  1. Love the truck and the build, but are you really going to run that front bumper? Just from that picture, it looks too wide and not up to the same quality as the rest of the truck. I'm not trying to be rude or insulting, especially if you built it. Maybe welding the front bend fully and grinding it smooth would give it more of a professional look. I'm eager to see the interior completed.
  2. The teeth were fubar'd on my 92. Cleaning it did nothing for me.
  3. I'll say it for you again; I thought about running air bags in the rear, replacing the leafs, but I couldn't see a way to do it that would give me a drop of over 4" without modifying the bed or "frame" rails. The stacked beam axle thing on the Worlds Fastest Comanche is, in my opinion, a very bad idea and its poorly executed too. Without front axle modification you're limited to around a 2" drop. With front axle modification you can hit 3-4" of drop. If you want to lower your MJ anymore than that, you're looking at a very involved and complicated project involving unibody modification and designing new suspension systems front and rear. There is no kit for any of this. Several people including myself have modified front beam axles to allow for a lower ride height, but there is no kit.
  4. No. Did you even read what I wrote?
  5. If you have to ask that question, then this probably isn't the project for you. An MJ is a very difficult vehicle to lower. A solid axle up front, very wide "frame" rails, and a really tall motor make lowering this truck a real nightmare. Plus zero aftermarket support for lowering an XJ or MJ. All the work I did to the front axle got me about 1.5" lower than if I didn't do it. A 2" drop is about all you could do without relocating your control arms. Even then you would have to leave your bumpstops at factory height so your passenger upper didn't contact the oil pan. Which would leave you ~1" of up travel. I'm down about 3.5" and have about 2.5" of up travel thanks to all the axle modifications. I would have really liked to lower the truck a lot more but any further would require MAJOR modifications to the unibody and bed. I didn't want to modify the body or spend that kind of time and money on this truck.
  6. What a stupid Jeep. I was excited to see a long-wheelbase YJ but its just a stock YJ with a halfcab top. Booo.
  7. Yeah that's the only line a mild rig can make these days. 4-5 years ago I was able to walk to face in an MJ on 35s. But now the face is too dug out for anything running a tire smaller than 38". My LJ on the same line.
  8. I do not. I just went into Napa and had them lookup a pair that were about 3" shorter on the compressed length.
  9. I actually tried to buy that Jeep over a year ago for $5000, but the kid was a total flake and was acting real shady.
  10. I've owned 2 Optima Red Top batteries. Both were garbage. My LJ came with a Blue Top, and I love it. It's the best battery I've ever owned. Conventional batteries, I like Die Hard and Napa's house brand.
  11. Tapatalk. It's easier than any web browser. Screenshot.
  12. I love you buddy.
  13. Where did you get the iPod adapter for that deck? I have the same deck but don't have the nav disks either so I really haven't been impressed with it.
  14. I let a friend pull a few sensors to test against his to help pinpoint his throttle issues. This is how he left my engine bay; FML
  15. I like it, and would totally drive it.
  16. My lowrider, my buddy Eric's wheeler, and mulipurposemj's rig.
  17. I do have a TJ though. TJ Unlimited aka LJ.
  18. I'm guessing you're about 16. You're responsible for the safety of all occupants in your vehicle. Keep that in mind next time.
  19. Meet TJ She'd been begging me for a Pug for about 8 years now. I finally caved, but the only stipulation was that I got to name him. So now we have a cat named MJ and a dog named TJ.
  20. What is current scrap value? That thing is done.
  21. I did that once. Left a screwdriver under the hood and it shredded my serpentine belt.
