89 MJ

Thank you! I am wishing I didn't put the front bumper on though. I hate that I cut the front fenders.

I am jealous of that spot welder!

I do believe that we are planning a Pow-Wow at the All Breeds Jeep Show if you want to change your plans. I understand not wanting to though.

Thank you!

I would love to go to that show, but I am not sure if I will be able to make it. My family is wanting to go to the All Breeds Jeep Show in Carlisle PA, which is July 24th and 25th.

Do you by chance have a link to the event? I should be able to get my Comanche there and I think my brother wants to have one of his J10s at the show.

Bump, does anyone have anything to add to this?

That's right, I've heard of this show. I want to go next summer. Maybe we can do a Pow Wow then?

I love them both except for blue interior. I HATE blue interior. Good choices otherwise.

That would be pretty sweet.

Fair enough.

If we want to do something in the spring, I'm sure we could put something together at my parent's house. We have 6 mowed acres. We are on the Mississippi in SW WI. We do have some nice scenery out by us. I have thought of putting a show together for MJs, XJs, FSJs, ZJs, CJs, and YJs. I have nothing against any of the newer Jeeps, but I think including them would result in a complete takeover. I don't want to walk around and look at a bunch of JKs.

I'll play. I would not swap a 242 in an MJ, I would just stick with the stock 231 and here is why. Let's say hypothetically that you are driving along in AWD and your vehicle starts sliding. You try to correct it, but you're now parked in the ditch and you are stuck. You probably won't be able to get out using 4wd because you put it in there in 4wd. If you ditch it in 2wd you might have a fighting chance of using 4wd to get you out. Also, with AWD, by the time you lose traction, it will probably be too late to recover. Just my 2 cents. With all of that said, if I needed a T-case and I found a 242 before I found a 231, I would still get it and just run it in 2wd.

Nope, completely worthless. I can take it off of your hands for disposal though! Yes, it is a pretty valuable diff. Is it for an MJ, an XJ, or something else?

This thing would be perfect with a solid axle in the front and an AX-15

We got most of the parts from Super Scout, and I have to say, they were some of the best patch panels I've ever worked with. The parts are made using the old IH dies.

Sweet! My buddy, his dad, me, and my dad put new floors and quarter on their Scout II this spring!

My MJ in the summer and my dad lets me use his work truck in the winter (for this year while I save funds for a winter beater).

I couldn’t imagine that water. That would be awful. We went to Camp Parsons our on the Olympic Penninsula of WA and that water was freezing too. I’m sure it had nothing on Alaska though.

Thank you! I am hoping to get the building part of the project done before my 17th Birthday.

I am not OA nor do I have the Vigil Honor, but I have been working on my Eagle Scout project. Hopefully my last workday on it will be in the next few weeks.

That’s cool! The last 2 are the best.

It was very cool. And to see it from our house made it even cooler.

This does sound like a fairly profitable endeavor. Sadly, I don’t foresee it happening any time soon.
