89 MJ

@eaglescout526, what color is your XJ interior?

That’s nice. The nearest MJ owner on here is about 45 minutes away from me.

First off, I would like to point out that there is a right way and a wrong way to do everything. That said, the right way is going to be way more time consuming and expensive, but you probably won’t need to do it again. The info from my rocker swap is on page two of my build thread. I would also also look at what @Dzimmhas done with his 92 rocker replacement. It has been done well too. His has been done on page 4 and his rockers were pretty bad.

Thank you The bumper is a DIY kit from Amazon. It cost be about $170 shipped to my door. It is made by an electric bike company. Ecotric if I remember correctly.

31s will fit on stock wheels with no lift, however here is mine with a 3 inch lift on 31s. It flexes really well and only rubs on the LCAs.

If you haven’t yet, add it to the registry, you can get a mostly correct build sheet when you do. What are your long term plans with the truck?

It looks like your grille is upside down in the last picture.

Sorry, not exactly revolving about the moral of the story, but congrats on the new truck! Also, from the little bit I know about you from this forum, I’m surprised you bought a new truck. Why did you decide to do it now and not wait to see if there would be one that was almost new but used in a few months should money get tight for some people and they needed to sell it?

Looks purdy

Excellent!

Post up a VIN and you can get a mostly correct build sheet!

Oh my goodness @eaglescout526, that Frosted Flake chicken was amazing. It was better than Chick-Fil-A, and I love Chick-Fil-A! It was a hit for the whole family. I’m making the leftovers tomorrow’s breakfast. Thanks for sharing! (I was trying to prep it in a hurry and some of the breading fell off because yolk got in the flakes).

Sweet!

I like spicy food, so here is my recipe. Buffalo Chicken Sandwich 1. Cook and Shred Chicken 2. Mix chicken with Alfredo sauce and Buffalo sauce. The oranger the sauces are combined, the spicier it will be! 3. Put inside a Bagette 4. Put in oven at 350 degrees until Bagette starts to get brown on edges. Enjoy!

We only had breasts at home. I’m excited to give them a shot. My mother thought it was hilarious that we have a CC Cookbook!

Is this your MJ @500 MJ?

Alright @eaglescout526, I’m giving the Frosted Flake chicken a shot.

That’s my dream MJ right there.

31s with stock wheels

I’m going to need to try this. Thanks.

Please elaborate!

Also, a 3inch lift looks great on these trucks. I wouldn’t go much bigger for road use.

To add on to this, Dana 44s are good up to 37 inch tires. If yours is going to primarily used for road driving, I wouldn’t go with a D60. A short arm arm isn’t going to give you a lot of flex for this truck and it will be hard to get enough caster to prevent death wobble. You could piece together a lift a lift relatively cheap and easily too. Also, a Ford 8.8 is a great heavy duty rear end for these trucks that is the same width as a stock rear end.

Are you willing to cut the body?

Nope. It’s been there for years.
