89 MJ

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.

If I remember correctly, it was parked because of rear end damage? Am I correct? I think the reason is in your build thread, I’m just too lazy to go looking.

Good looking truck!

Thank you!

My girlfriend (who is yet to ride in the MJ (but I’ve only been driving it for a few weeks)) is also part of the reason why I keep my bench.

Here is the write up for my rear lift bastard pack/Add-a-Leaf.

So today I took and made a bastard back AAL for my MJ. I took oil a set of 3in XJ lift springs and my set of stock MJ springs to make this happen. The XJ lift springs had the same arch as the MJ springs, so I think this could be done with 2 sets of MJ springs as well. 1. Take 3rd leaf from top off XJ lift springs 2. Cut end off 1/4 of an inch inside (closer to the center) of the spring from the bracket that holds all of the springs together. (U-shaped braket near ends of spring) 3. Remove centering pin nut. (pin that goes in to hole in spring perch on axle) 4. Remove overload spring on MJ leaf pack. 5. Put cut XJ spring and Overload spring on. Overload on the bottom, XJ spring on top of that. 6. Put centering pin but back on (pin that goes in to hole in spring perch on axle). You should be able to reuse your stock one safely. 7. Reattach spring plates and u-bolts. This is needs to be done with the truck up in the air. Also, I found this made the ride better and the truck feels way more stable. I already had 3in lift springs in the front to make it sit level. I wanted some rake, so I did this. It is kinda hard to see inmpucs, but... Before: After:

Bastard pack done in the rear.

Sorry to hear that.

We got the meta work on the front fenders done. Now it will match the half ton rear fenders.

Be sure to check under the carpet for rust! What are your plans for it?

The logos on that are sweet. Do you plan on trying to preserve the patina after fixin the A pillar and roof?
