jtdesigns Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 OK... Before yall start internet bullying me cause I'm never around like I used to be; help me out... I'm torn on what I should do.. I know what your thinking... But not talking about the magic mattress....... :brows: I have a nearly perfect Eliminator bed that I drove about 14 hours to pick up from BLHTAZ (cause he's the man and went picked it up for me and held it till I could make the trip) I don't see my truck getting to the point I had my eyes set on, but I don't know if I should let go of my bed!! I could use the money,, and have started leaning toward getting rid of all the "collectible's" I have piled up.. Now,,, if I had the dry storage for the stuff I wouldn't even be typing right now,, but I don't! I guess I'll let you guys know I'm thinking of selling and if I do I'll list here first. HELP ME OUT!!!! :help: Think I should tuff it out,, but dang it's just collecting water..... ughhhhhhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Warrior Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Motivate yourself to put that bed to use :wrench: If that won't happen, sell it to somebody who could use it. There are more and more folks restoring MJs to better than new condition. A good bed will fetch a high price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreman1063 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 That depends, is it a long bed or short? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would love to have the time, energy, money, and a shop to do it all,, but right now like I said it's collecting rain water.. a d@mn waste I tell ya... foreman1063, It's a short bed,, I don't think the Eliminators had the long bed..

Dirteatr717 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 You could spend another 30 bones for a decent tarp :peek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 If your not going to use it, let someone have it that will. The biggest problem with hoarding is when the hoarder kicks off, all the next of kin sees is a big pile of junk, so it either winds up in the dump or the scrap yard.

HOrnbrod Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 It's a short bed,, I don't think the Eliminators had the long bed.. 91-92 Elims could be had with the long bed. :brows: Personally JT, me thinks you'll never need to use it being in NC. Sell it to a brother up North who really needs one. But don't give it away (knowing you that will never happen), get your price mate. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddzz1 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I would say to sell it JT. Especially if it will be a while before you get to use it, if at all. X2 if the one on your truck now is in nice shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperWade2 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hey JT....Good you see you on again.... you can't take it with you when you die...Goes for Cash and Comanche Parts... I'd sell it to someone you know will get use out of it if you can...if you can't find that person, get a tarp. But I'm the guy who sold out the MJ for a Family Wagon (5.9L ZJ) so my opinion probably doesn't count. :D Wade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webbjeepxj Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Here's another idea ......... Keep the bed, snag a pick up frame ......... bolt it on ......... I got this bed from a guy in the club who was going to scrap it ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjrev10 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 yep id love to have a nice bed up here in Northern MN :chillin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webbjeepxj Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Not to high jack, but I'm going to end up with an extra comanche bed (I founded a better one than mine) .......... I may peice together another homemade trailer, bed, tailgate, lights, bed box, trailer axle, etc. and sell it as a whole .... Anyone interested? (other wise the bed may get scrapped) viewtopic.php?f=3&t=28341&start=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
