PCO6 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I swapped the wheels & tires on my 2WD MJ. I plan to convert it to 4WD and do a 2" lift. I thought I'd throw these on, take a picture to use for "inspiration" and then take them off. It surprised me that they actually work without rubbing! 245/75R/16's with no lift ...

The cap in the center of the hub sticks out so far you can't put a center cap on the wheels. I love the MOABs and they look great on your truck!

I wasn't too worried about the plastic caps. I have MOAB wheels on all of my Jeeps and actually prefer them without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 walked over and set the new (to me) throttle body and linkage on the hood. maybe later in the week I can actually replace the stuck parts and get her running again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finneys98xj Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 No I haven't done a build thread here, but I have on another site. I have lots of 4clydiner parts and 2wd parts for sell I'll post them when I get the post count to post in the for sell section. The box I in decent shape with a few dents and some surface rust where is it dented and scratched. Its a Short box. The tailgate is the worst shape of it all but there isnt any rot in the bed. I'm in Va so if anyone needs it I'll get more pics. I will start a build thread here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokeyyank Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Put ACOS on the MJ to level out the front. Added about 2" also swapped over some quick discos, BPE and shocks form my recently departed XJ. How it was How it is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It surprised me that they actually work without rubbing! 245/75R/16's with no lift ... 31” tall and 9.6” wide. Nice stance. I’m looking for a ride or something to drive west from the Tricities, Tennessee area so I can get back to work on mine. I have sort of decided to keep the beater with 4.0L and convert to automatic then sell my ‘87 Shortbox MJ which is in nice shape except the 2.5 sucks up oil. I have to get my place ready to live in by the first of the month. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOrnbrod Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Is that a Grumman? I had an old 19 footer for years and loved it. Sold it a few years ago and got a more stable Alumacraft 14' so I could bring the dogs occasionally.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to trade it eventually for a 12-14’ just for the easier one man handling. Sanded it and painted it this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrapneltyphoon Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Rewired the b pillar to some ebay lights, spliced into those for some power for the vanity mirror lights on the sunvisors.
