Not the " LAST OF THE MANCHES " 2-92 build project.

[jschleeter]

I like your truck. Keep it nice and enjoy it. :clapping:

[dakineJ]

Good score on the truck :thumbsup: . Was 2-92 last production run of the MJ? Well, hang on to it, it should appreciate nicely. Just tell your wife it's a good invesment :D . I'm running 15x7" Soft 8's w/4" backspacing , no problem's.

[DJM/78]

Thanks !! I,m holding on to this one for sure !!

I think the last MJs , were built in 4-92 , or thats what I was told .

being that there were only about 1,000 , or less made that year . Also considering that allot of them were either wrecked or totaled .

Rusted and scrapped or modified beyond mostly stock . There just isn't that many left , if even in good shape .

There are allot of cool trucks out there , but the MJ , seemed to be a truck that had a little of everything that I wanted .

You should see all the big @ss lifted trucks , that get madd when I pull up next to them . Even with my truck being the smallest in

the lot . They give me all kinds of $#!& !! Must be little dick syndrome. :dunno:

Alright ! I got the shop to make new brackets for my bumper , I got the D" rings welded .

I'm trying to get it on this weekend with pics ! Thanks to all you guys who told me it was upside down , I would have

never guessed that was the problem . :nuts: :fool: :dunce:

 

Anywho , I,ll have pics up this weekend !

[freakjeep93]

so the brackets were on upside down?

[sinkrun]

Thats one nice truck!

[DJM/78]

Thanks Sinkrun !

I picked up the new style bumper this weekend . Took me forever to finish getting it bolted , the truck must have been

in some small fender bender at some point . The mounts where a b*@$£ ! Still a little off but I,m satisfied for now .

How does it look ?

I looked at that myself ! Its on the stock hangars . I put a stupid chrome tip for looks but soon looking at new complete exhaust .

[Dirteatr717]

I'm working on getting new exhaust too! I'm just waiting for some of that green stuff to fall out of the sky and land in my lap :nuts:

I believe so . I don't exactly know how many were made , I read on this site , somewhere ?

 

I do know they stopped production on the truck in 4/92" . So you have one of the very last MJ's ever produced !!! :thumbsup:

I bet pete or someone knows more about the exact numbers made in 92" .

I also thought that most of the 92" trucks were made in 91"

 

Anybody else have any more info or exact numbers ?

[STERLING STINGER]

I'm sure someones looking it up right now

this site never ceases to amaze me

[DJM/78]

I can't find it now , but the thread was," How rare are the 91"-92" MJ's .

There was allot of info in that thread , thats were I got the idea of my build thread .

 

Here's me trying to do anything computer savy ! :popcorn: :brows: :redX: :typing: :huh???: :doh: :wall: :help:

[Darren]

Nice shift boot.

[DJM/78]

Nice shift boot.

 

Ha , that crappy thing is from Auto Zone for like 15 bucks, or something .

I'm going to make a new one with REAL leather and red stitching , that truly fits .

I think its for a little rice burner , but kooks better than nothing . :driving:

Just make sure you bring that nice shiny motor with you ! :brows:

 

I'll show you anywhere you want to go . You could spend allot of time here and not even scratch the surface

of how many cool trails are here . However I just can't bring myself to go on highly difficult trails .

I don't plan on giving up my truck to mother nature . :shake:

 

Bring a camera too ! :thumbsup:

[DJM/78]

I finally got my wide 31" BFG 's to quit rubbing !! :banana:

 

You guys have probably done a million times better at this , but I wanted to show how I cut a very small section out of my front

 

fender, without cutting up the fender too much .

 

I'm not too proud of the inner plastic, but I'll fix that later .

 

I cut a small rectangle of metal about 1.5" - 2.0" inches out of the bottom back side of the inner fender well .

 

All the way back to the clip that bolts the bottom front quarter on . Without cutting the outer panel and body lines .

 

Any ruff or sharp edges were rolled and sanded smooth . I also slightly rounded the bottom quarter of the fender well , so that

 

in case of the tire ever going back that far , it won't tare up the tire too much . :shake:

 

Here are some pics .

 

This is for some guys that want a wider offset wheel and tire and don't have a major lift .

 

 

Here is a pic before I did the cuts , notice the jagged sheet metal edge under the middle of the inner panel .

 

I pretty much cut that back about 2" inches .

 

Now I have no rub anywhere , even with the wheel all the way over !!!! :beerhead:

[DJM/78]

I found some rust on my cab roof , upon further inspection I saw the rust had gotten down to the surface in several

 

areas . It didn't seem that bad , so I got pro-active and decided to sand and prime my cab roof .

 

Its just a light sand but I hope this will slow it down until spring , when I can spend allot more time getting a more

permanent coating .

 

 

Don't let those tiny spots fool you . I had to take most of that area down to the metal and then some .

Here you can see it spread . I did get most of it though .

 

 

Here are some pics of the finished cab hood . I used three cans of black primer .

[DJM/78]

Got to do some light wheeling during the weekend , now that I don't have any rub on my tires . :banana: Image Not Found

 

Doesn't look like much with my sh@ty camera , but its a straight 5'000 ft drop from here . :eek:

I like to see pics ! :drool:

 

Maybe one day you can cut -a-chogie on down here and we'll tare it up ! :chillin:

[DJM/78]

Just revising my thread to be more accurate . My truck is not even close to the last manche .

 

I thought it would be a cool build name though . Just out of respect for all the people on this site .

 

Free shots .

[reson46]

Are those D rings just for looks? I wouldn't trust them to much of a pull. Especially if the revised bumper brackets aren't attached to anything more than the originals.
