Don't know if the link will work since it's in a group; https://www.facebook.com/groups/356382271074218/permalink/3336082599770822/?sale_post_id=3336082599770822

Ha, yes! Didn't think about this! I will eventually want some for a Comanche bed trailer as well!

@rylee144 sent me a PM on another set; five turbines but no caps; $100. Do you want the link? It's in Washington.

Thanks for posting them, JMO!

Sorry brother; was able to convince my dad to take a 3 hour road trip to snag them, haha. They are SOLD.

Man, I really should hassle one of my family members to snag those for me.

A solid investment for all sorts of MJ (and Chunk) videos! You've seen much I use mine just with the MJ. Also for the TJ and my pup, Ruca!

You need a GoPro! 😎

Been doing some small stuff here and there, but 'rona has taken some of my wallet and motivation to work on the MJ. Today I finally got around to pulling these hideously large Hella lights from the front, and man does she look better already (even with two large holes in the bumper). Also looking to check the rear axle u-bolts for proper torque as the rear end has a rattle somewhere and I can't exactly pinpoint it. Also checking front steering linkage as I still have a mild popping noise that is occuring in turns. And lastly going to try to get this damn belt tight once and for all.

The NOS tires caught my eye, and then reading the rest really stuck with me. This is next level! Just found this very cool.

Damn this build is sick. Definitely motivating me to get back at it with mine. Are you throwing a roof top tent on that bed platform?

32x11.5 with 4.5" lift.

Watching you guys talk about altering the SWB roll bar to fit a long bed makes me want to just take up this other guy on his $650-$700 LWB roll bar. (Not really though.)

Woo!

I could have swore I had my sig setup, but now that you mention it, I haven't seen it on any of my posts. My bad. '86 2.5l

Sidebar: can anyone tell me the size of this bolt? Mine seems to have walked off site. 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, any help would be great. All though I believe from what I've found thus far, I think replacing the rear bearing is rather difficult? Not entirely sure, hence this post. Hoping to generate some traffic to see if there

I was just curious if there's a simple fix to an alternator squeal? With my belt off, I can simply turn the alternator by hand and get it to squeal. Never dealt with pulley replacement, and looking at the alternator specifically, don't know if it's more in-depth than say the power steering pump pulley.

I think the most annoying part of watching that argument unfold was the other guy saying he trusts what he encounters himself, not taking into account that axles are swapped all the time.

While we did snag the tow hooks with the brackets, we forgot to pull the sway bar and something else I think...oh, the damn power steering bracket. My '86 only has the alternator bracket adjuster, not the PS adjuster for the belt.

Since getting mine in 2018, I've only seen one or two (with the one instance being the only time seeing them) on the road besides mine in San Diego, and know of another that is for sale in the SD area, as well as three that are at the local Jeep graveyard aka Hard Rock 4x4. Those three are not in the graveyard itself, and are operational; I believe one is the work truck. That being said, they also claim that there are a bunch of people looking for MJ parts from them; where the hell are the MJs then?!

You finally snagged those Huggies I see!

Hot damn is it awesome to finally have a sway bar! OEM 28mm sway bar with Rough Country (#1128) sway bar links, and Energy poly bushings and brackets. Had to go pick up the bolts to mount, and ouch, $11 for 4 bolts. Don't lose those bolts! For reference for anyone that needs them; M10x1.5x30. Anyways, she drives like a brand new truck! It's unreal! I had popping underneath that I thought was a shot steering box (PO also assumed this) and when I threw the bar on, seemed to re-align things to run just right. I ordered drop brackets because it definitely sits a little too close to the coils. Still waiting on those. So stoked!

What a coincidence! I just happen to be taking a road trip up to WA for some parts and just happen to be in those neck of the woods then! Ha I am driving up from San Diego to pull that Waggy front clip you sent me a link to from Elma. Should be pulling sometime between the 14th - 16th.

Got to try the ol' ball joint trick for the last bolt holding the toolbox down. It revealed a secret; not a factory bed liner! I'm digging the long bed look without the toolbox, though. Now to find a factory roll bar...
