SW86

i could see how it would weaken the unibody a little without the door there but i wouldnt think it was enough to "do" anything serious :dunno: if anybody wants pics/info on how to do it while the doors are still on. id be glad to help. its pretty straight forward but with the doors being on throws a little curve ball at you. you have to cut underneath the hinge you are cutting off cause theres a little lip where the hinge goes on the door. put about four or five cuts in that so when you beat the hinge part down it'll break those and slide on out. id also recommend (for dremel) the re-enforced cutting wheels or at least the bigger cutting wheels to get all the way through it. once you think you've got it, i took a small flathead screw driver first and tapped it inbetween the bottom of the hinge and the hinge part where id been cutting to get it down a bit. then a bigger flathead to widen, finally going to my punches to knock it the rest of the way off. when your cutting, cut as far through as you can get (its tight in there), directly go to using the flathead or hitting it down (whichever your to first) while the metal is still warm from cutting. this will help break whatever little piece you can't get through. i think i might of once got all the way through it but more then not there was still a little piece i couldnt get through all the way. youll pretty much figure it out as you go. its not rocket science but i figure my steps might help others, so why not post it :smart: also i threw in grease in the holes and put the doors on and off two or three times just to make it easier to do it. it really helped A LOT because i tried the first time without grease :eek: oh yeah i used a floor jack and length of wood to pop the door out the first time. really saved my back. tools i used: small flathead, big flathead, alignment punch, two pound mallet, dremel 4000, re-enforced cut-off wheels, beer and loud classic rock.

just did this mod and its easy as hell. took me about an hour and a half to do both sides. looks and feels great but a seatbelt is called for on the serious stuff or you'll go rolling out! :shake: poser pics

yup. the CJ8/scrambler was it. one day i will have mine too 8)

havent really been keeping up with this tread but look what i stumbled across on youtube damn tj!

i was just wondering that. ive got a single piece shaft and wanted to put it in my CAD axle but didnt know if it would work as a straight swap :dunno:

its a fine line but i think after that statement you take the cake :yes: :shake: or mazda is a rebadged ford :dunno: either way it had to be done and it hadnt reached the point of using my maxima........it was damn close though :rotf: terrible, terrible trucks IMO, at least his four banger is

haha i was wondering if that was coming. its a mazda so its the fords cousin. so its murky water there but i think I'm good :D it barely did the job

with a little prying and pulling it popped back down not as big a deal i thought it was last night but then again i wasnt in the right state of mind :cheers: thanks everybody!

I'm worthless to you on your issue but i still want to come see those MJs!! you live so close its hard not to want to :nuts:

snapped a pic right when i got home ill give a few things a looking over while I'm under there for sure. thanks guys :thumbsup:

sure it gave it more lift and does ride like hell but it looks cool (on one side) lol. there isnt a frame lift around here close. there are several regular lifts though. i was thinking using a fork lift to lift up that side till its off the ground and maybe pry it down then but i don't know :dunno: edit: wait there is a guy with one but he's a huge a$$hole and would prolly charge an arm and leg. still, ill ask

i felt like a little offroading while cruisin some gravel. found some really deep washouts and went in. flexy as hell but i made it. upon driving off my drivers side was sagging bad! got out, saw the damn shackle on the pass side had flipped inward on me. ive tried flexing it out all the way on some off camber stuff and pulling down on it with a chain but nothing. i know there has to be some serious pressure going on there and I'm not about to start unbolting s**t :eek: any thoughts, ideas, suggestions welcome. i need to get this fixed asap

damn i don't know. i kind of like them but kind of don't. it keeps the red/black theme going thats one thing i do know lol

thats been around a lil while. makes me sick everytime I'm tricked into viewing it :fs1:

sawed off. sure it might be illegal but the blast alone would scare someone a mile away. better yet just get a short barrel 12 gauge and throw a pistol grip on it (that might be illegal too). so pretty much just ignore everything i just said LOL. as for the AK, nice score! ive been looking at picking up a AR-15 but spend all my money on the Mj. i think my 9mm, 44, 20 gauge or 45 has me covered though. now,,,,,,post pics!!

well today i made some flat flares out of some crazy material at work for the toyota my boss drives and man, it looked so f*ckin good i think i WILL buy a pair if they fit fine on a Mj :yes:

I'm no stoner but the mood hits me sometimes. and hey at least its not coke or meth like the majority of america is on edit: well the majority of america is smoking up too :yes:

I'm just gonna go on and say it. don't tell me I'm the only one who got high today? i figured hell, why not. :chillin:

nice ride but one thing that always kills me is people putting your grill in upside down!! it looks so freakin ugly that way! whats the deal with the other Mj?

in the least take off the Mj specific parts

bummer but at least your landings won't be so rough lol

:doh: and then :thumbsup:

looks like there were a few other cool cars under there as well. hope they got rescued and not katrina'd :shake:

why did you mount your LCAs upside down? good f*ckin build tho man :popcorn:

me too. ive found one but a little worried on how it will turn out. i know someone has done it on here before, just have to dig through some threads to find it i guess.
