GrandBoost98 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 How much weight could you put in the bed of an MJ? My big truck is down for a bit and I have to pick up a fireplace insert soon. It weighs about 450-500lbs. Shouldnt be an issue, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it depends on the condition of the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you want to look out for is how much pressure the feet are going to put on your floor. If your floor isn’t solid or you don’t want to mar the finish throw a sheet of plywood down. The weight itself isn’t going to be an issue for even the lightest gvw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodemonk Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I cut a horse mat to fit the bed of my truck. Heavy duty, comfortable, and cheap protection for any loads. As for what I did recently, just some temporary zip ties to hold the front inner fender lining up until I finish my timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankTheDog Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I think that econobox above yours is much more of a pos than yours is. Unless that’s your Lada. Oh, and I’d take your truck before any of those Audi’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Added some Rough Country MOLLE panels to my ‘88 SWB. They are intended for the Tacoma so a little trimming was required since I placed them behind the bed rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pic is my prepping to trim my fender after my truck got hit (damage was down low, was gonna trim anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatslug87 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I’ve been smelling gas under the hood of my ‘89 for the last couple weeks which was a leaky injector or two. Just replaced with refurbished Bosch 746’s, nice smooth idle at 750 RPM and no fuel smell! I guess the 34 year old injectors were at EOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff351 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Traded the D30 (?) rear end out of my MJ into the parts Jeep for the 8.25 rear axle. Amazing what a size difference there is just between these 2 axles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
