mnkyboy Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 The new wheels are much nicer, I wish I had bought a 5th wheel for the spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnkyboy Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Didn't get to tinker on the MJ much this weekend, but I did get the spare strapped down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now I need to add at least a harness bar, once the new seats are in I will see what I can do to beef up the rear hoop,eventually I want to beef it all up a bit and add an external halo over the cab. It's a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 More stuff trickled in, not sure how much I'm going to like the harnesses but I will give them a try. Last night i ordered up some more tube for the seat belt bar and to X the back of the cage,I also got some gussets to add in places, the cage should be pretty sturdy. Now I need my order from Corbeau to show up so I can figure out the placement of the X and seat belt bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Took a month but the seats have arrived, now I can finish up the roll cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19comanche86 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Took a month but the seats have arrived, now I can finish up the roll cage.These are the seats I have been thinking for my truck. Have you put them in yet just to see how the fitment is? Are you using the stock MJ brackets or did you get the corbeau brackets?

mnkyboy Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 I haven't had a chance to mess with them yet, I had to make rails for my Dakota seats so for now the plan is to try to rework them to fit the Corbeau seats. I looked at their brackets, seems people complain that they sit pretty high, I want to keep the seats low if I can. Hopefully soon I can toss them in the truck so I can finish the cage work.

mnkyboy Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 I modified the rails from the Dakota seats and moved them over to the new seats. I think I'm going work on the transmission tunnel and see if I can get them to sit a little lower, otherwise they are pretty much were they are going to be.

mnkyboy Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Not much to update, I pulled the truck out and cleaned up the garage a bit. I also started cutting the tunnel, looks like I will be able to lower the seats by a few inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hell that looks like a great access point to drop front driveshaft. To bad it no stay that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 I originally made sections of the tunnel removable just for accessing the drive shaft,shifters, transfer cases,ect... it's pretty hard to get to that stuff from underneath due to the tummy tuck. At this point I'm not sure if I'm going to modify the first tunnel I made or make a new one. I think a custom tube center console would look pretty cool, so we will have to see what I do with it.

MiNi Beast Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Thats a great idea though. You can tube out full tunnel and frame for seats and have access panels and fully custom switches and monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted August 7, 2021 Author Share Posted August 7, 2021 Worked on the MJ a bit and got the seats bolted down, they are as low as I could get them, feels weird sitting so low in the truck after so many years with the old seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 they look comfy. now that the height is settled, I assume the harness rear crossbar is next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 That's the idea, once the harness bar is in I want to see about cross bracing the rear hoop, should make the cage a bit stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
