SW86 Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Yes the 8.25 29 spline 4.88 gears with lunch box locker.. It's held up great.. It is like a boat anchor though and that's even with the shave I did to it.. Several buddies run it as well locked on 37s with zero issues and run as hard as I do..

SW86 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Everything..... No clue why, it just happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Time for a tube bed and 4 link.... just cut it right behind the cab and start putting it back together.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 It's just temporary. So I didn't have to rig up $#!& to hold my gas tank and exhaust.. I'm thinking tube with bedsides added.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Everything..... i still see a cab :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I've spent hours looking at tube beds for MJ's and they either look really good or really bad. I have a pic somewhere of an S10 with tube bed but they skinned the sides with the bedsides from the original bed.... really looked good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 It's not going to be a straight tube bed. Just enough tube to support the prerunner bedsides and a few cross over brace bars from side to side. The trick I see, is figuring out how to mount two spare tires upright and side by side in the back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbain Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Yea I get it.... prerunner beds are cool..... This is exactly the bed I intend to build when my bed is no longer functional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Cut more off the bed for the rear bumper and made temps for the tie-in brackets. I still need to trim them some more[br][br][br][br][br][br][br][br]Also made a way to bolt down the spare tire since tie downs weren't the best idea anymore :rofl:[br][br][br][br][br][br][br][br][br][br]It was just test fit. I'd like to get bolts to use lug nuts but lowes only had 4" bolts so I've got to use these until then.. The plate was 3/16", 7x9". Surely that'll hold it good..

SW86 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Tie in brackets knocked out, minus a little trimming once I fit the box in there. Also still waiting to hear back from the guy with my box steel.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Finally received my 12" curved light bar two months later,,, Matt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 A buddy hooked me up with this for free today.. Now I've got to figure out where to put it.. Maybe an insanely bright reverse light lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Bumper almost done. Need to add a d ring spot, weld and paint it.. Also cut out new brackets for the light bar mounts on the front bumper and cut the old ones off.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Rear bumper done! Minus yellow paint of course. Also got the light bar tabs and rear shock mounts on. Three years without rear shocks or recovery points. Saying its going to be nice is a huge understatement! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Light bar about to be in its permanent home.. A little uneven but I can shim or just say @#$% it.. Time will tell.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Done. It was a tight fit. it even snapped into place lol. Going to SMORR on Friday and knocked out 90% of what I needed to do.. Still have to make a harness for the light bar but that's about it. Ill be shock less for this run but I am going to order them this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Back from smorr. It's an okay place, nice for sure, but not worth a weekend trip. There's enough there to entertain you for a solid day. Few boulder trails, mainly ledges, which got old extremely fast.. Left side of moonshine.. We were the only ones to run it all weekend.. Which was hard to believe since buggies were all around.. Rear tire was over a foot in the air.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 you must be spoiled. i thought (and my entire club) thought it was well worth the 10hr drive we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 It's a four hour drive, maybe a hair more but the other two parks (superlift and hawk pride) are three hours and have @#$%ing boulders. Solid trails of big rocks. It wasnt a total waste, not at all. It's a nice place, good layout but its 85% ledges or creek rides. All the trails (minus several) are a level down than what they say. There were only a true few level fives there and it was that because there's one crazy obstacle on there, otherwise it's be a four! (Fubar specifically). The rest were threes and down. Not including the level 6s. Those were every bit 6. We covered that place minus two or three hill climbs, in a day...and that was with several breaks. Second day mid day we had already reran the goods ones, cheap trick, rattler, moonshine and puppy licker. Even those only had one or two awesome parts... Would I go back, yes. If the mood hit or there was a good event going on. Would I make a weekend of it, no. There's just not enough hardcore stuff to keep you entertained.. Unless you like ledges, lots and lots of ledges... Again don't get me wrong, beautiful place, great facilities and people. Awesome rock formations all over (no, not the ledges..) that you can find hidden away. Also the park has room to grow. I saw more potential trails as we went along.. To each their own I suppose though. I have pics and will post as usual.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW86 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 $#!& still need to upload smorr pics... Anyway first trip of 2015 baby! Headed back to hot springs orv park (no longer called Superlift) (Stereotypical trailer pic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
