I just did my bedsides back in the Fall, I cut out the "shelf" on both sides so mud won't be able 2 sit up there again, i also POR-15 the back of both new panels, Should be good for a good while now. Love the Hankooks also, Theyre great tires!

Already ahead of ya :yes: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=20322

That was Sweet!

As long as its in between the 2 lines on either side of 210 is considered reasonable i always thought, but it normally should just be 2 the left of the 210 mark :thumbsup:

Found the Yahoo group mid 2005 than joined here around september 05....Love it here and love my Jeeps!

The housings cost a mear $16 from Advance Auto (and likely any other parts store) just replace it and don't overtighten it this time, lol :thumbsup:

Are those custom built? If not where can i get some!

There was a house that had a nice forest Green SWB MJ out front for a few years, i was maybe 10-12 and I always told my dad (who owned a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep Dealership till Aug. 08) I wanted a Jeep truck like that, He looked at that 1 for me but it needed more work than it was worth. In 2002 when i was 15 a man traded a Base model MJ in at the dealer for $400, Dad made a deal with me that he would get it road worthy if i helped the body shop sand it down and get it ready for new paint. Some suspension and body work and i had myself a nice 88 4.0 Auto SWB for my 1st vehicle. Got my license in september 2003 and have been driving it since. It recieved 1 of the final 3 4.0 crate engines from chrysler in 2005 and ive gone from a simple High school kid to a certified Jeep mechanic. Its still holding strong after alot more work and mods and currently sits at approx. 185000 miles (motor @ 45000). I plan to keep it forever! :thumbsup: Is basically began as this truck under my ownership Has since been evolved into this

Know this though to get the full effect and ride quality/handling out of a full 3"+ lift youll also need an adjustable track bar, LCAs and likely longer brake lines. once you pass 2-2.5" of lift the costs just go up to do it right ;)

The set i bought only netted me .75", I bought a set of XJ AALs for the rear to level it out but they werent needed. I have a set of 3" XJ AALs (will lift MJ around 1.5") for another time i guess :roll:

Renix is the name of the computer system used in our Trucks as well as many jeeps from 1987-1990. Your truck is run off a Renix type system. MPI and TBI stand for the way the fuel is injected in the engine. (Multi Port Injection/Throttle body Injected) The 4.0 uses MPI and sinces its an inline engine there is only 1 fuel rail to supply the injectors :thumbsup: Youll easly find any info you need about your truck around here, grab a beer (or Mountain Dew) from the fridge and enjoy your stay :cheers: :thumbsup:

Being an enginner or Conductor would be an enjoyable job id think.

You can use the XJ Axles, the rear will just need the spring perches cut off and rewelded on for the MJ springs, you would have 2 do the same thing with the MJ axle either way. Also youll need to fab rear shock mounts as well. Other than that just use your MJ leafs and youll net between 5-6" in the rear.

I wish i had a full layout somewhere, id be entertained for hours! I Railfan if that counts and post on Youtube....lol :yes:

Sprayed off the MJ for tonights/tomorrows winter mix Ordered a Radiator for my XJ as it seems to have split between the Plastic Tank and metal core....Blah Merry Christmas 2 me! :doh:

I installed my ZJ Coils and basically just leveled the truck out :hmm: ....lol It still looks good but it wasnt nearly the 1"+ of lift i was expecting so now i have a set of XJ AAL set aside for another project or intrested friend.

Took a drive in the mountains.....Today I'm adding ZJ Coils and a XJ Leaf the the rear Pics will come!

These are about the only 2 shots I have of me Driving :dunce:

I love it.....will be exciting to see all the different 1s after a few months. I love flawless MJs, Great Job Hornbrod!

Ill let ya know how the ZJ springs and XJ AALs work on my truck after this weekends install. I'm figuring on 2"-2.5" when I'm done This is ontop of a MO 1.5" BB.

I Would POR-15 the whole interior before putting the carpet back in......its just easy insurance :cheers: Gonna be sweet though!

Idk my FEY is pretty stout.....Ive never had an OEM MJ bumper to compare to though so i can't say much more.

Ive been lead to run 15w40 in the 4.0 so I run it in both my Jeeps and my Dads YJ without any issues :thumbsup: 3000 miles on intervals as well
