Schweet lookin ride! welcome! :cheers: what took ya so long to join! :huh???: now get rid of the 35! :thwak:

i wish i had something like the Toy or flattie but this does a good job fer me , and it was only like 150 er 180$

:agree: With dirty, mjcolton, and jeepco

I don't have any pics of under the bumper but i will get some and none of it off the truck . the bumper is welded to the truck via some 2x2 1/4 angle steel and 1 1/2 flate bar on either side of the reciever . when i made i wanted some thing stout and a little diffrent than the norm at the time , i hate square tube and C-chanel bumpers with the ends in a 45 degree cut or no cut at all . to me thats nothn but a shovel hanging off the back. i know caus i ripped my smittybuilt off on a rock crushing the lower portion of the 1/4 panel on the passenger side and messing up my tailgate after that sheet metal got cut and i made the bumper. as for the cost I'm not sure . i paid nothn fer the steel (front or back bumpers) caus i built them at a budies work who is an iorn worker and his boss said i could build what ever i wanted

Ya iv thought about it more and more but not enuf time lately but one day il wip up some bumpers . by the by i got the manche smogged today and it passed so as soon as i get the tags il be DD n it , at least for a little wile , no sense in tearn up the swampers when i can tear up my rubicon :banana: :evil:

The rear bumper is made of 2x4 1/4 wall , 2in recever and D rings and 1 1/2 pipe sliders that the rear portion of the EXO r gona conect to when i get around to building it.

I like ur idea rockhard , don't know why i didnt think of that . and its not white its beige sorry to dissapoint ya.

Well i finaly got it moving under its own power the other day and drove it around work to make sure it all works just gota button up a few things then go get it smoged .also got my new power steering pully as my buddy wile trying to help , droped my pump and bent the pully. then i decided to take a couple of wannabe shots , that and i havent flexed it out much yet i think i need to lengthn the front lines a bit, any body know of a longer front lines these are the RE 22'' lines. and my JCR OTK steering should be in on friday and hopefuly il get it on over the weekend

WAY to far foward by a mile , hope u aint runing it like that :eek:

that thing is awsome , i want one but it does seem long but a good sized lift and some 33s or 35 it would be more likeable

:agree: POST IT

9 years ago a verry good friend past away and left me the mj , thats how i got mine and and itl be with me to the day i die then my kid gets it.

Ya its big i lifted it 9in to tuck 38-12.50-15 tsl or now maby an irock ,its runing on 33-12.50-15 tsl caus i didnt know how the 2.8 was gona like the new goodies i put on it (lift and stuff)but the little 2.8 did ok for about 100 miles, so ill be trying out a set of 38-14.50-15 thornbirds a budy gave me just to see.

Hey rockhound whos the one with a size issue?

poking on youtube and stumbled across this enjoy http://youtube.com/watch?v=kBjUDCyDCuI& ... ed&search=

well figure its about time i post up my own dern project. as of right now the goal is to get it runing then fix all the little stuff. the list: .put on new large valve heads .hydro boost upgrade .OTK 1 ton steering .build/swap rubi 44 .rear shocks .build exo and partial front trugy it .and something els... hears a couple of pics of it so far, this is what i had to start with the timing chain almost fell off in my hand, their was about 5/8in of play so it was replaced , u can see the difference in length in this pic here's a couple of other pics of the truck and one of me snaping a photo u know ur throwing ur money away when u measure the piston to cylinder wall gap with a tape measure ,and on a 2.8 no less.

ya more chevy than ford just like dem old ford hotrods ;)

I love toyotas they are beefy as hell , great all around truck . but ur right pong many of the owners , specialy the hardcore guys think they are better than us jeep guys. iv never been to the con but i hear thats what its like, alota toy vs jeep bs . iv even seen guys stuck fer hours just caus they don't want a tug from the oposing vehicle , idont care who pulls me out as long as i get out.

looks good but tell him to sell that to a guy with a toyota pickup and build one that fits the manche, to narrow/short and dosnt follow the body lines. !!WHERES THE BEEF!!

What kinda problems ? i took mine to bare steel 3 years ago and its holdn up just fine.

pong ur right they are the largest growing ethnic group in the us . I'm not tryn to bash anyone for the lack of education, but for the lack of effort. u say u learned "their" language from having to live it , so what would u say their excuse is , they live here why can't they learn a bit to get them by at the parts store and what not? also tell me this how much did it cost u to learn spansh ? and i do live in a big city where a very large portion of the population is hispanic (next time ur at the grocery store look at the lettuce and i about guarente it will say Salinas on the back of the bag) and when uv seen some of the stuff that goes on here u might better understand were I'm coming from . and yes there are areas here were people have lived for 20+ years and don't speak english, my best frends grand parents are a prime example of that.

well that answers my previous ? don't look half bad :popcorn:

jeepco u need another spare part like i need a hole in the head , wich reminds me u ever install the wagy stuf u already got :roll: not to hyjack the thread just curious

who said anything about an opinion but ok enuf is enuf

accomplished: tore the heads off / timin cover /timing chain /oilpan etc.. on saturday and sunday it was almost ready to run just gota button up a few tings an wer good procrastinated: beer drinkn and yard work :nuts: all n all some what productive
