I dealt with all that same crap on my bronze truck doing front floor pans. Previous owners suck lol. good looking truck though. I love seeing new oldschool decal/paint themes. I have a whole album on my phone I save them to everytime I spot a new one I’ve never seen. -

I had some used tubular upper and lower arms as well as some control arm drop brackets I got from a friend when I bought his 92 mj shell. So I installed all of those and a coil spacer to level out the truck and improve the ride. Definitely need all new shocks at some point to make it ride even better. I flexed it out for the first time in a ditch by my home. This is around 4” of lift and 35s -

Thanks lol. Yeah I just haven’t had the free time or funds to deal with those things. Hopefully soon I can have a brand new shaft made the right length -

Installed my new heavy load leaf packs awhile ago. It raised the truck atleast 2” Still have not figured out my temp gauge not working. still need a proper rear driveshaft and to raise the front end some more. -
Love it. I was originally planning to build a flat bed for my 2nd 87 shortbed but things have changed and I will probably end up selling it in a couple years or less. I may still build one of sorts for my bobbed 1992 long bed project 😁

I’ve still been driving it a bit. I repaired the remaining rocker and cab corner. Replaced my trac bar tierod. I have not gotten a new driveshaft yet. Hopefully I can afford one this month. Still no working temp gauge. It’s not the cluster. I have no idea why it won’t work at this point. I did buy some new leaf packs second hand that I need time to install yet. -

Current list of things I need to do: Figure out my temp gauge problem Repair the passenger side rocker and cab corner Replace my trac bar tierod end or change the whole trac bar entirely While I’m doing that I will add a small coil spacer to level out the truck some. I'm still running a xj rear driveshaft, it’s about 2” shorter than I’d like, so I need to get a proper length driveshaft built or modified. -

Recently had to rebuild the front end due to terrible death wobble when I tried to adjust the alignment properly and found out all my balljoints were shot. I ended up replacing all the balljoints, axle shafts with cv style, and v8 zj tierod upgrade. found out most of my hub bolts were junk, had to weld nuts to two of them, so I replaced those as well. -

Thanks. Still more to do but I’ve been driving it for a few months but recently discovered all my balljoints are actually bad so I’ll be ordering those tonight as well as some cv axle shafts to throw in while it’s all apart -

Nothing new for now. Haven’t had much free time. I do still need to figure out why my temperature gauge doesn’t work, have a new rear driveshafts made to be 2” longer, and my brakes are still soft when running but work well enough to daily drive it. -

I’ve been driving it to work for a couple weeks now. Brakes still aren’t right but good enough to drive it. My other issue I have going on is my temperature gauge doesn’t read at all. It cycles when starting the Jeep and I’ve replaced both temp sensors on it and no change. Next when I have time I’ll try another gauge cluster and see if it’s the gauge that’s the problem. As far as I know all my grounds are good
