BigBum Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 HEY! This is my first post,.. so if it sucks to bad. But, anyways this is my baby- I got her a few months ago but i havent had much time to work on her. I bought her from an old guy in the city, so she was a fairly clean truck. Shes a '90 MJ Pioneer Metric Ton Automatic 4.0L 6cyl. The last few days my dad and I have been building bumpers for my truck, and so far it looks pretty good..... except for the primer of course. Theres a few minor pieces we have to add as well. I'm eventually planning on converting it into a 4wd, i want to replace the engine with a 4BT Cummins, and a new paint job. MORE TO COME.......!
JeepcoMJ Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 nice. suggestion before you paint the bumper.... angle the corners 45 degrees on it, and beef up the d-ring mounts. those d-ring mounts are about 1/2" too thin.
GATOR88 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 not a bad rig i like the bumper it will be a good woods truck
1990 Pioneer 4x4 Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Tuff look'n dog in a tuff truck :cheers:
WBKrazy Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 nice truck... welcome to your newest addiction! :cheers:
BigBum Posted November 17, 2009 Author Posted November 17, 2009 Now that i have all the parts i need to convert it into a 4x4, i can get started! I have diffs out of a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500; Dana 44 in front and a Corporate 9.25 in the rear along with a 4" lift, but the best part is its free of charge!
neohic Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 I have diffs out of a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500; Dana 44 in front and a Corporate 9.25 in the rear along with a 4" lift... 4" lift for a Dodge or 4" lift for a Jeep?
BigBum Posted November 17, 2009 Author Posted November 17, 2009 the dodge has it right now but I'm taking it off that and putting it on my comanche
freakjeep93 Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 sorrey to say this bt i don't think itll work.
BigBum Posted November 18, 2009 Author Posted November 18, 2009 my dads a welder so he will make it work.... lol
dunl Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Anything is possible....but not necessarily correct. lol
neohic Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 the dodge has it right now but I'm taking it off that and putting it on my comanche Sounds fun! Those springs will probably give you more than 4" though...
BigBum Posted November 19, 2009 Author Posted November 19, 2009 well i think it will all add up to like 8" of lift...... but i havent done the exact measurements yet
BigBum Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 We built a new bumper cause someone else bought the other one. How does it look so far?
GATOR88 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 no bad i just got done building mine the one i made is out of 4 inch pipe with a 1/4inch plate fer my winch(12,000) to sit on :drool: :drool: what i would do is put a hitch on the front of your bumper jus makes it nice when you get stuck or have to pull someone out :brows:
