I bought a pack of these to use as shop lights. Price is good and they are fairly durable. Makes it like daylight when you throw a couple under a truck. https://www.amazon.com/Barrina-Integrated-Fixture-Utility-Electric/dp/B01HBT3BVM/ref=asc_df_B01HBT3BVM/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198091685650&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=62782416765550829&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1017890&hvtargid=pla-349628863411&psc=1

There is NO cooler vintage wheel than turbines. Forget the xj wheels they look like poo

If I understand your description correctly that is where the wiring for the automatic tcu goes through the firewall. A manual equipped truck should have a plastic plug in said hole. Edit: I guess I'm just too slow to reply. Lol

I have searched with no luck. How do I know where to locate the tow mirrors on the door. Can the holes be drilled from inside using the brace as a template?

Not sure I want to go back to carberation. Hell I even fuel injected my cj. Way more reliable and efficient.

Nice ride. Be sure and add some info to your signauture too. Welcome to the "club"

Is that dual dual carbs?

Gas for sure. If I was constantly pulling I might consider a diesel. But it won't always have a trailer on. 6.0l ls or nothing for me.

I have a set of tow mirrors and brackets. Thought about trying them. But when I hold them up on the truck it doesnt look like much difference. But ive never driven one with factory tow mirrors.

Yeah that's another project I don't need. Lol. That's kinda the thought being a newer truck is to hopefully lower the amount of time spent on maintenance/repairs. I spend a fair amount of time on my mj and it's still not to the point in super comfortable with the dependability. Still have nervous moments cruising down the road when the harmonics change. Will swapping to factory tow mirrors on the mj make a noticeable difference?

I believe there were different lengths made also. I think our columns are the s10, and car size. I think fullsize trucks and vans were longer columns that won't fit. I may be wrong on this. Working from memory isn't as accurate as it once was.

Looks like a decent solution. I'm curious to see it painted and finished.

I am shopping in the 20-30k range. Looking at 4wd 3/4ton. I am not buying new. Would never take a hit like that. Thought about renting but it seems to me I can never justify it financially to rent anything. Lol. Part of the issue becomes when the cj is "done" ,to the point I want it too be, I will need a rig capable of transporting it cross country. I feel as a jeep owner it is my duty to ensure my jeep sees Moab at least once during my ownership. Its like taking a Christian to the Holy land. It just seems lime the right thing to do. Lmao

I used an aftermarket lockdown cable kit from lokar when I swapped the 904 into my cj. Might be an option worth checking.

It won't have a note on it. Insurance won't be bad due to a cash purchase and only state minimum insurance. I'll fix my own $#!& if I wreck it. I'm trying to keep it real. I won't leave the mj outside to rot away. Id rather sell it to another than leave it stored outside again. I don't have room to store it inside. And here is a picture for you @minibeast

Currently a 14ft popup. Which is on the larger size for a popup. The mj and wj handle it well enough. Just can't see around it. I have a set of mj tow mirrors just havent committed to drilling holes in the doors. Id sleep in the back of the mj myself but the wife......

After back to back road trips, first one in the WJ second in the MJ. I have come to realize that maybe its time to give up on the the MJ being a daily driver and buy a newer full size truck. The wife and I have really taken to the camper and will be pulling it or possible a travel trailer around for a fair amount of the foreseeable future. It is impossible to see around the pop up camper even with the wj let alone the mj. Money is not a factor in this decision as I have the funds to buy a suitable truck cash outright. So the decision becomes what will I be happier driving long term. I have owned several MJs over the years and kicked myself every time I sold one. That said I can't justify the space to store a truck I am only going to use weekends and fun rides. I have a CJ that has been neglected by me for too long as my attention has all been on making the mj capable of dd status. If I buy another truck I will most likely sell the mj and devote the tinker time to the full resto my CJ so desperately deserves and it will become the wheeler/ weekend cruiser rig. My dilemma is basically all personal preference but I am seeking some advice from those that understand my love for these little trucks. I would love to be able to keep and fully restomod the MJ but just can't justify it and the CJ if I have a newer truck to drive. And before any one thinks of suggesting it the CJ aint going anywhere. I will NEVER part with my first Jeep. So if you were in my shoes, what would you decide?

He is going to find more rust free beds for those of us who missed out this round.

Umm I hate to be the bearer of bad news but your suffering short bar syndrome. Consult your local husqvarna dealer for the cure.

I spy an obvious respray job......

I hope I didnt sound like I was trying to talk you out of it. I enjoy a little mud work from time to time. Its a good skill to have in the bag.

FYI. New/inexperienced guy on a Crete crew is NOT an easy job. Depending on how the boss and crew operate it can be a very physical job. don't think its just pour and sit back to watch it dry.

We just had a similar issue with a fairly new (within 2 yrs) caliper on a friends excursion. New caliper solved our problem. Not saying its yours but wouldn't say its impossible.

I agree. But I doubt that one sees much "truck" use.

Make it a modular removable system so you can clean underneath.
