?

It looks like a fairly well optioned truck, based off of what I am seeing. Chrome bumpers, sliding rear window, and bed light.

Any updates on this beast?

I just sent him a PM to see if we can get an update. This will be a very cool build. It is something that I have thought about taking on, and still may at some point.

This thing is pretty well loaded.

Interesting. So Longbed (non MTs) must have the same GVWR as the short bed, which I would then think means that the longbeds would have a lower payload capacity than a shortbed because they weigh more.

Any chance we could get this one moved to the correct year, @Pete M? It is an 89.

Gotcha. Thanks

I have a quick question. 89 has 4 GVWRs. I would assume there is the shortbed GVWR, the longbed GVWR, and the Metric Ton GVWR, but what would the 4th be? Were the GVWRs different for 4x4s? Does it have something to do with the engine? Manual vs Auto? Steel wheels vs Aluminium wheels?

Looks great! Thank you for doing this!
