89 MJ

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!

I kinda figured that was the plan, just wanted to see if you had any other plans for it.

Already been taken care of. Could these threads be merged though?

Shouldn't this thread be called "Brake upgrades - stop with this"? Sorry, I'll see myself out.

Any updates on this?

It now is solid fuel lines and he took some headlights out of a 97 header panel that I had, so it now has headlights that aren't busted out.

Dad did get different wheels for it mounted up. I shall try to take pictures next time I am out there (probably tonight)

Added, thank you

That makes sense. I definitely agree with waiting to see how it wheels first.

Also, do you have any complaints with the stroker?

OK, that's not that far then. I still wouldn't do it. If you wanted a shorter truck, I would post that truck for sale once you get the tail lights and turn signals working and try to find a short bed. There are quite a few people on here that would rather have a long bed over a short bed for usability.
