jpnjim Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 What kind of camera do you use? Rob L. I'm thinking one of those cardboard box/pinhole camera's we used to make in school (in the 1970's). ;) :D BTW, looks nice. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC-MJ Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 I think it maybe time to buy a new one or break out the nice one cause my last 2 dozen photos seem cloudy :fs1: . . . Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMC-MJ Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 :cheers: sweet 16's are cool I can have 16" wheels other wise i know i'll be mounting up a set of load range E's in an Mud tread :thumbsup: Heavier the ply rating on the lighter the truck the slower the tires wear ;) a Load range C 15" MT will last prolly 30-40K ish miles on this light truck just imagine how long i could get out a commercial traction tire in a load range E or 16's ?

kro10000 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 My A/Ts are E range, and I would NEVER recomend them... The ride is aweful and it beats the living heck outta the suspension. I got em for free, id never buy them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC-MJ Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 :bowdown: I'd buy E range tires for my MJ But best i could find was C's for 15" wheels :dunno: they seem plenty stiff tho 35psi in front and 45psi in rear :cheers: but i really hate buying AT :fs1: type tires, I'm an MT or Traction tread type of guy if they don't howl or whine i won't put them on any of my truck's :D :thumbsup: Now for my Car's smooth stealthy and silent is the name of the game . . . well except for when it comes to Camshafts and exhaust's ;) I can't help it i love loudness in my toy's :thumbsup: Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakjeep93 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 looks good. still needs some body work but the repowering looks like it will be a cool project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC-MJ Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 Before: AMC-150 I4, AX-4 4spd manual, D35 with 3.73's and 235/75R15 tires. After: AMC-290 V8, T-5 5spd manual, AMC-20 with 4.11's and 235/75R15 tires. I like how it sit's and looks on them 235's so those will stay tho the truck might sit a bit higher in the front a possibly the rear too . . . I'm going with a 1.75" front spring spacer kit for the extra weight of the V-8 so it more then likely sit higher the rear will be getting a set of helper spring's them 1 leaf add on's for each side a long with the coil spring that fits over the rear shocks may get added to . . . nothing set in stone its tentative depending on how things sit squish and hold a load The V-8 tho small dose weigh a bit more then the I-4 and i do believe the T-5 is slightly heavier then the AX-4 also, plus i am going to a fuel tank in the bed not sure what it weight's in at but i'm guessing it holds about 30ish gallons . . . New fuel tank: The Studebaker M275er is going to duel tank's, So rather then toss that tank out and my MJ needing a tank any how i figured i would mount that tank in the bed behind the cab ;) solving both issues Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORDENCOMANCHE Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 $#!&? 235's are special? I am rocking 235/75/15 on stock chassis with no issue, got the rims as part of my parts XJ I bought. it was a no brainer, $#!& rims and nice rims, I will put those things on my MJ never thought twice about it.
